FDOT 2 Page 5 of 241 Mr. Gaither said with legislation in the air, there may be a potential for reprioritizing of projects in the Work Program and a reallocation of funds if an MPO proposes an earmarked project from their List of Priority Projects. FDOT is working on their List of Priority Projects, with consideration that rising costs may affect project completion. Mr. Evans said that the District One Safety Strategic Plan public workshop would be held March 17, 2025, from 3-5pm at the North Fort Myers Public Library. Chair Kowal asked who is responsible to handle a drainage issue near S.R. 84 and Kings Lake Blvd. Water runs off the road through the shopping center into a retention pond in the Kings Lake neighborhood and is often backed up. He said he would like to schedule a meeting with FDOT and Collier County Transportation Head, Trinity Scott, to discuss what the protocol would be for managing water drainage coming from state roads. Chair Kowal mentioned there is also a question of responsibility for a drainage issue off Sandpiper Rd., which runs between the City of Naples and Collier County. Mr. Gaither said FDOT had been in discussion with County staff regarding the issues, and said he would schedule a meeting with Chair Kowal for further discussion. Council Member Barton said he would welcome a discussion with Chair Kowa] regarding the drainage issue on Sandpiper Rd, as it is also a priority for the City of Naples. 7.B. MPO None. 8.

REGULAR BOARD ACTION (NO ROLL CALL) W.A. Elect Representatives to Serve on the Metropolitan Planning Organization Advisory Council Board for 2025 Ms. McLaughlin explained that the current Collier MPO Metropolitan Planning Organization Advisory Council Board (MPOAC) representatives, Commissioner McDaniel as primary and Commissioner Saunders as alternate, would be amenable to continuing in their roles. Chair Kowal moved to reelect Commissioner McDaniel and Commissioner Saunders as representatives to serve on the Metropolitan Planning Organization Advisory Council Board for 2025 and Council Member Schwan seconded. Passed unanimously. 10.B. Adopt Florida Department of Transportation Target Zero Safety Performance Targets for Calendar Year 2025 4 Page 7 of 241 Ms. McLaughlin said FDOT's Target Zero Safety Performance Targets must be adopted annually. She mentioned that safety issues were trending up in recent years, and that items of concern would be addressed in the Collier MPO's Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) presentation in item 11.A. Commissioner McDaniel moved to adopt the Florida Department of Transportation Target Zero Safety Performance Targets for Calendar Year 2025 and Commissioner Saunders seconded. Passed unanimously. 10.C. Approve a Reappointment to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee Ms. Miceli said that the term for Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) Chair Anthony Matonti was up for renewal, noting that with Mr. Matonti's experience with MPOs, the Florida Department of Transportation, Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority, and his work as an urban planner, staff recommended that the Board approve the reappointment. Commissioner McDaniel moved to approve a reappointment Anthony Matonti to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee and Council Member Schwan seconded. Passed unanimously. Commissioner LoCastro asked about the status of the Board's request for a recommendation for a solution to the e-bike issue put forth to the BPAC. Chair Kowal informed the Board that he had been in meetings with BPAC Chair, Mr. Matonti, the County Sheriff, and the State regarding the e-bike issue, which culminated in an Ordinance being drafted that he was trying to move forward. Chair Kowal said that although there had been no movement yet, he was exploring all possibilities for an Ordinance or regulations to take hold. A group discussion followed, and it was mentioned that it may be up to the County and local municipalities to produce solutions to the e-bike issue and that there are facility considerations to accommodate e-bikes in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan update in development. Council Member Barton mentioned that there is an Ordinance for the 5' Avenue Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) in the City of Naples which prohibits bicycles on sidewalks, and that the City is actively pursuing to further the ordinance beyond the CRA. Commissioner Saunders requested that Mr. Teach research the way other municipalities are managing motorized micromobility and to find if any enforceable ordinances have been adopted that might work for Collier County. Ms. Avola-Brown requested that if there is an ordinance that forbids motorized micromobility on sidewalks, that the Board include an education awareness campaign for drivers, as most bicyclist fatalities in Collier County occur when riders are struck by vehicles while riding in bike lanes. The conversation continued regarding possible solutions with considerations of regulations that would be effective, safe, and enforceable. Council Member Schwan mentioned that upon reviewing Chair Kowal's ordinance at a recent Page 8 of 241 Marco Island Ad Hoc Bike Lanes and Shared Paths Committee, the Committee suggested adding language to include all motorized micromobility, such as scooters. 10.D. Approve a New Appointment to the Citizens Advisory Committee Ms. Miceli said that the City of Everglades City requested to reassign Harry Henkel to the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) from the Technical Advisory Committee JAC). With Mr. Henkel's involvement in several Everglades City community organizations and excellent attendance at TAC, staff recommended that the Board approve the appointment. Commissioner Saunders moved to approve the appointment of Harry Henkel to the Citizens Advisory Committee and Commissioner LoCastro seconded. Passed unanimously. I.O.E. Review and Approve Scope of Services for Joint Lee/Collier Regional Congestion Management Process Ms. McLaughlin said that the idea for the joint study came from discussions arising from last year's proposed bills before the state legislature regarding merging the Collier and Lee MPOs. The study would look at improving congestion and creating consistent signal timing across county lines, on roads between Alico Rd. on the north end and Immokalee Rd. on the south end. The study would be included as an element of each MPO's individual Congestion Management Processes, which would be included in Collier MPO's 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan. Ms. Mclaughlin requested that the Board approve Collier MPO to move forward in the procurement process to hire a consultant to develop Collier MPO's component of a Joint Lee/Collier Regional Congestion Management Process (CMP) Element for the Long - Range Transportation Plan. Commissioner Hall moved to approve the Scope of Services for Joint Lee/Collier Regional Congestion Management Process and Council Member Schwan seconded. Passed unanimously. 11. REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS 11.A. Safe Streets and Roads for All - Comprehensive Safety Action Plan Update and Presentation on Draft Existing Conditions and Safety Analysis Memorandum Ms. Meekins provided a presentation (which can be viewed in the February 14, 2025 MPO Agenda). 11.13. FDOT Presentation on Old 41 Project Development & Environment Study Mr. Andrews introduced Mr. Dockins and shared FDOT's safety message. Mr. Dockins provided a presentation (which can be viewed in the February 14, 2025 MPO Agenda). 0 Page 9 of 241 A group discussion followed, regarding concerns about right-of-way cost estimates, whether there would be a potential need for relocation, and stormwater issues, and what other more cost effective techniques there might be, the cost feasibility of the project, and that redirecting analysis of the Project Development & Environment Study (PD&E) to focus on the intersections and shared -use paths might be a more efficient and effective choice, as Veterans Memorial Blvd. may offset some traffic congestion. Ms. McLaughlin suggested that the reevaluated PD&E could be added as an addendum to the PD&E that had already been completed and that the proposed funding for the refocused study could be presented at a future meeting. Commissioner Saunders moved for the Old 41 Project Development & Environment Study to be reevaluated to focus on improving intersections and adding bicycle and pedestrian facilities and Commissioner Hall seconded. Passed unanimously. Mr. Dockins said he would work on a redirected study effort and mentioned that the goal was to complete the project before June 2026, when stormwater rules would change, making the project more challenging to complete. 11.C. Report on Status of Lee County and Collier MPO Consolidation Feasibility Study Ms. McLaughlin said that FDOT approached Lee and Collier MPO to fund and administer a consolidation feasibility study, budgeted at $250,000, and requested input on a potential scope of tasks. The reason for the study is last year's legislative session, Senate Bill 1032, which included a requirement for the Lee and Collier MPOs to conduct a feasibility study on consolidating the two MPOs. Though the legislation did not get to a final vote, it is likely to come back up again. The Collier and Lee MPO directors coordinated on providing the draft Scope of Services being presented in response. Logistics, finances, and apportionment would be reviewed. FDOT received a draft scope from the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR). The MPO was looking for the Board's guidance on how to proceed. Commissioner Saunders said he did not see how Collier MPO would benefit from a merger with Lee, citing the most recent joint MPO Board meeting where a majority of the Lee MPO Board members did not attend. He added that he thought there was a very good possibility that the study would be conducted, the funds would be spent, and that ultimately, the Board would opt not to consolidate. He wondered if the funds could be spent better elsewhere. He asked that Lee and Collier MPO staff meet and assess the benefits of consolidation and report back whether Lee County MPO supports doing the study. Chair Kowal concurred and said his concern would be equality of the voting and apportionment and inquired as to whether there would be a point to moving forward since the bill did not pass. Commissioner McDaniel concurred with not doing the study. Mr. Gaither mentioned that the Lee MPO Board had a similar response to the study, and that if the money was spent elsewhere, it would be in District 1, but not necessarily in Collier County. He asked if FDOT could be in attendance when Collier and Lee MPOs meet. . 7 Page 10 of 241 Commissioner Saunders moved to continue the item to the next Board meeting so that Collier MPO and Lee County MPO staff can meet with FDOT and report back on whether Lee County MPO supports having FDOT continue with the study, and Commissioner McDaniel seconded. Passed unanimously. 12. DISTRIBUTION ITEMS 12.A.

MEMBER COMMENTS Commissioner McDaniel requested that the Right Turn Only sign be removed at the intersection of Collier Blvd and S.R. 84, as the right lane is closed. He also asked about the status of the studies for lighting and/or signalization on S.R. 29. and C.R. 858, as well as the reflective paint that was to be installed. There have been three fatalities over the last year. Mr. Gaither said that two studies had been completed, and he would send the results to Commissioner McDaniel and that the reflective paint had been added to the road. Commissioner Hall asked what the process is to fix sinkholes on US 41. Mr. Gaither said that FDOT has a drainage project moving forward for US 41. He said he was working with the City of Naples' Deputy City Engineer, Alison Bickett, and planned to attend the City of Naples City Council meeting to provide a presentation on the project. The roadbed will be replaced from 51}i Avenue South to Golden Gate Parkway. Page 11 of 241 Commissioner Saunders asked if there was a more immediate and temporary fix as the road is dangerous. Mr. Gaither said he would look into what immediate fixes could be completed and follow up with the Board. Council Member Barton thanked the Commissioners for mentioning the US 41 issue as that was going to be his member comment and agreed that an immediate fix was needed. He asked Mr. Gaither to inquire what quick fix could be done when meeting with Ms. Bickett about the project. 14. NEXT MEETING DATE 13.A. March 14, 2025- 9:30 a.m. Board of County Commissioners Chambers, 3299 Tamiami Trail East, Naples, FL 34112 15.

