Agenda 03/25/2025 Item #16B 3 (Authorize the electronic submission to fund the design of the widening of Pine Ridge Road from Logan Boulevard to Collier Boulevard project)3/25/2025
Item # 16.B.3
ID# 2025-552
Executive Summary
Recommendation to authorize the electronic submission of the County Incentive Grant Program (CIGP) and the
Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) Applications with the Florida Department of Transportation to fund
the design of the widening of Pine Ridge Road from Logan Boulevard to Collier Boulevard project in the amount of
$5,800,000.
OBJECTIVE: To provide the design for a widened segment of Pine Ridge Road from Logan Boulevard to Collier
Boulevard that will optimize traffic flow, reduce delays, and improve the roadway network.
CONSIDERATIONS: On December 2, 2024, Collier County was informed that FDOT was requesting projects for both
County Incentive Grant Program (CIGP) and Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) priorities for fiscal
year 2030/2031. Both project applications must be submitted no later than March 31, 2025, for consideration for CIGP
and TRIP funding. CIGP funds are awarded to projects that relieve congestion on the State Highway System and are
consistent with established plans in the area. TRIP funds are awarded to local government projects that improve
regionally significant transportation facilities.
Collier County is planning to widen Pine Ridge Road from Logan Boulevard east to Collier Boulevard. This will
improve a two-mile segment that will be expanded from a 4-lane facility to a 6-lane divided arterial roadway. There are
currently pedestrian and bicycle facilities at each intersection but there are no facilities to connect the two intersections.
This connection will be completed to create a pedestrian and bicycle network. This project is eligible for both CIGP and
TRIP funds. The project is located approximately 1 mile east of I-75. Within Collier County, Pine Ridge Road is one of
four east-west roads that provides access to I-75 for regional connectivity to Lee County. Pine Ridge Road also provides
a direct connection to Logan Boulevard, which is a parallel facility to I-75 and provides regional connectivity to Lee
County.
An improved roadway network is not only needed for commuting purposes, but also critical to improve access for
emergency first responders who rely on efficient, accessible roadways to reach hospitals, fire departments, and other
critical locations. The additional capacity provided by the improvements will provide for a more efficient connection
between many community resources, including existing neighborhoods, churches, a hospital, and commercial
businesses. Further, the project will provide for the efficient movement of people, goods, and services, as well as
improve the multimodal connections inside the County’s urbanized area. This facility will improve travel reliability by
decreasing travel times, reducing vehicle miles traveled, reducing congestion, and reducing emissions from idling
vehicles. There will also be a reduced need for road maintenance, as reduced vehicle miles traveled on the roads means
lowering road maintenance, operational, and improvement costs to the parallel facilities.
The project is listed in the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan
(LRTP) Cost Feasible Plan. The design is currently in the County’s Work Program for FY2030-2035. The Work
Program is tied to the County’s Capital Improvement Element (CIE), which will be amended or updated as necessary,
should this project be awarded CIGP or TRIP funds. The project will meet all applicable federal, state, and local
requirements, including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
Approval of this item will authorize the County Manager (or designee) to sign and electronically submit all required
documents.
This item is consistent with the Collier County strategic plan objective to design and maintain an effective transportation
system to reduce traffic congestion and improve the mobility of our residents and visitors
FISCAL IMPACT: The projected design phase costs are estimated at $5,800,000. The project is currently in the
County’s FY2030/2035 Capital Work Program. The total grant amount requested is up to $2,900,000 which is the
maximum award amount. The $2,900,000 grant request equates to 50% of the project design phase costs. If awarded,
Collier County would provide a local match of 50% of the total project costs from the following sources: impact fees,
gas taxes and/or general fund revenues. Budget amendments will be presented to the Board for approval upon receiving
the grant award.

2. Complete description of the project, including a location map.
Pine Ridge Road (CR896) is a major east/west arterial corridor from U.S. 41 to Collier
Boulevard and serves the urban, coastal, and rural Collier County areas. East of Collier
Boulevard, Pine Ridge Road turns into White Boulevard and serves as a major collector in the
rural estates. Pine Ridge Road provides a direct connection to one of four I-75 interchanges
within the urban area. High peak period traffic volumes experience delays along the entire
length of the corridor. Figures 1 and 2 present the Regional and Project Location Maps,
respectively.

