29 PASCO COUNTY METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION 2014 LIST OF PRIORITY PROJECTS SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 PROJECT SELECTION AND PRIORITIZATION PROCESS OVERVIEW HIGHWAY PROJECTS: The project selection and prioritization process used by the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) begins with the identification of transportation needs by all modes based on the currently adopted Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The transportation projects in the MPO s "Needs" plan are prioritized to facilitate the development of the Cost Affordable Plan. The transition from the "Needs" Plan to the Cost Affordable Plan, in a priority order, is determined by applying a number of criteria including: Level of service and traffic data analysis Discussion among planning and engineering staff regarding the results of technical evaluations and analysis (Level of Service, traffic volumes, etc.) Application of the quantitative roadway project prioritization criteria (project status, benefit/cost analysis, existing volume over capacity, Future volume over capacity (v/c), emergency evacuation route, truck route, etc.) Project priorities are reviewed for input by: Public input at large and through the MPO's Technical Advisory Committee, Citizens Advisory Committee, Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee, and at MPO Board meetings Local governments Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) The final List of Priority Projects is adopted and updated, if necessary, by the MPO Board on an annual basis. INTERSECTION PROJECTS: The criteria for prioritizing new intersection projects include, but are not limited to, projected congestion in five years (congestion is estimated by dividing approach volumes by the number of approach lanes), total crashes for the past three years, significance in supporting regional mobility, and the availability of right-of-way for future capacity expansion. wpdata/mpo/tip_listpriorityprojects_ /11/14 Pasco County MPO Final

30 PASCO COUNTY METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION 2014 LIST OF PRIORITY PROJECTS SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 Please refer to "Executive Summary" in the currently adopted Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to view a more detailed description of the Project Selection Process as well as Project Prioritization process/procedures utilized or employed by the MPO. NON-HIGHWAY PROJECTS: TRANSIT The process for prioritizing transit projects draws upon the most recently adopted Transit Development Plan adopted in 2013 with close coordination with the Pasco County Public Transportation (PCPT) Department. TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES (INCLUDING SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL [SRTS]): Sidewalks/Trails (Local) The criteria for prioritizing new local sidewalks/trails include, but are not limited to: Safety (posted speeds along the adjacent roadway, addressing perceived safety concern); Connectivity/Continuity (connecting to an existing sidewalk/trail, filling a missing gap); Accessibility (to schools, transit stops, connecting to adjacent and/or compatible land uses); Provide Accessibility and improved mobility to low income and/or minority populations; and identification of the project on local and regional plans. SRTS projects were prioritized chronologically as they were identified and submitted to the MPO for consideration. For a detailed assessment of specific projects, please contact the MPO. Trails (Regional) Regional trail projects were identified through the efforts of the MPO Chairs Coordinating Committee, Regional Multiuse Trail Committee that includes the West Central Florida MPOs (Pasco, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Hernando, Citrus, Sarasota/Manatee, and Polk). The criteria used to develop and rank regional multiuse trails considered regional and local connectivity (to the existing trails, inter-county connectivity, or connectivity to an existing bicycle/pedestrian network), connectivity to regional attractions (regional parks/recreational facilities, educational institutions, malls/shopping districts, intermodal transportation/transit centers, recognized preserve areas, proximity to water bodies, entertainment/sports/historic districts), status of completed development phase (Planning, Development and Environmental [PD&E]), design, rights-of-way acquisition, and project identification on the Office of Greenways and Trails and/or the National Trails System Guide. wpdata/mpo/tip_listpriorityprojects_ /11/14 Pasco County MPO Final

66 This project is a Pasco County MPO sponsored planning study to investigate alternative alignments and identify a preferred route for a multiuse bicycle/pedestrian trail segment to connect to the future extension of the Pinellas Trail that current ends north of the Anclote River in Tarpon Springs, to Pasco County s Anclote Gulf Park, Anclote River Park and Key Vista Nature Park. This trail connection would provide a valuable asset to southwest Pasco County and the local community by offering a safe bicycle and pedestrian trail linking schools, homes, and parks and recreation amenities in this coastal environment. In addition, the concept is: Consistent with the Pasco County Greenways, Trails, and Blueways (GTB) plan Pasco County s MPO Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), and Provides access to the Pinellas Trail, which includes over 42 miles of multiuse trail with access to Clearwater and St Petersburg. The public will be invited to participate in the study and will have the opportunity to provide input in a series of meetings, the first of which is tentatively scheduled for October 21 or 22, 2014 and another one in January Exact dates, times and locations are yet to be determined and will be published via the Pasco County MPO website ( The study is anticipated to be completed by the end of the April The final study report will include a recommended trail alignment, supporting graphics to show trail character and potential trail amenities.