CONSIDERATIONS: The MPO Board approved a work order for Capital Consulting Solutions to complete the 2024 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update at its April 14, 2023, meeting. The Plan will: Establish a methodology by which MPO member governments can submit stand-alone bike/ped projects for the MPO's SU Box, Transportation Alternative funds, and Carbon Reduction Formula funds. Identify regional bike/ped project priorities to support applications submitted by member governments or MPO staff to discretionary grant programs. Include public safety education and outreach as a component of the Plan, outreach should address all users and abilities, including elementary school children. A notice to proceed to Capital to develop the Plan was issued on June 12, 2023, and the current expiration date for the project is June 11, 2025. MPO staff has acknowledged the 142-day time extension is necessary because, during the course and development of the Plan, it was determined that the final Plan would best be scheduled for MPO Board review at its meeting on June 13, 2025. The MPO Board is not scheduled to meet again after then until September 12. Changes may be requested at the Board's meeting in June for the consultant to make between the two meetings.

The new expiration date for the project with this change will be on October 31, 2025. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: Contracting matters are not presented to committees. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve Change Order 1 granting Capital Consulting Solutions a 142- day extension of time to complete the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and authorize the Chair to sign the Change Order.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Good afternoon Sean, Please consider this email a formal request for an additional 142 days to complete the Collier MPO Bicycle -Pedestrian Master Plan Update. The justification for this request is that the current Notice to Proceed (NIP) expires on June 11, 2025, while the Master Plan is scheduled for review by the MPO Board on June 13, 2025. If the Board identifies necessary revisions during the June 13th meeting, the next opportunity to present an updated plan for approval would not be until the September 12, 2025, MPO Board meeting. However, extending the timeline through October 31, 2025, would provide additional flexibility if the September meeting is canceled due to unforeseen circumstances, such as weather disruptions or the Board failing to meet quorum. This extension ensures adequate time for revisions, stakeholder engagement, and any necessary follow-up presentations, offering a contingency plan to facilitate final approval of the Master Plan. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Best Regards, Anthony Arfuso, El, PMP Civil Engineer Capital Consulting Solutions - DBE/MBE/SBE 9010 Strada Stell Ct.

CONSIDERATIONS: Kevin Dohm is a Marco Island resident who says contributing to transportation safety has been his life's work. A retired United Airlines pilot and former Aeronautical Advisory Board Member for the State of Illinois, Mr. Dohm believes that continually improving safety in the transportation industry is paramount. Prior to his career in aviation, Mr. Dohm worked as a firefighter and paramedic. Currently, Mr. Dohm serves on the Marco Island Ad Hoc Bike Lanes and Shared Paths Committee and the Collier MPO Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC). Council Member Schwan has expressed her recommendation of Mr. Dohm to serve on the CAC as the representative for Marco Island. The City of Marco Island City Council approved the nomination of Mr. Dohm to the CAC at its March 3, 2025 meeting. There is no language in the Collier MPO Advisory Committee Bylaws that would prohibit a citizen from serving on two Collier MPO committees concurrently. MPO Executive Director Anne McLaughlin believes that Mr. Dohm's representation on the CAC will be a benefit for both committees.

The symposium is geared toward educators who do not necessarily have a background in aviation, empowering them to introduce students to the various career possibilities in the field. There's high demand for aerospace engineers, scientists, aircraft and powerplant mechanics, and pilots, of course. The symposium has also become an important professional development resource. Prominent speakers across the aviation industry shared their expertise and experience for educators to use in their classrooms. This year's symposium counted 50 exhibitors, 50 speakers, and 450 registered visitors, two of whom came from as far away as Thailand. Aviation bootcamps on the first day were standing -room only. Dan Justman, vice president of the AOPA Foundation's You Can Fly program, welcomed participants aipd introduced airshow legend Sean D. Tucker, who inspired the audience with valuable insights based on his experience running the Bob Hoover Academy. The event continued with more than 30 breakout sessions, includingnew- to-the-program presentations on "How to Find and Cultivate Financial Support for Your Program: Fundraising and Grants loll" "Implementing Career and Technical Education Programs of Study: A Regulatory and Practical Guide," and "Beyond the Classroom: How Do You Convince Your District to Engage in Crewed and -Unmanned Flight?" On Tuesday, U.S. Air Force 2nd Lt. Madison Marsh, the reigning Miss America, was the keynote speaker at the closing general session and impressed the audience with her motivating story of overcoming several obstacles to reach her career goal. Since its inception in 2017, the AOPA Foundation's High School Aviation STEM cur- riculum has generated enthusiasm in schools and classrooms across the country. It is currently serving students in 570 programs in 48 states. This year alone, 29,600 students are enrolled, and the program has helped more than 97,200 stu- dents to date. Of its graduates, 63 percent aspire to a career in aviation, 23 percent are women, and 43 percent are minority background. The next symposium is slated to be held in Indianapolis in 2025. = sylvia.horne@aopa.org youcanfly.aopa.org/high-school/ high -school -curriculum The You Can Fly program and the Air Safety Institute are funded by charitable donations to the AOPA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization.

Purdue will work with TakeFlight Interactive, which will provide 20 lessons with 57 scenarios using an artificial intelligence flight instruction platform. "Participating students will uniquely gain real, measurement -proven, transferable flying skills in a high school classroom setting," the university said. Sean D. Tucker served as an inspirational speaker at the tenth annual You Can Fly Symposium; U.S. Air Force 2nd Lt. and reigning Miss America Madison Marsh was the keynote speaker; teachers and CFls participating in myriad activities during the three-day event.

Since all of Florida's MPOs adopt a new Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) annually, many of the questions related to the TIP adoption process have been removed from this certification, as these questions have been addressed during review of the draft TIP and after adoption of the final TIP. As with the TIP, many of the questions related to the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) and Long -Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) have been removed from this certification document, as these questions are included in the process of reviewing and adopting the UPWP and LRTP. Note: This certification has been designed as an entirely electronic document and includes interactive form fields. Part 2 Section 10: Attachments allows you to embed any attachments to the certification, including the MPO Joint Certification Statement document that must accompany the completed certification report. Once all the appropriate parties sign the MPO Joint Certification Statement, scan it and attach it to the completed certification in Part 2 Section 10: Attachments. Please note that the District shall report the identification and provide status updates of any corrective action or other issues identified during certification directly to the MPO Board. Once the MPO has resolved the corrective action or issue to the District's satisfaction, the District shall report the resolution to the MPO Board. The final Certification Package should include Part 1, Part 2, Risk Assessment Scoring Sheet, and any required attachments and be transmitted to the Central Office no later than June 1 each year. Page 119 of 241 526,010.05 FDOT Joint Certification POLICY PLANNING Part 2 -- FDOT District 11124 Risk Assessment Process Part 2 Section 1: Risk Assessment evaluates the requirements described in 2 CFR 200.332 (b)-(e), also expressed below. It is important to note that FDOT is the recipient of federal funds and the MPOs are the subrecipient, meaning that FDOT, as the recipient of Federal - aid funds for the State, is responsible for ensuring that Federal -aid funds are expended in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. (b) Evaluate each subrecipient's risk of noncompliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward for purposes of determining the appropriate subrecipient monitoring described in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section, which may include consideration of such factors as: (1) The subrecipient's prior experience with the same or similar subawards; (2) The results of previous audits, including whether the subrecipient receives a Single Audit in accordance with Subpart F—Audit Requirements of this part, and the extent to which the same or similar subaward has been audited as a major program; (3) Whether the subrecipient has new personnel ornew orsubstantially changed systems; and (4) The extent and results of Federal awarding agency monitoring (e.g., if the subrecipient also receives Federal awards directly from a Federal awarding agency). (c) Consider imposing specific subaward conditions upon a subrecipient if appropriate, as described in §200.208. (d) Monitor the subrecipient's activities as necessary to ensure that the subaward is used for authorized purposes, in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward, and that subaward performance goals are achieved. Pass -through entity monitoring of the subrecipient must include: ., Page 120 of 241 FDOT Joint Certification Part 2 -- FDOT District (1) Reviewing financial and performance reports required by the pass - through entity. (2) Following up and ensuring that the subrecipient takes timely and appropriate action on all deficiencies about the Federal award provided to the subrecipient from the pass -through entity detected through audits, on -site reviews, and written confirmation from the subrecipient, highlighting the status of actions planned or taken to address Single Audit findings related to the particular subaward. (3) Issuing a management decision for audit findings pertaining to the Federal award provided to the subrecipient from the pass -through entity as required by 200.521. (4) The pass -through entity is responsible for resolving audit findings specifically related to the subaward and not responsible for resolving crosscutting findings. If a subrecipient has a current Single Audit report posted in the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and has not otherwise been excluded from receipt of Federal funding (e.g., has been debarred or suspended), the pass -through entity may rely on the subrecipient's cognizant audit agency or cognizant oversight agency to perform audit follow-up and make management decisions related to cross -cutting findings in accordance with section 200.513 a 3 vii . Such reliance does not eliminate the responsibility of the pass -through entity to issue subawards that conform to agency and award -specific requirements, to manage risk through ongoing subaward monitoring, and to monitor the status of the findings that are specifically related to the subaward. (e) Depending upon the pass -through entity's assessment of the risk posed by the subrecipient (as described in paragraph (b) of this section), the following monitoring tools may be helpful for the pass -through entity to ensure proper accountability and compliance with program requirements and achievement of performance goals: (1) Providing subrecipients with training and technical assistance on program -related m and 525-010.05 POLICY PLANNING W24 CIAQ Page 121 of 241 FD O T Joint Certification POLICY PLANNING Part 2 — FDOT District 11P4 (2) Performing on -site reviews of the subrecipient's program operations; (3) Arranging for agreed -upon -procedures engagements as described in 200.42 If an MPO receives a Management Decision due to the Single Audit, it may be assigned a high -risk level. After coordination with the Office of Policy Planning, any of the considerations in 2 CI=R 20 0,331 (b) may result in an MPO being assigned the high -risk level. The questions in Part 2 Section 1: Risk Assessment are quantified and scored to assign a level of risk for each MPO, which will be updated annually during the joint certification process. The results of the Risk Assessment determine the minimum frequency by which District MPO Liaisons review the MPO's supporting documentation for their invoices for the upcoming year. The Risk Assessment Scoring Sheet is available in the Liaison Resources Libra . This spreadsheet must be used to calculate the Risk Assessment Score. The frequency of review is based on the level of risk in Table 1. Table 1. Risk Assessment Scoring The Risk Assessment part of this joint certification has two main components, the Certification phase and the Monitoring phase, and involves regular reviewing, checking, and surveillance. 1. Certification phase: the first step is to complete this Risk Assessment during the joint certification review, which runs from January 1 to June 1 (The red arrow in Figure 1). During these 5 months, a Risk Assessment assesses the previous calendar year (January 1 through December 31). 2. Monitoring phase: After the joint certification review has been completed, the Risk Assessment enters the Monitoring phase, where the MPO is monitored for 12 months CA Page 122 of 241 FDOT Joint Certification Part 2 — FDOT District 525-01 Q06 POLICY PLANNING 11124 starting on June 1 (The green arrow, Year 1 in Figure 1) and ending on June 1 of the following year (The green arrow, Year in Figure 1). This process takes 17 months in total. On January 1 of each year, the new Certification phase begins, which overlaps with the previous year's Monitoring phase.