PINE RIDGE ROAD - LOGAN BOULEVARD TO COLLIER BOULEVARD
Page 2 of 7
Pine Ridge Road from Logan Boulevard to Collier Boulevard is a four-lane divided roadway
with 12-foot lanes and a 22-foot raised median. The intersections of Logan Boulevard and
Collier Boulevard have seven-foot wide sidewalks on both the north and south sides of the
intersections; however, the sidewalks terminate when the road tapers to four lanes, resulting in
a gap in the pedestrian and bicycle network in the area.
This project will improve the two mile segment of Pine Ridge Road, between Logan Boulevard
and Collier Boulevard, and will increase capacity of the roadway from 4 to 6-lanes. The
expansion will also complete the pedestrian bicycle network parallel to the road by completing
the existing gap between the intersections of Logan Boulevard and Collier Boulevard. The
pedestrian facilities included in the project will improve multi-modal travel opportunities and
safety. The corridor is not currently served by Collier Area Transit (CAT). The project will
also assist with regional safety and evacuation as it is idendified as a regional evacuation route
by the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council.

3. Detailed description of how the project would reduce congestion on the State Highway
System (SHS).
The project is located approximately 2.8 miles east of the I-75 and Pine Ridge Road
interchange, and approximately 5 miles east of the US 41 and Pine Ridge Road intersection.
Pine Ridge Road is one of four east/west arterial roads that access an I-75 Interchange. Due to
its proximity to I-75 and US 41, it serves local commuter traffic by providing access to
roadways for regional travel, such as I-75, Logan Blvd., Livingston Rd., and US 41. This
project will reduce crashes which cause delays and improve traffic operations and the overall
transportation network in southwest Florida.
The east/west roadway network in Collier County serves regional trips with access to I-75, as
well as local commuter access to the urban and coastal road network. The overall increase in
residential population in Collier County, and particularly in the Estates has resulted in traffic
increases to access the SHS and to access the urban and coastal areas of the county. North/south
travel east of I-75 is limited to Logan Boulevard, Collier Boulevard, Wilson Boulevard,
Everglades Boulevard and Desoto Boulevard with the east/west roads such as Pine Ridge Road
providing connections to distribute vehicle trips to the north/south roads to provide access
throughout the Estates. Logan Boulevard is the only regional north/south connector to Lee
County located east of the interstate. This project provides east/west connectivity to the SHS
and allows for additional choices in local trips, commuter trips, and regional connections to
Page 1752 of 5415
COLLIER COUNTY CIGP FY 2030/31 APPLICATION
PINE RIDGE ROAD - LOGAN BOULEVARD TO COLLIER BOULEVARD
Page 4 of 7
the north and south, other than just I-75. This facility is a vital part of the transportation network
which provides relief to I-75 by creating a grid network.
These regional connections are essential for developing transportation strategies to address
congestion and improve mobility across the Southwest Florida Region. This project will
improve the current Level of Service (LOS) on Pine Ridge Road as well as add capacity for
the population increases and resultant additional trips from the Estates. It will also enhance
emergency response, evacuation routes, and access. The project will also enhance the system
of local roads and streets.
According to the Collier MPO’s Origin and Destination Report, dated December 9, 2022, the
project area is located in the Urban Estates subarea of the plan and includes a mix of retail
shopping centers, estate lot residences, and gated single-family residential communities. Work
location for the residences in the area results in evaluating high employment locations from
the destination perspective provide insight into the number of people working in Collier and
living in another county. Of the more than 55,000 trips that originate in the Urban Estates area,
more than 10,000 trips are regional and almost 2,000 trips result in longer trips out-of-region
trips. The study also found that more than 90,000 trips a day start in Collier County and end in
Lee County, indicating a strong travel connection between the two counties. As a vital
east/west connection to I-75 and US 41, Pine Ridge Road experiences many commuter trips
that are accessing the state highway network and provides access to alternatives for north/south
travel such as Logan Blvd, Collier Blvd, and Everglades Blvd which provides north/south
routes which alleviate trips that may otherwise use I-75 or US 41.
Collier County Traffic Data results from October 18, 2023, to October 4, 2024, show 838
crashes occurred within the project area. The crashes resulted in two fatalities, 168 injuries,
and 668 property damage crashes. The improvements to Pine Ridge Road will increase safety
in the corridor as well as connect the missing links for bicycle and pedestrian opportunities and
provide an alternative to vehicle travel.
The proposed project will improve multimodal connection inside the County’s urbanized area.
The corridor will relieve traffic congestion on the SHS and provide for the increased traffic
flow and efficient movement of people, goods, and services. The additional capacity will
provide for a more efficient connection between many local and regional assets including
existing neighborhoods, libraries, churches, a nearby hospital, and commercial businesses.
This facility will improve travel reliability by decreasing travel times, reducing vehicle miles
travel, and reducing traffic congestion. This project will also provide safety benefits to all
modes of transportation by creating bike lanes and sidewalks as well as reducing traffic
congestion. The project will complete the pedestrian and bicycle network as the project
currently has a gap in sidewalks between the intersections in the project area. The provision of
a consistent network of pedestrian and bicycle facilities will create better alternatives to cars
and encourage a mode shift. Reducing the number of cars on the road not only lowers road
maintenance, but it also constructs a safer intermodal transportation system. The addition of
more modal opportunities within the existing right-of-way (where possible) minimizes the
network lifecycle costs and contributes to improved regional development, improved air
quality and positive environmental and sustainable contributions to the future.

