13. 13
What is SEFTC?
The Southeast Florida Transportation
Council (SEFTC) is a formal partnership
of the three MPOs all within the U.S.
Census designated Miami Urbanized
Area.
14. 14
Functions of SEFTC
SEFTC serves as a forum for policy coordination and undertakes
regional planning efforts including:
๏งApproval of the regional network map
๏งPrioritizing transportation projects in the Miami urbanized area
for the Transportation Regional Incentive Program, TRIP
๏งA regional public involvement process
๏งRegional Long Range Transportation Plan
15. 15
2045 RTP VISION
Create a shared regional transportation
document that identifies regional needs, funding
and policies that serve and benefit the entire
Southeast Florida region.
16. 16
Important questions
1. How do we move a growing population?
2. How should we spend our limited transportation
dollars?
3. Is infrastructure alone enough to move the needle, or
do we need to think about land use, too?
4. Can we pay for regional transit through existing
sources? What would it take to make that happen?
5. What about new revenue sources?

We have structured this RTP to ask big questions, and find bigger answers. With limited land and limited financial resources, we need to use what do have in the most efficient way.
Currently, Broward is built-out. Miami is approaching build-out but keeps encroaching on conservation land, and Palm Beach has historical neighborhoods which cannot support road expansion without destroying buildings. In order to move our growing population
Let them know what we have done since February
Remind SEFTC of the Goals and Objectives that were adopted earlier on in the process
Barriers/Issues to achieving our goals slide:
Population will grow by 30%
7.5 million people by 2045
1,000 people/week moving here
Nearly 1 million more jobs
Increased congestion and SOV trips
Transit has been the high priority for this urban region, but only 14% of funded projects were transit. There is a disconnect in how our funds may be used versus what we need.
The way we have developed our land and connecting roadway network does not promote transit usage. If we continue with this trend only:
5% of population can walk to access high capacity transit
10% of jobs are walkable from high capacity transit
Conclusions:
It is not sustainable to continue focusing a majority of our investment dollars on auto-capacity related projects.We must think differently to be an economically strong, healthy, mobile, and safe region.
We need to integrate a premium transit system into our future.
From a technical standpoint โ hereโs how we did it:
Remind SEFTC of the Scenario Planning effort and that it was the MAIN FEATURE of this RTP. Transition to the following slides for data and performance backup
In order to answer these questions, we used data and analysis.
The blue is our trend: what would happen if we continued on the same transportation/transit system and land use.
The orange explores how our future residents would move around with a robust regional and local transit system.
The yellow is the same transit system as orange, but with transit supportive (dense) land use.
We can provide mobility options.
Trend (blue): minimal access to transit and jobs without the use of a car.
Regional Transit (orange): By providing more transit, more people have access to transit, and that transit has more access to jobs.
Alt Growth (yellow): By creating denser housing, even more people have access to transit and jobs. 50% of south Florida's jobs would be able to be accessed by transit.
Also, the model used to evaluate these scenarios heavily favors vehicles and it still showed positive changes for other modes. A STOPS model would be a more accurate gauge.
THE ROLE OF THE 2045 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANโS TECHNICAL COMMITTEES AND COUNCIL DURING THE COST FEASIBLE PLAN DEVELOPMENT STAGE IS TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY AND CONSISTENCY ACROSS THE INDIVIDUAL MPOSโ COST FEASIBLE PLANS AND TO MODEL THEM TO DETERMINE THE COLLECTIVE SYSTEMโS PERFORMANCE.
Transit route miles signi๏ฌcantly increased as a region, with Miami-Dade County anticipated to increase the most. Due to the recent Broward County sales surtax approval, it is expected that Browardโs transit network will increase more than indicated in the 2045 MTP.
We are almost at the bullseye
Transition to saying that the policies only further support efforts we have already been doing for years โ includingโฆ
We have a solid foundation and consensus to take the next big leapโฆ.
Remind them about the policies:
The first step is creating policies that lay the foundation needed to accomplish our goal.
As the most urbanized area in Florida, we will need to lead the way for others.
Topics identified for new policies, which are ALL needed to be successful
Reference the agenda backup details and ask for feedback/discussion
Policy Topic Areas and Supporting Statements for SEFTC review:
Regional transit is a primary long-term mobility objective
A regionally connected high-capacity transit system fundamentally changes Southeast Floridaโs mobility outlook. It is needed to move the amount of people we are anticipating.
There will always be demand for auto travel and associated congestion but implementing a high-capacity transit system provides Southeast Floridians with viable options.
Complementary land use is essential
A major high-capacity transit investment in the region will not be successful without complementary land uses.
A majority of new development should occur around existing and future high-capacity transit routes.
Complementary land uses also makes short walk/bike trips possible and further reduces the need for motorized transportation.
Shifting existing highway resources to transit is necessary
The current State funding programs are too restrictive and do not allow for implementing transit investments in the manner needed to serve our rapidly growing urbanized area.
Greater flexibility is needed with existing state highway funding sources so that it may also be used to fund transit investments.
Each dollar spent on transit will have greater impact on moving people than each dollar spent on highways.
We must continue to operate and maintain our highway system.
New revenue sources are necessary
Our current revenue projections indicate we will not cover have enough funding to cover the cost of building, operating and maintaining the desired regional high-capacity transit system.
We will need to seek additional funding sources at all levels (Federal, State, County and Local) to build and operate the regional high-capacity transit system.