CONSIDERATIONS: This item is continued from the February 14, 2025, meeting as requested by the MPO Board with the stipulation that the Collier MPO Director contact her counterpart at Lee County MPO and report back on whether Lee County MPO supports having the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) conduct the Feasibility Study. FDOT's draft Scope of Work, prepared by the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida, arrived too late to be included in the MPO Board's February agenda packet. It is now provided in Attachment 1. Phase One will address: • Current MPO planning and business practices • Current regional planning coordination • Items in federal and state law that affect consolidation • Benefits/drawbacks of consolidation as expressed by local elected officials • Draft apportionment plan that complies with federal and state requirements The Lee County MPO Board has not taken formal action to express whether they are for or against conducting the Feasibility Study. The next Lee County MPO Board meeting will occur on March 21, 2025. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: A preliminary draft Scope was presented to the Technical and Citizens Advisory Committees at their January meetings. No formal action was taken. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The two MPO Directors support having FDOT proceed with developing Phase One of the Feasibility Study, at which point the two MPOs could call for a vote to determine whether there is support for continuing to Phase Two. PREPARED BY: Anne McLaughlin, MPO Director ATTACHMENTS: CUTR draft Scope of Services for Lee and Collier MPO Consolidation Feasibility Study Page 143 of 241 Scope of Services COLLIER AND LEE COUNTY MPO CONSOLIDATION FEASIBILITY STUDY Federal (23 USC §134) and state (s. 339.175, F.S.) transportation statutes require the establishment of a metropolitan planning organization (MPO) to manage the performance -based metropolitan transportation planning process for urbanized areas with populations larger than 50,000 (UZAs) as defined by the United States Census Bureau. The Lee County MPO was established in 1977 to cover the Census defined Fort Myers urbanized area which covered the central city of Fort Myers and surrounding areas in Lee County, Florida. The Collier MPO was established in 1982 to cover the Census defined Naples urbanized area which covered the central city of Naples and surrounding areas in Collier County Florida. Since the designation of the two southwest Florida UZAs and the associated MPOs, the region has experienced tremendous population growth. The current contiguous UZAs (the Cape Coral UZA and the Bonita Springs -Estero UZA) cover areas much larger than the original UZAs, with changes in central city designations and have contiguous boundaries that cross county lines. In response to the changing nature of the neighboring metropolitan areas, legislation was proposed during the 2024 state legislative session to direct the Collier and Lee County MPOs to conduct a study considering the feasibility of merging the two MPOs to form a regional MPO that would cover both counties. While the proposed legislation was not approved, the area's legislative delegations, MPO leadership, and area stakeholders remain interested in the feasibility of consolidating the two MPOs and their associated planning processes. In support of this ongoing discussion about MPO consolidation, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District 1 has provided funds to conduct a feasibility study (detailed in Phase I of this scope of work) that will provide information necessary for the two MPO Governing Boards to determine whether to pursue the creation of a new regional MPO.