PINE RIDGE ROAD - LOGAN BOULEVARD TO COLLIER BOULEVARD
Page 5 of 7
Pine Ridge Road east of Logan Boulevard is not served by Collier Area Transit (CAT) bus
service, but north/south bus routes are located on both Logan Boulevard at the west end and
Collier Boulevard at the east end of the project. There are safety issues with the ‘last mile’
access to available transit since there is a lack of pedestrian and bicycle facilities on this road
segment. This project will close that gap and allow for multi-modal choices.
An improved roadway network is not only needed for commuting purposes, but also critical to
improve access for emergency responders including fire departments, medical services, and
law enforcement. The additional capacity provided by the improvements will provide for a
more efficient connection between many community and regional facilities including a
hospital, schools, neighborhoods and commercial businesses. This facility will improve travel
reliability by decreasing travel times, reducing vehicle miles traveled, reducing congestion,
and reducing emissions from idling vehicles. There will also be a reduced need for road
maintenance, as reduced vehicle miles traveled on the roads means less maintenance,
operations, and improvement costs to the parallel facilities.
Without State assistance, the County will be required to wait until enough local funding is
collected to fully fund the project.

pages if needed):
Pine Ridge Road is an east/west minor collector roadway from Logan Blvd. at the west to
Collier Blvd. (CR951) at the east. Pine Ridge Road is one of four east/west arterials that
provide access to both US 41 and I-75. This section of Pine Ridge Road is located
approximately one mile west of the I-75 interchange Exit 107 and distributes traffic to the
residential Estates area. The expansion of this section of Pine Ridge Road would relieve
congestion and allow for additional choice in distributing traffic volume associated with
commuter traffic. This road could alleviate local and commuter trips that may otherwise use
Immokalee Road or Golden Gate Parkway for access to Estates residential and commercial
properties. FDOT is currently advancing the Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) at Pine
Ridge Road and I-75 with Moving Florida Forward funds. The anticipated completion of the
DDI is mid-2027. This project will help to accommodate the future traffic volume growth
predicted to use the DDI by FDOT. It will also connect and continue the pedestrian and bicycle
accommodations constructed as part of the DDI.
Pine Ridge Road will be expanded from a 4-lane to a 6-lane facility. The project also completes
gaps in the pedestrian and bicycle network which was designated as a need in the MPO’s 2019
Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The provision of a consistent network of pedestrian and
bicycle facilities will create better alternatives to cars and encourage a mode shift. Reducing
the number of cars on the road not only lowers road maintenance, but it also constructs a safer
intermodal transportation system. The addition of more modal opportunities within the existing
right-of-way (where possible) minimizes the network lifecycle costs and contributes to improved
regional development, improved air quality and positive environmental and sustainable
contributions for the future. This project will provide safety benefits to all modes of
transportation by creating bike lanes and sidewalks and reducing traffic congestion.