With increasing population growth, expanded urbanized areas, and shared transportation needs, discussions about potential MPO consolidation have emerged as a means to enhance efficiency, streamline operations, and improve regional coordination. However, MPO consolidation is a complex process involving governance, funding, operational, and legal considerations. Before making any determination about consolidation, it is critical to assess stakeholder perspectives, evaluate institutional feasibility, and document potential benefits and tradeoffs. Recognizing the evolving transportation needs of the region, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District 1, requested that the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida conduct a feasibility study to assess the potential benefits, challenges, and key considerations associated with merging the two MPOs. FDOT's interest in this study is driven by the need to evaluate whether a consolidated MPO structure could improve regional decision -making, optimize the use of federal and state transportation funds, and better align long-term planning efforts across county boundaries. This feasibility study will explore whether and how MPO consolidation could support the region's long-term transportation planning needs. By using a structured, phased approach that includes regular contact with local elected officials, the study will ensure that technical and procedural discussions are informed by a robust stakeholder engagement process. PROJECT OBJECTIVES The study will be conducted in two phases and will address a range of issues related to MPO consolidation. It will include sufficient detail for MPO Governing Board members and staff to determine if the creation of a new regional MPO is viable and desirable. Phase I Tasks are the primary focus of this scope of services. Phase II Tasks are informational and subject to adjustment based on Phase I activities and decisions. Information to be addressed in the feasibility study include: Phase I Current MPO planning and business practices Current regional planning coordination practices and activities Potential items in federal or state law that could impact the consolidation of the two existing MPOs Page 145 of 241 Benefits/drawbacks and concerns resulting from MPO consolidation as expressed by local elected officials (those currently on one of the two MPO Governing Boards and other local elected officials from MPO member jurisdictions) Potential apportionment plan for the proposed consolidated MPO Governing Board that complies with federal and state requirements Phase II (for informational purposes only) A detailed peer assessment of similarly situated MPOs in Florida and other states across the U.S. (those that cover more than one county and UZA and/or those that have considered consolidation in the relatively recent past) to identify potential benefits, drawbacks, challenges, and obstacles to MPO consolidation General potential costs and funding mechanisms for a consolidated MPO based on current costs of the two existing MPOs and peer MPOs A list of additional tasks that must be undertaken to achieve MPO consolidation and a potential timeline for completing those tasks B. PROJECT TASKS This project focuses solely on Phase I of a two-phase effort. Phase I will be used to explore the local background and identify the issues that must be addressed for the Collier and Lee County MPOs to successfully move toward consolidation. Phase II, if approved and funded, will address the organizational issues identified in Phase 1, providing a path for the two MPOs to consolidate following an agreed upon timeline. The CUTR team recognizes the value of incremental capacity building ahead of critical decision points to ensure that informed conversations are taking place. Each of the tasks developed for this project includes engagement opportunities between the CUTR team and the MPOs' staff and Governing Board Members. Early engagement opportunities are intended to build a common base of knowledge relative to current planning conditions in the region and the requirements of federal and state law/regulation. Later engagement opportunities are intended to solicit informed perceptions of benefits, drawbacks, and trade-offs of MPO consolidation, resulting in agreement that a distribution of voting seats for a consolidated MPO Governing Board that both complies with federal and state laws/regulations and is politically acceptable can be achieved during Phase II of the project. This section outlines the proposed approach for Phase I of the project and offers a draft approach for Phase II. PHASE I Task 1. Kickoff Meeting and Presentations Before diving into technical assessments and procedural discussions, it is critical to ensure that all groups involved in the project are aligned on the study's purpose, scope, and expectations. To that end, the CUTR team will hold a kickoff meeting with the Collier and Lee County MPO Directors, FDOT Project Manager, and any other invited MPO and FDOT staff to discuss the project objectives, tasks, and schedule. A formal agenda and summary will be prepared for this meeting. 2 Page 146 of 241 As part of this meeting, the MPO Directors will provide the CUTR team with a general overview of current individual MPO practices, procedures, and products. Additionally, the MPO Directors will generally describe regional coordination practices between the Collier and Lee County MPOs, and other regional planning partners. A detailed analysis of current local and regional planning and business practices will be developed during Task 2. Of particular value during this meeting will be a discussion of Task timing and opportunities for engagement with MPO Governing Board members and other local elected officials. The CUTR team recognizes the importance of well-timed engagement with local decisionmakers and has built opportunities for engagement with MPO Governing Board members, local elected officials, or both into this and all of the remaining project Tasks. The CUTR team, in coordination with the MPO Directors, will identify dates to give kick-off presentations to the Collier and Lee County MPO Governing Boards. The kick-off presentations will inform Governing Board members of the purpose and approach of the feasibility study, including an anticipated timeline and expected engagement points between the CUTR team and MPO Governing Board members. Deliverables: • Coordinate a kickoff meeting, including a formal agenda and meeting coordination activities • Conduct a kick-off meeting • Prepare a kick-off meeting summary. • MPO Governing Board presentations Task 2. Current Local and Regional MPO Planning and Business Practices Following the initial kickoff meeting described in Task 1, the CUTR team will document what they have learned about individual MPO planning and business practices from the Collier and Lee County MPO Directors. This information will be supplemented with a detailed document review of MPO agreements, bylaws, apportionment plans, planning documents, personnel and business policies and procedures, and any other relevant documentation provided by the MPO Directors. During this process, the CUTR team will also document the existing regional planning coordination practices between and among the Collier and Lee County MPOs and other regional transportation partners. This information will be provided by the MPO Directors during the project kickoff meeting (described in Task 1) and supplemented by interviews with relevant regional transportation planning partners. Additional documents related to regional planning provided by the MPO Directors or relevant partners will be reviewed. Information related to current local and regional MPO planning and business practices will be summarized in a draft technical memorandum. MPO Directors, MPO Chairs, and FDOT staff will be provided with an opportunity to comment on this document. A final technical memorandum will be prepared based on MPO and FDOT comments to the draft technical memorandum. The findings on current local and regional MPO planning and business practices will be presented to the Collier and Lee County MPO Governing Boards. A determination of whether this presentation should be made to each MPO separately or to a joint meeting of the two MPO 01 Page 147 of 241 Governing Boards can be made as part of this Task. This presentation will inform board members on the key similarities and differences between Collier and Lee County MPO planning and business practices and highlight areas in which the two MPOs already interact to make regional planning decisions. This will set the stage for future discussions focusing on the potential advantages, disadvantages, opportunities, and trade-offs associated with a consolidated MPO structure. Deliverables: • Draft technical memorandum • Final technical memorandum • MPO Governing Board presentation(s) Task 3. Document Federal/State Laws and Regulations Pertaining to MPO Consolidation/Redesignation and Identfy/Clarify Potential Issues The CUTR team will review and document federal and state laws and regulations pertaining to MPO consolidation and redesignation. The ways that the laws and regulations may impact the consolidation and the areas that are unclear or require clarification will be noted. The CUTR team, with the MPO Directors, MPO Chairs, and FDOT staff, will coordinate with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and/or the FDOT to get clarification and discuss any potential areas in federal or state law and regulations that could complicate or otherwise impact the consolidation of the two MPOs through the federal redesignation process. The CUTR team will develop a list of questions for the FHWA, FTA, and/or FDOT staff ahead of scheduling coordination meetings. The CUTR team will draft a technical memorandum summarizing the questions and responses as well as any issues that will require future resolution or remain unanswered. The memorandum will also identify how each of the responses positively or negatively impacts the potential consolidation of the two MPOs. MPO Directors, MPO Chairs, and FDOT staff will be provided with an opportunity to comment on the draft technical memorandum. A final technical memorandum will be prepared based on MPO and FDOT comments to the draft technical memorandum. The findings from this task will be presented to the Collier and Lee County MPO Governing Boards. A determination of whether this presentation should be made to each MPO separately or to a joint meeting of the two MPO Governing Boards can be made as part of this Task. This presentation will educate board members on the requirements of federal and state law and include any potential issues that the MPOs may face, should they agree to move forward with a plan to consolidate. This presentation will inform future discussions relevant to a potential consolidated MPO, including MPO membership and potential Governing Board structures. Deliverables: • Draft technical memorandum • Final technical memorandum • MPO Governing Board presentation(s) El Page 148 of 241 Task 4. Documenting MPO and Local Elected Officials Perspectives on MPO Consolidation The CUTR team, supported by the MPO Directors, will conduct a survey of local elected officials (both those who are on MPO Governing Boards and those who are not) to identify perspectives on the potential benefits and drawbacks of a consolidated MPO, including recommendations for planning activities that are not currently being accomplished through existing regional coordination agreements and activities. Prior to conducting the survey, the CUTR team will summarize the Task 2 and 3 findings in a short briefing document. Presentations will be made to the MPO Governing Boards to brief them on the upcoming survey and to give them an opportunity to ask clarifying questions and consider the relevant issues ahead of survey distribution. All local elected officials will be provided with the briefing document summarizing the findings from Tasks 2 and 3. This document will focus on current local and regional business and planning practices, consolidation/redesignation requirements, and potential issues in federal or state laws/regulations to assist them with responding to the survey. The CUTR team will draft a technical memorandum summarizing the survey results. The draft findings from the local elected official survey will be presented to the Collier and Lee County MPO Governing Boards, which will also include a facilitated discussion of the identified potential benefits, drawbacks and recommended planning activities of a potential consolidated MPO. A determination of whether this presentation should be made to each MPO separately or to a joint meeting of the two MPO Governing Boards can be made as part of this Task. This information could alternatively be shared in a workshop format and include any interested local elected officials who participated in the survey. Members will also be provided with an opportunity to ask additional questions and express their remaining concerns. A final technical memorandum will be prepared incorporating MPO Governing Board member discussions and MPO Director and FDOT staff comments. Deliverables: • Briefing document and MPO Governing Board presentations • Survey of local elected officials • MPO Governing Board presentation(s) on survey responses and facilitated discussion of remaining questions and concerns • Draft technical memorandum • Final technical memorandum Task 5. Draft Apportionment Plan and Identification of Items for Further Study as Part of Phase II The CUTR team will assist the two MPO Governing Boards to identify and test the feasibility of a high-level potential apportionment plan for a consolidated Governing Board, which would likely take the form of a split of seats between the two counties with more details to be fleshed out during Phase II of the project. The draft plan will be consistent with federal and state requirements and consider concerns expressed by local elected officials during Task 4. The MPO Directors, MPO Chairs, and FDOT staff will be provided with an opportunity to comment on the draft apportionment plan. A revised potential apportionment plan will be prepared based on MPO staff and attorney comments on the draft documents. 61 Page 149 of 241 Collier and Lee County MPO Governing Board members will then be engaged in a facilitated conversation about the potential apportionment plan at one or more workshops. It is anticipated that this discussion will lead to an agreement on a high-level distribution of seats on a consolidated MPO Governing Board and a commitment to continue to explore MPO consolidation. The Governing Board members will also be given an opportunity to express any remaining issues or concerns they want addressed in Phase II of the feasibility study. Ultimately, consensus to continue exploring MPO consolidation will be sought through formal action of the existing MPO Governing Boards. Phase II Task items (currently included in this scope of services for informational purposes) will be revised based on the input from the MPO Governing Boards, should they both express a willingness to proceed. MPO Directors, MPO Chairs, and FDOT staff will be provided with an opportunity to comment on the draft Phase II Tasks and a proposed Phase II budget. A modification of the existing scope of services (or a new scope of services) will be prepared based on MPO and FDOT comments and preferences. Deliverables: • Draft and revised proposed high-level apportionment plan • MPO Governing Board workshop(s) • Final high-level apportionment plan and formal MPO approval to continue exploring MPO consolidation • Revised Phase II Tasks, budget, and modified or new scope of services PHASE II (included here for informational purposes; subject to modified or separate contract and budget) Task 6. MPO Peer Assessment The CUTR team will conduct a detailed analysis of peer MPO business and planning practices. Areas of focus will include MPO administration and business practices (hosting arrangements, staffing, personnel policies and benefits, invoicing, procurement, etc.), MPO Board and committee structures and procedures (apportionment planning, voting and meeting practices, etc.), public engagement practices, project prioritization and programming methods, funding mechanisms, and other planning processes and activities. The assessment will also look at mechanisms used by peer MPOs to balance local and regional needs. Up to five (5) peer MPOs will be identified for this assessment in consultation with the MPO Directors and FDOT staff. If possible, the assessment will include the Rio Grande Valley MPO, which was formed through the consolidation of three previously existing MPOs. Information gathered through this peer assessment will be summarized in a technical memorandum that identifies current MPO peer business and planning practices, emphasizing noteworthy practices and issues of value and relevance to the potential consolidation of the Collier and Lee County MPOs. MPO Directors, MPO Chairs, and FDOT staff will be provided with an opportunity to comment on the draft technical memorandum. A final technical memorandum will be prepared based on MPO and FDOT comments to the draft technical memorandum. The findings on peer MPO planning and business practices will be presented to the Collier and Lee County MPO Governing Boards. The findings on peer MPO planning and business practices will be presented to the Collier and Lee County MPO Governing Boards. A determination of whether this presentation should be 1.1 Page 150 of 241 made to each MPO separately or to a joint meeting of the two MPO Governing Boards can be made as part of this Task. This presentation will educate board members on lessons that can be learned from MPOs that have faced similar issues that they will face as a multi -county MPO. This information will be used to inform future discussions focusing on a range of considerations relevant to a potential consolidated MPO, including balancing competing interests on a multi - jurisdictional board, successful business practices, and public outreach in a larger area. Deliverables: • Draft technical memorandum • Final technical memorandum • MPO Governing Board presentation(s) Task 7. Investigate Consolidated MPO Organizational Structures and Costs The CUTR team will identify potential organizational structures at a planning level (sufficient for decision -making purposes), including associated high-level cost estimates and staffing arrangements. The structure will be based on information gathered about the current organizational conditions in Collier and Lee County MPO (Task 2) and those of peer MPOs in Florida and elsewhere (Task 6). MPO Directors, MPO Chairs, and FDOT staff will be provided with an opportunity to review and comment on the potential organizational structures. Reactions to the potential organizational structures, including the characteristics and relative costs, will be sought through an online survey of local elected officials as well as during presentations to both MPO Governing Boards. The goal of the survey is to gauge the willingness of local jurisdictions/agencies to act as a host agency for a consolidated MPO and sentiment among local elected officials to those potential hosts. A determination of whether the presentation should be made to each MPO separately or to a joint meeting of the two MPO Governing Boards can be made as part of this Task. Once survey and presentation input has been received, the potential organizational structures will be revised and presented to the Collier and Lee County MPO Governing Boards for formal action relative to a preferred organizational structure. The resulting action will lead to agreement of a preferred host agency or a determination that a consolidated MPO will operate independent of a host agency. Based on the consensus path forward for the organizational structure of a consolidated MPO (hosted or independent), the CUTR team will then develop a transition plan that provides more detail on staffing, costs, future funding, and other operational considerations. An assessment of financial liabilities and assets of both MPOs () likely to be in place at the time of a merger will be conducted. This process will include developing a balance sheet of assets and liabilities. Responsibility for addressing those liabilities will be assigned and included in the transition plan. Start-up and continuing costs for a consolidated MPO will be identified as will a funding stream for covering the future costs of a consolidated MPO, including mechanisms for providing the required "capital float" (the funding to pay for operating and other expenses ahead of federal and state reimbursement). Future funding will be based on projected federal planning fund (PL) allocations and member contributions. The CUTR team will include explanations of how core planning documents will be funded, including using federal suballocated federal Surface Transportation Block Grant funds for transportation management areas (SU) funds to supplement 7 Page 151 of 241 PL and local contributions, if needed. The transition plan will include recommended MPO policies, procedures, internal controls, and bylaws for the proposed consolidated. A draft timeline for consolidation, detailing milestones for MPO actions either individually or collectively, will be provided as a part of the plan. MPO Directors, MPO Chairs, and FDOT staff will be provided with an opportunity to comment on the draft transition plan. The draft plan will be modified based on MPO and FDOT comments. The revised transition plan will be presented to the Collier and Lee County MPO Governing Boards for comment. A determination of whether this presentation should be made to each MPO separately or to a joint meeting of the two MPO Governing Boards can be made as part of this Task. A final transition plan will be prepared based on Governing Board comments to the draft plan. Deliverables: • Draft potential organizational structures document • Online survey and presentation(s) to MPO Governing Boards of draft organizational structures • Final organizational structures document and MPO Governing Board presentation(s) and formal action • Draft transition plan • Final transition plan and MPO Governing Board presentations Task 8. Final Report and Draft Conslidation Timeline The CUTR team will review existing agreements and contracts to make recommendations on what changes are required and what new agreements contracts must developed and implemented. From this review, along with the information developed in Task 7, a draft timeline for consolidation will be developed, detailing milestones for individual or collective MPO actions. A draft final report will be developed detailing the information on any issues and changes required within existing agreements and contracts, any new agreements and contracts that need to be developed and implemented, and a recommended timeline for consolidation. The draft final report will also include a summary of findings and decisions made as part of each of the preceding tasks. MPO Directors. MPO Chairs, and FDOT staff will be provided with an opportunity to comment on the draft final report. The draft report will be revised based on MPO and FDOT comments and presented to the Collier and Lee County MPO Governing Boards for comment. A determination of whether this presentation should be made to each MPO separately or to a joint meeting of the two MPO Governing Boards can be made as part of this Task. The draft final report will be revised based on Governing Board comments and submitted as final. Deliverables: • Draft final report, including a draft timeline for MPO consolidation • A revised draft final report based on MPO and FDOT comments • MPO Governing Board presentation(s) • Final report based on Governing Board comments E:3 Page 152 of 241 C.

CONSIDERATIONS: The 2045 LRTP Cost Feasible Plan was instrumental in establishing a new "SU Box" allocation formula that was a refinement of a formula that had previously been in place. The original formula calls for an annual allocation on a 20:20:40 ratio between bridges, congestion management and bicycle/pedestrian projects. The change was prompted by the need to allocate SU funds toward the cost of developing an LRTP every five years and to allocate some funding toward safety projects as called for in the Local Roads Safety Plan. The revised allocation ratio was devised to be achieved over a 5-year period. The MPO has followed this rotation schedule since the 2045 LRTP was adopted in December 2020. The next Call for Projects would ordinarily be issued this spring, and the program category would be Congestion Management System, for funding in FY 2032, as shown in the chart below. 2045 LRTP "SU Box" Allocation - 5yr Cycle Million CY Call Priority Year Program SU, for List CY TIP FY TALU, Projects Adopted CALU 1 CMS $5.7 2023 2024 2030 Bike- 2 $5.7 2024 2025 2031 Ped 3 CMS $5.7 2025 2026 2032, Bike- 4 $5.7 2026 2027 203Ped Bridges 5 LRTP $5.7 2027 2028 20 1 Safety Total 1 $29 Equals 38.38:18.3.3 Split over 5 year period The MPO Director will provide an overview regarding priority projects in the pipeline for funding and the costs associated with the draft roadway needs list in comparison with revenue projections for the 2050 LRTP at the meeting.

CONSIDERATIONS: Federal law requires the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to jointly certify the transportation planning processes of Transportation Management Areas (TMAs) at least every four years. A TMA is an urbanized area, as defined by the US Census, with a population over 200,000. Collier MPO's Census -designated urbanized area is Bonita Springs — Estero, which is why Collier MPO is referred to as the Bonita Springs -Estero TMA in the Certification Report. The cover letter to the report certifies the MPO's planning process through December 2028. The final TMA Certification Review Report is included as Attachment 1. Ms. Teresa Parker, Planning Team Leader with FHWA's Florida Division, will attend the meeting virtually to give a brief overview of the Report. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: N/A.

McDaniel, Jr. 2885 South Horseshoe Drive Naples, FL 34104 Dear Commissioner William L. McDaniel, Jr., Chairman: Federal law requires the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to jointly review and certify the metropolitan transportation planning process for each Transportation Management Area (TMA) every four years. A Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) with an urbanized area of 200,000 or more in population is referred to, in federal legislation, as a TMA. We recently conducted a review of the Bonita Springs -Estero TMA, more commonly referred to as the Collier MPO. As a part of the TMA certification review process, FHWA and FTA utilized a risk -based approach containing various factors to determine which topic areas required additional evaluation during the certification review. The certification review process is one of several methods used to assess the quality of a regional metropolitan transportation planning process, compliance with applicable statutes and regulations, as well as the degree of technical assistance needed to enhance the effectiveness of the planning process. This certification review was conducted to highlight best practices, identify opportunities for improvements, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. The review of Collier MPO's planning process included a site visit, conducted by representatives from the FHWA and the FTA on July 23-24, 2024. During the site visit, time was spent with the MPO staff, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and the transit agency to discuss the status of the MPO's "3-C" planning process. Throughout the site visit, opportunities were afforded to local elected/appointed officials and the general public to provide their insights on the Collier MPO's planning process. In addition to assessing the MPO's progress in addressing the findings from the previous certification review, the MPO's current and/or future implementation of the metropolitan transportation planning requirements was also considered. Enclosed for your consideration is the final TMA Certification Review Report for the Bonita Springs -Estero TMA, which includes documentation of the various components of the Page 159 of 241 2 FHWA/FTA certification review of the Collier MPO. The report provides an overview of the TMA certification review process, summarizes the various discussions from the recent site visit, provides a series of review findings, and issues the FHWA/FTA certification action. In general, the review determined the existence of a "3-C" metropolitan transportation planning process that satisfies the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 134, 49 U.S.C. 5303/5305, and associated Federal requirements. The Federal Review Team recognized six (6) noteworthy practices, identified no corrective actions, and offered one (1) recommendation to improve the current planning process of the Collier MPO. Based on the overall findings, the FHWA and the FTA jointly certify that the transportation planning process of the Bonita Springs -Estero TMA, which is comprised entirely by the Collier MPO, substantially meets the federal planning requirements in 23 CFR 450 Subpart C. This certification will remain in effect until December 2028. If you have any questions regarding the certification review process and/or the TMA Certification Review Report, please contact Carlos A. Gonzalez at (850) 553-2221 or by email at Carlos.A.Gonzalez(ddot.gov or Curlene Thomas at (407) 867-6422 or by email at Curlene.Thomas(u)dot. gov.

A certification review generally consists of four primary activities: a site visit, a review of planning documents (in advance of the site visit), the development and issuance of a FHWA/FTA certification report and a certification review closeout presentation to the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) governing board. As a part of the TMA certification review process, FHWA and FTA utilize a risk -based approach containing various factors to determine which topic areas required additional evaluation during the certification review. The certification review process is only one of several methods used to assess the quality of a regional metropolitan transportation planning process, compliance with applicable statutes and regulations, and the level and type of technical assistance needed to enhance the effectiveness of the planning process. This certification review was conducted to highlight best practices, identify opportunities for improvements, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Transportation planning for the Bonita Springs -Estero TMA is conducted by the Collier MPO. The last certification review was completed in 2020. The Federal Review Team conducted a site visit for the current review of the Collier MPO on July 23-24, 2024. The Federal Review Team recognizes six noteworthy practices, identifies no corrective actions, and offers one recommendation the Collier MPO should consider for improving their planning processes. More information related to these findings can be found in the Findings/Conclusions section of this report. Based on the overall findings of the certification review, the FHWA and FTA jointly certify that the transportation planning process of the Bonita Springs -Estero TMA, which is comprised entirely by the Collier MPO, substantially meets the federal planning requirements in 23 CFR 450 Subpart C. This certification will remain in effect until December 2028. Page 163 of 241 This Page Intentionally Left Blank Page 164 of 241 Table of Contents Collier MPO Section I.