This segment of Pine Ridge Road is included in the Collier Boulevard Mine Freight Activity
Center and the Freight Distribution Route in the Collier MPO’s 2045 LRTP.
The proposed project will improve the multimodal connection inside the County’s urbanized
area. The corridor will relieve traffic congestion on the State Highway System (SHS) and
provide for the increased traffic flow and efficient movement of people, goods, and services.
The additional capacity will provide for a more efficient connection between many local and
regional assets including existing neighborhoods, a library, churches, a nearby hospital, and
commercial businesses.
While not on the SHS, Pine Ridge Road is classified as a Minor Arterial on the Federal
Functional Classification map approved by FHWA on February 5, 2025, and listed on the FDOT
Federal Aid Mileage Report dated September 25, 2024. The referenced maps are included in
the supplemental documentation attached.
This facility will improve travel reliability by decreasing travel times, reducing vehicle miles
traveled, reducing congestion, and reducing emissions from idling vehicles. An improved
roadway network is not only needed for commuting purposes, but also critical to improve
access for emergency responders including fire departments, medical services, and law
enforcement. There will also be a reduced need for road maintenance, as reduced vehicle
miles traveled on the roads means less maintenance, operations, and improvement costs to
the parallel facilities.

Minimum Criteria:
1. Does the project support facilities that serve national, statewide or regional
functions and function as an integrated transportation system?
Yes ☒ No ☐ How?
Yes, the project will improve two miles of Pine Ridge Road and will improve the
east west transportation choice for travel within the region and enhance the
system of local roads and streets. The project is approximately 1 mile east of I-75
and the additional infrastructure improvement will add capacity, mobility options,
and improve operations along the corridor which will then alleviate congestion
and delay on major state and reginonal roads. Traffic along Pine Ridge Road is
expected to continue to grow and this project provides access to north south
routes including Logan Blvd. and Collier Blvd. to minimize the use of I-75 for
intra-county travel.
2. Is the project identified in the capital improvements element of a
comprehensive plan that has been determined to be in compliance with part II of
chapter 163, after July 1, 2005, or to implement a long-term concurrency
management system adopted by a local government; further the project shall be
Page 1783 of 5415
2
in compliance with local government comprehensive plan policies relative to
corridor management?
Yes ☒ No ☐ (Attach (CIE) Page)
3. Is the project consistent with the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS)?
Yes ☒ No ☐ How?
Yes. The proposed lane expansion will increase capacity in this corridor which provides access to
alternate north south routes to provide travel choice rather than relying on I-75. Pine Ridge Road
provides connectivity between US 41 and interstate interchange Exit 107 – Pine Ridge Road and
principal and minor arterials within Lee and Collier Counties. The expansion will add transportation
route choices for people, goods, and freight.
4. Is there a commitment of local, regional or private matching funds?
Yes ☒ No ☐
Prioritization Considerations
1. Is the project in compliance with local corridor management policies?
Yes ☒ No ☐ Describe
Yes, the capacity improvements adhere to the Collier County Access
Management Policy #13-257, which follows FDOT access management criteria.
2. Describe how this project implementation will manage growth.
The proposed project will improve the multimodal connection inside the County’s
urbanized area. The corridor will relieve traffic congestion on the State Highway System (SHS)
(US41 and I-75) and provide for the efficient movement of people, goods and services. The
additional capacity will provide for a more efficient connection between many community assets
including existing neighborhoods, schools, and commercial businesses.
3. Describe how the project will improve regional mobility within the Regional
Transportation Area.
The project will improve choices for travel within the region. Traffic on I-75 is expected to
continue to grow. This improvement will add capacity, mobility options and improve operations
on a facility that provides access to north/south routes other than I-75 . Improving efficiency and
effectiveness of the roadway network providing access to existing paralled facilities will enhance
mobility for the region.

The Collier MPO participates in Joint meetings with its regional partner – Lee County MPO. The
Lee County and Collier MPO jointly adopted a Regional Transportation Network, which is
included in the supplemental documentation. Please also reference the Collier-Lee Regional
Roadway Network Map, Adopted by each MPO in May 2017.
4. Describe why priority should be given to the project based on the following:
• Provides connectivity to the SIS,
• Supports economic development and goods movement in rural areas of
critical economic concern,
• Are subject to local ordinances that establish corridor management
techniques,
• Improve connectivity between military installations and the Strategic
Highway Network (STRAHNET) or the Strategic Rail Corridor Network
(STRACNET).
The project will provide additional capacity and better connectivity to I-75 and US41. This will
also provide economic development and goods movement between Lee and Collier counties and
the Southwest Florida region. The corridor falls under the Collier County Access Management
Policy #13-257. The County Policy closely follows FDOT’s access management criteria. There
are no STRAHNET routes or military installations within Collier County. This project does not
negatively impact or provide benefit directly to the STRAHNET or STRACNET.
5. How TRIP funding will accelerate the project’s implementation?
The design and right-of-way funding, as well as the construction funding of the project is in the County’s
planned budget for the FY2030-2035 period. TRIP funds received would provide the County with the
opportunity to expedite construction of this vital capacity improvement project.
6. Will the local government with jurisdiction adopt the FDOT level-of-service
standard?
Yes ☒ No ☐