Overview of the Certification Process Under provisions of 23 CFR 450.336(b) and 49 CFR 613.100, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) must jointly certify the planning process of Transportation Management Areas (TMAs) "not less often than once every four years." This four-year cycle runs from the date of issuance of the previous joint certification report. The primary purpose of a certification review is to formalize the continuing oversight and evaluation of the planning process. The FHWA and the FTA work cooperatively with the TMA planning staff on a regular basis. By reviewing and approving planning products, providing technical assistance, and promoting best practices, the formal assessment involved in a certification review provides an external view of the TMA's transportation planning process. A certification review generally consists of four primary activities. These activities include: 1) a "desk audit" which is a review of the TMA's planning documents (e.g. Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP); 2) a "site visit" with staff from the TMA's various transportation planning partners (e.g. the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), local/regional transit service provider, and other participating State/local agencies), including opportunities for local elected officials and the general public to provide comments on the TMA planning process; 3) a Certification Report, which the Federal Review Team prepares, to document the results of the review process; and, 4) a formal presentation of the review findings at a future Collier MPO Board Policy meeting. Certification of the planning process is a prerequisite to the approval of Federal funding for transportation projects in metropolitan areas. The certification review also helps ensure that the major issues facing a metropolitan area are being addressed. The review process is individually tailored to focus on topics of significance in each metropolitan planning area. Since 2018, to initiate the TMA certification review process, the Federal Review Team has utilized a risk -based approach containing various factors to determine which topic areas required additional evaluation during the certification review. Appendix A summarizes the risk evaluation, and the report notes in the relevant sections which topic areas were not selected for review due to existing stewardship and oversight practices after considering the risk factors. The review for the Collier MPO was held July 23-24, 2024. During this site visit, the Federal Review Team met with MPO Staff, FDOT, Collier Area Transit Staff, Collier County Transportation Management Services Staff, the Collier MPO Board Chair, the Lee County MPO Executive Director, and the meeting was open to the public in person and Collier MPO 2 1 P a g e Page 166 of 241 online. See Appendix B for a list of review team members and site visit participants, and Appendix C for the TMA Certification Meeting Agenda. The purpose of the public engagement process is to inform the public of the Federal transportation planning requirements and allow the public an opportunity to provide input on the transportation planning process to the Federal Review Team. A virtual public meeting for this certification review was held on July 23, 2024. Public feedback and engagement on the MPO's planning process was obtained through MPO Board Meetings, Agency Partner Meetings, the IN MOTION Collier MPO Newsletter, through various Collier MPO committees, press releases, Facebook, and periodic e-mail blasts following the public meeting. For those that could not attend the public meeting or who did not want to speak or post publicly, contact information for the Federal Review Team was provided. Members of the public were given 30 days from July 23, 2024, to mail or email their comments and/or request a copy of the certification review report. Additional comments were received by FHWA and FTA during the 30-day comment period. A copy of the public engagement notices can be found in Appendix D. Screenshots of public input, minutes from the public meeting, including a listing of commenters and a summary of the public comments is provided in Appendix E. A summary of the 2020 corrective actions and recommendations and their statuses can be found in Appendix F. An explanation of planning acronyms can be found in Appendix G. Section II.

Collier MPO 8 1 P a g e Page 172 of 241 The MPO electronically provides documentation related to transportation planning processes on its website, actively soliciting input into its planning products and providing the many ways by which interested parties can be more involved. The MPO also effectively employs visualization techniques in all documents such as the LRTP, TIP, STIP, and UPWP, satisfying federal requirements. The MPO uses the PPP and regularly coordinates its programs, services, and activities with FDOT, demonstrating robust public participation and considering public input throughout the development of the LRTP and the TIP. Moreover, the MPO considers its traditionally underserved communities, including minority and low-income households. The MPO periodically revisits the PPP, updating it as needed and assessing its performance to ensure a continued full and open participation process. Additionally, the MPO employs select social media outlets as well as an expansive advisor network to further inform the public about meeting times, locations, and participation opportunities, such as those for developing and amending the LRTP and TIP. The MPO has the update to its PPP (including the Title VI plan) for consideration on the December 2024 Board meeting agenda. Finding: The MPO's outreach and public participation activities substantially satisfy the federal requirements as outlined in 23 CFR 450.316. Noteworthy Practices: The Federal Review Team recognizes two noteworthy practices regarding Outreach and Public Participation. For more details about these noteworthy practices, please see Section XI. B. Tribal Coordination Observations: The Collier MPO provides a reasonable opportunity to the Indian Tribes and Nations by involving Tribal Government(s) with lands located within its jurisdiction to participate in transportation planning processes, including the development of the public participation plan, LRTP and the TIP. Finding: The MPO's tribal coordination activities substantially satisfy the federal requirements as outlined in 23 CFR 450.316(c). C. Title VI and Related Requirements Current Document Title: Nondiscrimination Policy, Complaint Procedure, & LEP Plan Date Adopted: June 12, 2020 Observations: The Collier MPO has a coordinator assigned to Public Involvement and Title VI, who has direct, independent access to the MPO Executive Director. The MPO has developed and executed a nondiscrimination policy, assurance, a complaint filing procedure and 4-factor Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan, all of which are broad enough to cover Title VI classifications and those defined by other federal and state authorities. The MPO reviews its plans, programs, and services at least triennially to Collier MPO 9 1 P a g e Page 173 of 241 determine nondiscrimination and equitable distribution of benefits and burdens and collects/analyzes demographic data of those impacted by its transportation decisions. Since the last certification, the MPO has significantly advanced its Community Characteristics Inventory as well as the extent to which it uses demographic data to prioritize projects or otherwise analyze impact of its transportation decisions on traditionally underserved populations. For example, the MPO employed both the US EPA EJScreen and the USDOT ETC Explorer to map disadvantaged communities and document transportation needs. The MPO then validated the data using US Census products and community input before layering data over crash statistics, to create a priority schema for bike and pedestrian projects. The result included implementing three significant bike/ped projects in an underserved community, improving safety and access to employment, medical, social, and retail services. The MPO provides reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in providing access to its plans, programs, and services. The MPO-posted nondiscrimination policies and complaint filing procedures specifically enumerate disability as a protected classification and identify a coordinator by name who is responsible for administration of the ADA program. The MPO ensures that its plans and activities include input by and consideration of those with disabilities or their service providers. The MPO is an independent entity with a Staff Services Agreement and Lease Agreement with Collier County, which has a transition plan as described by 28 CFR 35.150(d) covering both program access and pedestrian facilities. The plan is periodically updated, and the results are made available for public inspection. Finding: The MPO's Title VI and related activities substantially satisfy the federal requirements as outlined in 49 CFR 21, 49 CFR 27, 23 CFR 200, 23 CFR 450.316 and 336(a). Section VII. Linking Planning and NEPA (23 CFR 450.318, 320, 324(f)(10), 324(g)) Observations: This topic area was not selected for additional review based on the results of the risk assessment process. Finding: The MPO's linking planning and NEPA activities substantially satisfy the federal requirements as outlined in 23 CFR 450.318, 320, 324(f)(10), and 324(g). Collier MPO 10 1 P a g e Page 174 of 241 Section Vill. Congestion Management Process (CMP) (23 CFR 450.322) Current Document Title: Collier MPO Congestion Management Process - 2022 Update Date Adopted: April 8, 2022 Observations: The Collier MPO developed a congestion management process that was developed and implemented as part of the planning process, included coordination with system management and operation activities, and multimodal system performance measures and strategies which are reflected in the LRTP and the TIP. The MPO's CMP includes the following: methods to monitor and evaluate performance, defines congestion management objectives and appropriate performance measures for assessing congestion and evaluation of strategies, a coordinated program for data collection and system performance monitoring, and the identification and evaluation of performance and benefits from the process. The MPO has also periodically assessed the effectiveness of the implemented strategies and used the assessment results when selecting effective strategies for future implementation. The MPO last assessed the process in April 2022. In accordance with 23 CFR 450.322(h), the Collier MPO developed a congestion management process that includes projects and strategies that are incorporated into the TIP and consists of regional goals to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) during peak commuting times in densely populated areas; identifies transportation services that support access to jobs in the region; and identifies future projects and programs to reduce congestion and increased access to job opportunities.

Findings/Conclusions The following items represent a compilation of the findings that are included in this 2024 certification review report. These findings, which are identified as noteworthy practices, corrective actions, and recommendations, are intended to not only ensure continuing regulatory compliance of the Collier MPO's transportation planning process with federal planning requirements, but to also foster high -quality planning practices and improve the transportation planning program in this TMA. Corrective actions reflect required actions for compliance with the Federal Planning Regulations and must be completed within the timeframes noted. Recommendations reflect national trends or potential risks and are intended to assist the Collier MPO in improving the planning process. Noteworthy practices highlight efforts that demonstrate innovative ideas or best practices for implementing the planning requirements. A. Noteworthy Practices 1. Transit: Regional coordination between Collier MPO, Lee County and Charlotte - Punta Gorda MPOs has moved to the forefront since 2022. The Collier MPO and Collier County served as co -leads on the Collier Area Transit Regional Service and Fare Study. In December 2023, Collier MPO signed a Joint Resolution initiated by Lee County MPO and involving Charlotte -Punta Gorda and Sarasota Manatee MPOs, to submit a funding request to conduct a Southwest Florida Rail Feasibility Study. These are two examples of Collier County's exemplary coordination and collaboration related to transit and multi -modal transportation with MPOs and other agencies in the region. 2. Transit: The Federal Review Team commends the Collier Area Transit (CAT), who collaborated to transform a retired bus into a mass casualty ambulance. The bus is now a fully functional mass casualty ambulance with medical supplies and cots. The new bus -ambulance will serve as a crucial resource for the community during emergencies, providing vital transportation & medical care for those in need. 3. Safety: The Federal Review Team commends the Collier MPO for its proactive actions when integrating safety in the planning process. The MPO adopted a Local Roads Safety Plan (LRSP) in May 2021. The high crash corridor and intersection locations identified in the LRSP were incorporated into project prioritization criteria in the 2045 LRTP, the Bike-Ped Master Plan, and the Congestion Management Process. The MPO Director regularly reports on progress made towards implementing the LRSP in the Annual Report to the Board. 4. Outreach and Public Participation: The Federal Review Team was impressed with the optional field visit organized by the MPO. The field visit related to the identified topic areas and provided a sense of the local community through interviews with project principals. The Federal Review Team visited the Traffic Management Centers for Collier County and Naples, observing operations and learning more about the technology employed to monitor and mitigate congestion. The Team also Collier MPO 131Page Page 177 of 241 received a thorough tour of the main Collier Area Transit (CAT) facility and maintenance yard, observing firsthand the deterioration of the building, particularly in the wake of Hurricane Ian, and the challenges it creates. Finally, the Team visited the Golden Gate neighborhood, emphasizing how an enhanced understanding of community needs led to critical pedestrian network improvements and a planned complete streets project that will advance safety and the community's access to area facilities and services. The field visit highlighted for the Federal Review Team the level of mutual respect and commitment these communities have to work together. 5. Outreach and Public Participation: The Federal Review Team commends the MPO for its recent development of a public service video used to introduce viewers to transportation planning and encourage public involvement. The video was produced entirely in house and edited with the assistance of Collier County Communications. Interviews with board and committee members highlight the diversity of the MPO and the importance of public participation for transportation decision making. The success of the project has boosted the MPO's confidence and is anticipated to lead to further internally created public service videos, perhaps related to safety or specific planning products. 6. Congestion Management Process: The Federal Review Team is impressed with the Collier MPO fact sheets created to provide key traffic information and recommended multimodal strategies for alleviating congestion. Additionally, the Collier MPO process to call for congestion management projects is a good way to identify and prioritize congestion issues and provide funding to locally identified solutions to that address congestion. Eligible projects include signal -timing improvements, ITS technology, transit, and bike/ped projects. B. Corrective Actions No corrective actions have been identified. C. Recommendations LRTP Financial Plan/Fiscal Constraint: The MPO's 2045 Plan discusses the revenue sources and how those revenue sources were used to identify funding for the projects in the Cost Feasible Plan. It also includes a narrative demonstrating the fiscal constraint of those funds and projects programmed. The Federal Review Team noted that 1) the Federal and State Revenue Projections table (Table 5.2) does not include revenue from for years 2021 - 2025 of the Plan, and 2) the Cost Feasible Projects list (Table 6.1) shows the project costs and funding for the first five years. However, Table 6.1 does not clearly show the accumulated total sums of the project costs and revenue sources for the first five years. The Federal Review Team recommends that the MPO clearly demonstrate the fiscal constraint of the full plan in one table when developing the 2050 LRTP. This could be accomplished by providing a table that summarizes the total sum of all revenue sources and project costs, Collier MPO 141Page Page 178 of 241 covering the horizon years which includes the first five years of the Plan. For additional assistance, please see the FDOT Technical Memorandum 21-02 Fiscal Constraint of the Long Range Transportation Plan. D. Training/Technical Assistance At the conclusion of the site visit, the Federal Review Team asked the MPO staff if they had any training or technical assistance needs. The Collier MPO identified technical assistance requests for the following topical areas: resiliency and impacts of climate change (with regards to the 2050 LRTP) and E-bikes and other forms of micro -mobility — including facility planning, safety considerations, and regulations. FHWA and FTA will work with the MPO to provide resources in these areas. E. Conclusion Based on the overall findings of the certification review, the FHWA and FTA jointly certify that the transportation planning process of the Bonita Springs -Estero TMA, which is comprised entirely by the Collier MPO, substantially meets the federal planning requirements in 23 CFR 450 Subpart C.

Speed limits are in place to keep you and those around you safe. Together, we can create a safer summer for all by slowing down and staying cool on the road. In Florida, the speed limit will never be higher than 70 mph on highways. Slow down - no excuses. Speeding is against the law and extremely dangerous. Obeying speed limits improves safety by reducing the probability and severity of crashes.\ Learn more at Florida HigbAay Safety & Motor Vehicles Safe Summer Travel Bar* row Kevm Dotvn -BPAC, Sean Kingston-Co,Vier MPO, Alan M isico -BPAC.

Summary of Public Feedback FHWA and FTA would like to thank everyone who participated in and contributed comments for the Collier MPO TMA Certification Review. Public comments are a vital element of the certification review, as they allow citizens to provide direct input on the transportation planning process for their transportation planning area. The MPO received comments during the virtual public meeting on July 23rd. Additional comments were also received during the 30-day public comment period following the site visit. Comments included praise for the MPO's transparency and coordination practices, on increasing funding for paratransit and bus services in Collier County, such as providing better service to schools, work, and areas to socially gather. We have reviewed all comments and have taken them into consideration throughout the writing of this report. The public comments received begin below. Public Comments Received at the July 23, 2024, Public Meeting Attendees Tony Khawaja, Chief of Collier County Traffic Operations Charles Lasari Lorraine Lantz William L. McDaniel Jr, MPO Board Chair, Collier County Commissioner Brandy Otero, Collier County Grants Supervisor Trinity Scott, Collier County Service Department Head Don Scott. Lee County MPO Executive Director Brian Wells, Director of Collier Area Transit Comments Charles Lasari, Local Coordinating Board (LCB) Member Mr. Lasari lives in Naples, FL and is legally blind/low vision. He currently uses paratransit services. He's been using it for five months now because he cannot drive. Mr. Lasari relies heavily on it. `I very much appreciates the paratransit system because without it I could not be as active as I'd liked to be. When I came to Naples I worked even after retiring as an end of life RN. But I had to stop working two years ago due vision loss. Yet, there are services that can be improved. " Mr. Lasari thinks the paratransit system is underfunded. He serves on the LCB and is beginning to learn how government systems work and because Collier is growing in leaps and bounds but the transit isn't growing with it. "The paratransit service needs to be looked at. It is a great asset to people like me who are disabled. I could not get place to place without it. I also use Lighthouse as an asset to learn how to be independent. I would hope that federal government would provide more funding to the county so that they could have more buses on the road. Growth is exponential and paratransit cannot keep up with the needs. Thank you to Collier MPO 43 1 P a g e Page 207 of 241 Collier County but I hope that more funding is forthcoming. I just turned 74 last week and there are so many youth over at the Lighthouse that really need services to get to school, work and to visit friends so they aren't socially isolated. The County does the best it can with the funds that it has — but county needs more personnel, a better routing system, and more resources. I just wanted to make that point. Thank you for the opportunity to speak this evening. MPO works hard to meet the needs of everyone, and I am just one small part of that and happy to be an advocate for others in the community that have the same and similar needs ". The information was relayed to Transit provider (Omar De Leon, Transit Manager, Collier Area Transit is aware of Mr. Lazari 's comments) Lorraine Lantz Lorraine was formerly with the Collier MPO and is now the Collier Planning Manager. Lorraine sits on the TAC as the chair and attends the CMC and the CAC. "I wasn't planning on speaking but since there isn't a lot of people online, I thought I'd speak to the MPO's coordination with the local agencies. I find them very responsive and helpful and a very good resource. MPO recently applied for and is starting a SS4A grant, but the ultimate goals for the results and recommendations would result in a project that can be implemented by the county. That has worked very well with the county, where the MPO does a study and the County implements it, acts on it. I find that pipeline to be very helpful. It's nice to have a champion in the MPO for the local agencies.