Program Guidance for Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP)
Background
Pursuant to Section 339.2819, F.S., the 2005 Legislature created within the Department
a Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) for the purpose of providing funds
to improve regionally significant transportation facilities in regional transportation areas
created pursuant to s. 339.155(5).
Regionally significant transportation facilities include:
• Regional transportation corridors such as highway, waterway, rail, and regional
transit corridors that serve major regional commercial, industrial, or medical
facilities;
• Regional transportation hubs such as passenger terminals (examples include
commuter rail, light rail, intercity transit and intermodal transfer centers),
commercial service and major reliever airports, deepwater and special generator
seaports, and major regional freight terminals and distribution centers.
• All facilities on the SIS and Emerging SIS are regionally significant. Other
regionally significant facilities serve as an integral part of an interconnected
regional network.
The purpose of the TRIP is to provide an incentive for regional planning; to leverage
investments in regionally significant transportation facilities (roads and public
transportation); and link investments to growth management objectives. The intent for
the use of these funds is to generate additional capacity through growth in the
transportation program. All proposed projects will be evaluated in light of this policy. The
department shall allocate funding available for TRIP by statutory formula to the districts.
(Equal parts of population and motor fuel tax collections).
Local/Regional Funding Sources for TRIP Match
The percentage of state matching funds provided from the TRIP shall be matched on a
dollar for dollar basis by eligible funds or eligible in-kind sources as described below.
TRIP funds may be used to fund up to 50 percent of the non-federal share of the eligible
project cost for a public transportation facility project.
• Projects on the State Highway System: The District/MPO may use Federal
funds attributable to urbanized areas over 200,000 population (XU funds) or
Local funds for the required match.
• Projects off the State Highway System but on the Federal System: The
District/MPO may use Federal XU funds or Local funds for the required TRIP
match. If XU funds are used to match projects off the State Highway System, the
25% match required for XU must be provided by local funds. (e.g. $100 XU = $75
pure federal and $25 local)
Page 1786 of 5415
5
• Projects off the State Highway System and Federal System: Local funds
must be used for the required match.
• SIB Loans: Funds loaned from the State Infrastructure Bank may be used to
fund up to 25% of the required match for TRIP funds. Future repayments must be
made from Federal XU or Local funds.
• Public Transportation Projects: The match for TRIP must come from a local
funds. XU funds cannot be used as the local match. TRIP is intended for capital
expenses, not operational. TRIP funds cannot be used to purchase replacement
buses, but they can be used to add capacity and service to a regionally
significant route.
• Federal earmarks may not be used as a match.
In-Kind Match for TRIP
In-kind services are goods, commodities, or services received in lieu of cash payments.
(a) Goods and commodities should be valued based on their current market value in
accordance with generally accepted accounting standards as determined by the Office
of the Comptroller. The value for land donated should be determined in accordance with
guidelines established by the Office of Right of Way.
(b) The excess of an in kind match valued in excess of the required match will not
generally be applied towards another project. On a case by case basis, an exception
may be made for project segments in a regional corridor that are part of an
implementation plan for that corridor.
(c) In accepting in-kind matches for TRIP funds, the districts need to exercise caution in
distinguishing between the “funding” requirements and the “cash” requirements. For
example, there is a $10 million construction project for which a local government is
seeking TRIP funds. Normally the match split would be $5 million TRIP and $5 million
local. If a local government offers $4 million in right of way and $1 million in cash,
technically they have met the local match requirement. However, there is still a $4
million cash requirement that must be met through some source of funding in order to
pay the $10 million total. Districts will have to determine the source(s) for the remaining
$4 million cash requirement, taking into consideration such issues as whether the
project is on or off the Federal and/or State Highway System.
Right of Way Contributions and Acquisition Procedures
(a) Only those properties necessary for the qualified project itself are eligible for local
government matching contribution credit. Rights of way for prior projects are not eligible.
Page 1787 of 5415
6
(b) Projects with Federal funds: Rights of way must be/have been acquired in
accordance with the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policy Act (Uniform Act). 42 U.S.C. 4601, et sec., 49 CFR Part 24 and 23
CFR Part 710
(c) Projects without Federal Funds and on the State Highway System: Rights of way
must be/have been acquired in accordance with the laws and rules applicable to Florida
DOT. This includes providing relocation assistance to displaced persons in accordance
with
Rule Chapter 14-66, Florida Administrative Code.
(d) Projects without Federal Funds and off the State Highway System: Rights of way
acquired by the local government may be accepted for contribution credit regardless of
the acquisition method or procedures used. However, if the acquisition procedures do
not comply with the Uniform Act, this will preclude the use of Federal funds in the future.
Other Match Issues
(a) Private funds may be part of local matching funds required for a TRIP project.
(b) Rural Areas of Economic Concern may be eligible for a waiver of or reduction in the
required match for TRIP funds (see section 3.5 of the Work Program Instructions for
guidance on the Rural Economic Development Initiative). Only that portion of the project
that falls within the qualified Rural Area is eligible for the waiver.