Collier MPO 461Page Page 210 of 241 --------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- - ......................... From 20 years of research, I have discovered how to connect to the Sun to supply most of the world's energy needs and this can be accomplished by utilizing existing well-known solar power and battery power storage technologies. My goal is to promote the development of sustainable transportation and housing throughout Florida, the U.S., and globally. This includes providing solar power for passenger and commercial vehicles, light -rail mass transit, residential housing, and small to large buildings. These concepts can be quickly and cost-effectively implemented to provide free, clean, and unlimited solar electricity to consumers as a replacement to fossil fuels.: have a vision to create a 200-mile solar -powered light -rail train community transportation i system with bicycle and pedestrian pathways from Marco Island to Tampa. There will be 200 :transit stations spaced one mile apart and every station will have parking for 100 vehicles with 2000 solar panels on the parking structure roofs. Each panel will generate $50+ annually x 2000 panels = $100,000 x 200 stations = $20 million each year in free and clean electricity. The cost to construct this solar -powered light -rail system with bicycle and pedestrian pathways would be $25 million a mile x 200 miles = $5 billion. This is the same estimated cost to build a 200-mile freeway, such as the state legislature proposed toll road in 2021 to connect Naples to Orlando. Developing these solar and power storage concepts will provide alternatives to costly and dirty fossil fuels by creating an improved infrastructure design with the capability of recharging the power storage batteries used in housing, buildings, trains, and vehicles at no cost to consumers. Florida has shown its desire to provide funding to improve the transportation infrastructures in our state, and it is a priority of the government to encourage building more affordable housing. Sustainable and affordable housing should be constructed near this transit system in smaller residential units in homes, condos, and apartments, etc. at 400-1200 sq. ft. for each unit. We will seek the support of large private transportation and development groups to assist us in constructing this project. The State of Florida could provide most of the $5 billion funding to build this innovative transportation project, and there are numerous state and federal grants available that could provide startup funding for creating thousands of affordable housing units. Tesla Inc. is one of the few companies in the world that has the capability to manufacture and supply the necessary renewable energy equipment that is needed for the creation of this new transportation and affordable housing project. Tesla vehicles would be utilized in a car -share program with 10-20 vehicles at each station to rent by the hour, day, week, or month, and they will be recharged from solar power at the stations. We have requested that Tesla support the development of our renewable energy proposals and provide the equipment and vehicles for this project. Their direct involvement could provide _$_1 billion in sales to Tesla over ten years. This effort will not require any financial assistance from Tes-- Inc. What we need from their: company is technical support and selling their electric vehicles, solar panels, solar roof tiles, residential battery power storage, and industrial power storage for the transit stations. Possibly Tesla, Inc. would also consider manufacturing the solar -powered electric trains, and they would benefit significantly from their association with this project and by helping Florida become a new national and global leader in the development and implementation of renewable energy. Tesla has the credibility needed to effectively launch this solar transportation and affordable; housing project and their involvement will quickly set everything into motion in state, county, --------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------•-- and city governments. We will also create a bike -share system with 20 bikes at each station.: ...................................................................................................................---------------.., 1: Collier MPO 471Page Page 211 of 241 Increasing electric utility and vehicle fuel costs, rising rental rates, and the escalating cost to purchase homes and condos, with mortgages near 806, have made it difficult for most people in Florida to find a quality and affordable place to live. With the tremendous demand for homes, condos, and apartments, limited supply, and rising population growth throughout Florida, we must immediately begin reinventing our housing and transportation infrastructures to create more livable communities. Constructing affordable housing units near the light -rail train line will provide conveniently located apartments, condos, and homes close to this transit system with attractive park -like bike and pedestrian pathways. I am familiar with the homebuilding process because I work for Kaye Lifestyle Homes, which builds custom homes from $300 K to $ 5 million. It has been reported that Collier and Lee County are planning on spending $4 billion during the next 20-25 years to improve the roadways in our communities to accommodate more vehicles and reduce traffic congestion. I am proposing that we should also spend $4 billion on reducing vehicle dependence and improving the lives of our citizens by constructing an alternative to passenger vehicles. An example is creating a 160-mile grid system of small solar -powered light - rail community trains with bicycle and pedestrian pathways in Collier and Lee County. We can start with reconditioned vintage trolleys or use tram -style cars with a rear car just for bicycles. There would be 160 transit stations spaced roughly one mile apart with car and bike -share. Two main routes would travel north and south, and 8-9 would go east and west along major roadways, and they would all be interconnected. Bicycle and pedestrian pathways would be created along both sides of the tracks in a park -like setting. The cost would be $25 million a mile x 160 miles = $4 billion. This transportation project will make our communities infinitely more livable, enjoyable, and healthier. It will help reduce the cost of living for numerous people by providing easier, faster, and less expensive alternatives to driving vehicles everywhere that we need to go. It would also make our local communities significantly more bicycle and pedestrian - friendly for our residents, snowbirds, and the millions of tourists who visit SW Florida annually. In addition, one north and south light -rail line should be created from Marco Island to Tampa, which would be 200 miles x $25 million a mile = $5 billion. In March 2019, 1 contacted Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the FDOT and requested that they provide funding to create this 200-mile light -rail train regional community train transit system for Southwest Florida, and we can start the construction in Collier and Lee County. Governor DeSantis forwarded my proposals to the FDOT, and they suggested that I contact our city and county governments for support. The 1-75 freeway in Florida was originally designed for the future addition of trains between the north and south lanes, and it makes sense to start constructing this community light -rail train system on this established route. I propose constructing the first 20-mile section of the rail line in the middle of 1-75 starting at Golden Gate Parkway and ending at Corkscrew Road. It will take less time and cost to build this project by utilizing the existing freeway route and this will provide the least traffic disruptions. This is a better choice as compared to a proposed ten-year plan to widen the 1-75 freeway for the same 20-mile section from six to eight lanes. The cost to taxpayers would be similar for both projects at $25 million a mile x 20 miles = $500 million. Collier MPO 481Page Page 212 of 241 My letter to Governor DeSantis in 2022, proposed the construction of a 50-mile community light -rail train system from Marco Island to Southwest Florida International Airport. It would go along Collier Blvd. to Highway 41 and continue north on 41 to downtown Naples. It would then go north along Goodlette-Frank Rd. and connect to the abandoned Amtrak railroad tracks north of Immokalee Road at Wiggens Pass Road. It would travel through North Naples, Bonita Springs, and Estero on the track right-of-way. At Estero Parkway, it would turn east and go over 1-75 to reach Hertz Arena at Ben Hill Griffin Rd. It would then go north to Florida Gulf Coast University, Gulf Coast Mall, SW Florida Int. Airport, and JetBlue Park in Fort Myers. Another good route is Marco Island to the airport, primarily along Collier Boulevard, and it could continue north from the airport an additional 20 miles to connect with the Solar City of the Future Babcock Ranch. The five PDF attachments below can be provided regarding the state and national energy proposals I have developed during the last 20 years. I recently contacted Tesla Inc. and requested that they become involved in this project by providing their technology expertise and their solar and residential/industrial battery power storage equipment, etc. Developing this sustainable energy project also will attract numerous new businesses to Southwest Florida.

I would like to include it in future transportation planning for Florida. d regards, rick Post i-738-0115 1■ ■ ■ ■n 11IlI: ■ ■■ ■ NAPLES FLORIDA ELEVATED 10-MILE LOOP SOLAR -POWERED COMMUNITY TRANSIT SYSTEM Written by Patrick Post 08/22/24 I propose creating an elevated 10-mite-long Loop solar -powered light -rail community transit system in Naples, Florida. It would resemble the new Railbus, Inc. concept promoted globally from Dubai, UAE. The Naples transit system will start near the new Ritz -Carlton Residences Naples, now under construction on the corner of Gulf Shore Drive and Vanderbilt Beach Road. The lightweight tram cars, which will hold 20-40 passengers, will travel east and west along Vanderbilt Beach Road and Immokalee Road, and north and south along Gulf Shore Drive and Airport -Pulling Road. Since the tracks would be elevated, the train cars would not need to stop due to traffic congestion. This transit system will easily, quickly, and efficiently move thousands of people each day around a five -Square -mile area in North Naples. This area is home to two Ritz -Carlton Hotels, The LaPlaya Beach Hotel, Vanderbilt Beach, Wiggins Pass State Park, Veterans Park, and LaPlaya and Tiburon Golf Clubs. Along the rail route are: Naples Community Hospital, Arthrex Corp. Offices, several schools, Mercato Shopping Mall, PaviLLion Shoppes, Riverchase Shopping Center, Granada Shoppes, and Galleria Shoppes at Vanderbilt, etc. In addition, there are many high-rise condos, housing developments, and apartment buildings, as well as numerous restaurants, retail shops, medical facilities, and professional businesses, all within a short walk of the rail line. This system is needed and will help make Naples a world -class city, which will attract tourists and new businesses that want to be a part of our community.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. I am a 36 year resident of East Naples. A member of Collier MPO CAC for over 20 years now. When I started there was no transit system, no multi -use pathways, sidewalks were lacking, and many roadways were two lanes with four-way stops. Collier has experienced non-stop growth for many years. During all the years of Collier County growth the MPO transportation planning process has been a needed source of funding Collier's transportation needs. The Collier MPO Director Anne McLaughlin is one of the best of the best. Anne along with her knowledgeable staff have been updating Collier MPO plans and programs. The Collier MPO website is great and easy to use for the pubic to access information. The public can easily be involved with the MPO. My compliments to the Collier MPO Director and her staff.

Status of Previous Certification Findings The following is a summary of the previous corrective actions and recommendations made by the Federal Review Team to the Collier MPO. The MPO's last certification review report was published in 2020. A. Corrective Actions Long Range Transportation Plan - Financial Plan/Fiscal Constraint: The Collier MPO's 2040 LRTP provides the often -complex financial information in an easy to read format and infographics for the public and its partners over a 25- year period from 2015 - 2040. However, while a comparison of the Plan revenue sources and costs was included in the Cost Feasible Plan to demonstrate the fiscal constraint of the Plan, it did not include the first 5 years of the Plan and therefore does not demonstrate full fiscal constraint of the Plan. In accordance with 23 CFR 450.324(f)(11) and discussed in the November 2012 FHWA/FTA LRTP development expectations letter, the LRTP must include projects and funding for the entire timeframe covered by the LRTP, from the base year to the horizon year. Because this information is missing from the financial infographics and tables, fiscal constraint of the plan could not be determined. Revisions to the LRTP must be made to include this information to clearly demonstrate fiscal constraint for the entire Plan either with the 2045 LRTP adoption by December 11, 2020, or as part of the next 2045 LRTP amendment. The Collier MPO addressed the Corrective Action before the final Certification Report was published and no further action is needed. Update: N/A. B. Recommendations Interested Parties — Outreach and Public Participation: Florida MPOs are increasingly savvier in collecting and analyzing community characteristics data, and Collier MPO is no exception. The MPO has access to multiple data sources, not the least of which is a powerful GIS tool developed by the County for land use projections. However, as sources, types, and size of data increase, so does the risk of duplicating efforts and perhaps worse, capturing data that will not be used. For example, despite the use of the same data sources, the MPO and the transit provider produce different mapping products. Further, though the MPO collected zip code data from its advisor network as part of a recent survey, it has yet to determine whether the unprecedented number of responses were representative of area demographics. The Federal Review Team recommends the MPO consider a single mapping tool with layering that will serve transit and other planning needs. The Review Team also suggests that any public involvement data collected be timely reviewed for equity and nondiscrimination and to help identify the need for outreach improvements, if any. Collier MPO 521Page Page 216 of 241 Update: With the signing of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the new Environmental Justice40 initiative, the mapping tools and criteria diverged to an extent that the Collier MPO did not try to consolidate the analysis. However, the Collier MPO developed and uses the EJ Communities 2019 Map as it appears in the MPO's PPP. Additionally, the MPO staff produced in-house 2023 map using CEQ — Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool released Nov 2022. The MPO has been tracking zip codes of respondents to on-line and social media surveys in addition to conducting in -person outreach at special events located in EJ communities and outreach to organizations that serve EJ communities to reach as diverse a population as possible. 2. Long Range Transportation Plan — Scope of the LRTP: The Federal Review Team recommends that the MPO more thoroughly document within the LRTP its consultation activities with Federal and State Land Management Agencies; Natural Resources; Environmental Protection; Conservation; and Historic Preservation, and other "interested parties" as referenced in 23 CFR 450.318, 320, 324(f)(10), 324(g)) Update: The 2045 LRTP documentation consultation activities are referenced in Chapter 2 — Plan Process and in the LRTP's Public Information Summary Report in the Technical Compendium. The PPP states the MPO coordinates and consults with State and Federal Land Management. Environmental mitigation for projects is completed through a partnership between the Collier MPO, its member jurisdictions, FDOT, state and federal environmental resource and regulatory agencies, and environmental preservation organizations.