Re: Request for Transportation Project Priorities for Fiscal Year 2030/2031
Dear Chairman McDaniel:
Each year the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) coordinates the
development of the Draft Tentative Five-Year Work Program with the
Metropolitan/Transportation Planning Organizations (MPO/TPO) within District One.
Project and scope development are essential in the process of accurately
programming projects with our partner agencies, therefore by way of this letter, it is
requested your agency begin the annual process of identifying projects for submission.
The Department requests that the following be submitted by the deadlines noted
below.
A preliminary list of priority projects March 31, 2025
Final approved list of priority projects June 30, 2025
Please submit Congestion Management (CMS) and Transportation Regional Incentive
Program (TRIP) applications to your District 1 liaison no later than March 31, 2025.
As a reminder, only Transportation Alternative (TA) applications are required to be
submitted through GAP. These applications are due by March 31, 2025.
District staff will review the information provided for completeness and funding eligibility.
Once all information and data has been received, staff will coordinate further evaluation
for constructability. A considerable amount of coordination is essential to developing an
Page 1789 of 5415
Chairman McDaniel
Page 2
accurate scope and cost estimate for each project and staff will closely communicate
with MPO/TPO staff, as well as local government contacts, throughout the process.
Chapter 339.175, Florida Statutes require MPO/TPOs to develop and submit an annual
list of priority projects based upon project selection criteria which considers the
Strategic Intermodal System (SIS), its connectors, other regionally significant facilities,
and the following:
1. An approved MPO/TPO Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP)
2. The Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Plan
3. Transportation management system procedures
4. MPO/TPO public involvement process
Generally, priorities will be considered for programming in Fiscal Year 2030/2031 unless
an opportunity arises to fund a project or project phase earlier. A final adopted/approved
list of priority projects must be submitted to FDOT by June 30, 2025, at which time
further consideration for programming and funding will be evaluated as the Draft
Tentative Five-Year Work Program is developed over the summer/fall time frame.
For modal programs, FDOT staff will contact transit, aviation, and port managers
directly to request submissions for new projects. While MPO/TPOs are not required to
prioritize modal program projects, it is important for modal agencies to share their
priorities and continue to coordinate with their MPO/TPO.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and participation in the FDOT Work Program
development process. For additional information regarding this program please contact:

Re: Request for County Incentive Grant Program (CIGP) Applications for Fiscal
Year 2030/2031
Dear Chairman Hall:
Each year the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) coordinates the
development of the Draft Five Year Work Program with all counties in District One,
which includes priority projects funded through the County Incentive Grant Program
(CIGP). Early submittal is necessary in order to allow sufficient time to evaluate
projects for eligibility and constructability. CIGP applications must be received no later
than March 31, 2025.
Chapter 339.2817, Florida Statutes, establishes funding to counties for improvements
on the State Highway System as well as local facilities, including transit, which can be
demonstrated to relieve congestion on the State Highway System. To be eligible for
CIGP funding, candidate projects must be consistent with the Florida Transportation
Plan, Local Government Comprehensive Plan, and the Long Range Transportation
Plan, where a Metropolitan/Transportation Planning Organization (MPO/TPO) is
established. A minimum 50% local match is required for projects funded through CIGP,
however counties designated as Rural Areas of Opportunity are eligible for a local
match waiver. Letters of application shall address the following:
1. Name and contact information of the applicant
2. Complete description of the project, including a location map
3. Detailed description of how the project would reduce congestion on the state
highway system
