The Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) is the designated and constituted
body responsible for the urban transportation planning and programming process for the Palm
Bay‐Melbourne‐Titusville Urbanized Area. The proposed use of Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) planning and research and Federal Transit
Administration funds must be documented in the TPOs Unified
Planning Work Program (UPWP) in accordance with federal law
(23 CFR 450.334(a)) and 23 CFR 450.308 (c) and Titles 23 and 49
of the Federal Transit Act for urbanized area with populations
over 50,000. This UPWP covers the period of July 1, 2014
through June 30, 2016 and includes a description of the work to
be accomplished and cost estimates for each activity.
The Space Coast TPO serves the citizens of Brevard County,
located in central Florida and is bordered on the north by
Volusia County, on the south by Indian River County, and on the west by Seminole, Orange, and
Osceola counties. Brevard’s eastern border is the Atlantic Ocean. According to the 2010 U.S.
Census the total population for Brevard County was 543,346. There are 16 incorporated
municipalities that the Space Coast TPO serves along with major modal agencies such as the
Melbourne International Airport, Space Florida, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Port Canaveral
and Patrick Air Force Base. According to the Space Coast Area Transit’s 2013‐2022 Transit
Development Plan, nearly 75 percent of Brevard’s households have at least two vehicles
available to them. With such a significant portion of the population with vehicles it is important
for the TPO to ensure that transportation planning is coordinated among all agencies in a
continuous, cooperative and comprehensive manner and serves all modes and needs. See Figure
1 for summary of demographic data.
In 2013 the Space Coast TPO’s Urbanized Area Boundary was revised and updated with 2010
Census data. The TPO serves two UAB’s, the Palm Bay‐Melbourne and Titusville urbanized areas.
Only minor adjustments were made with the Space Coast TPO continuing to serve all of Brevard
County.

Over the past few years, the Space Coast TPO has taken the initiative of looking at
transportation planning from a corridors and operational perspective. This approach is becoming
more evident as the way future transportation improvements will be evaluated. The cost to
widen roadways continues to increase, roadways are becoming more physically constrained due
to limited right‐of‐way, and revenue sources continue to decline. The use of the Complete
Streets concept has been embraced by the Space Coast TPO as one of the tools used to evaluate
constrained corridors. Many of the municipalities within the TPO’s planning area have adopted
complete street policies and in FY 13 the TPO completed its Complete Streets Evaluation
Methodology, Development and Project Screening planning study. The results are being used to
implement Complete Streets on six corridors. Feasibility Studies on three of the corridors will be
completed by the TPO during FY 15 with construction of all six projects to be conducted over FY
15 – FY 17.
The Space Coast TPO has also been coordinating with the Florida Department of Transportation
on a new Corridors Planning program. The TPO plans on looking at those corridors that did not
meet the Complete Streets criteria to be looked at from a broader approach. These studies are
more suited for higher volume roadways functioning as collectors. The first of these studies will
begin in FY 15.
In FY 13 the Space Coast TPO initiated the development of its 2040
Long Range Transportation Plan that is incorporating these new
planning concepts. The 2040 LRTP is unique and differs from previous
plans in that it is based on scenario planning from an economic
development approach and identifying corridors through typology,
meaning how various corridors function and how they should be
improved and/or developed in the future. More information on the
scope of work for the 2040 LRTP is included under Task 4.0.
Another tool that plays an important role in improvement of traffic flow and operations is the
use of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technology. The TPO has a history of supporting
this cost effective approach to alleviating congestion and in FY 14 initiated the development of a
comprehensive ITS Master Plan. As the TPO’s LRTP already calls for the use of ITS/operational
improvements on many corridors, this plan will help formalize which ITS tools should be
evaluated and potentially implemented throughout the county. The results of the ITS Master
Plan will be synchronized with the 2040 LRTP.
UPWP |FY 15 – FY 16 Page | 11 Amended 10‐9‐2014; 2‐12‐2015;3‐12‐2015; 5‐14‐2015; 7‐9‐2015; 10‐8‐2015 Modified 11‐18‐2014; 4‐7‐2015; 6‐22‐2015; 9‐15‐2015
In FY 14, an updated Bicycle and Pedestrian Mobility Plan was adopted. The plan evaluated all
corridors and trails throughout the county and provided a prioritized list of projects that will be
used to implement the most effective projects that moves the TPO into a comprehensive
connected system providing alternative modal choices of movement.
All of these projects and programs allow the TPO to meet its requirement for a coordinated,
comprehensive transportation planning for Brevard County. The TPO plans to continue looking
for new and innovative methods for improving the transportation network that will continue to
include Complete Streets, Corridor Planning, Intelligent Transportation Systems and
Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) activities.
The Space Coast TPO operates under the direction of a Strategic Plan, adopted annually, that
identifies Goals, Objectives and Strategies for the TPO to work toward (The adopted 2014‐15
Strategic Plan can be found in Appendix A). The goals lay the foundation for what the TPO is
working toward to achieve a comprehensive, multi‐modal transportation network and are based
upon adopted Long Range Planning goals. All work products listed in this UPWP will be used to
accomplish the TPO’s goals and provide a method for measuring the TPO’s success. Table 7
provides a matrix of how each task relates to the Goals and Objectives of the TPO’s Strategic
Plan.
Following are highlights from each of the work element sections reflecting previous noteworthy
achievements and the proposed work products to be produced in the next two fiscal years.

MAP‐21 Compliance and Planning Factors
On July 6, 2012, MAP‐21, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act was signed into
law. This law, which provides for the funding of surface transportation programs, replaced the
UPWP |FY 15 – FY 16 Page | 16 Amended 10‐9‐2014; 2‐12‐2015;3‐12‐2015; 5‐14‐2015; 7‐9‐2015; 10‐8‐2015 Modified 11‐18‐2014; 4‐7‐2015; 6‐22‐2015; 9‐15‐2015
previous law SAFETEA‐LU, which was adopted in 2005. MAP‐21 created a streamlined and
performance based transportation program and builds upon the programs and policies
established in 1991 that included focusing on highway, transit, bicycle and pedestrian modes of
travel.
The planning factors included as part of MAP‐21 are addressed throughout the UPWP in various
tasks. The TPO will work cooperatively with FHWA, FTA and FDOT to ensure all requirements of
MAP‐21 continue to be met. Table 6 reflects the relationship between the UPWP tasks and the
planning factors that are addressed.
Public Review/Title VI
For the development of the FY 14/15 – FY 15/16 UPWP, timely coordination and solicitation
from other agencies and the public were conducted. The draft UPWP was made available for
review and comment on March 14, 2014. A summary presentation on the proposed work
products to be developed over the next two years was given to the TPO Executive Committee on
March 21, 2014. The Technical and Citizens Advisory Committees on April 7 and to the TPO
Board on April 10, which was televised on the local Space Coast Government Television channel
were also provided a summary of work products included in the draft UPWP. Public comment
was offered at the TPO Executive Committee, TAC/CAC and TPO meetings, along with
notification on the TPO website. Draft copies of the UPWP were transmitted to the appropriate
agencies as listed in the FDOT Administrative Manual. Intermodal agencies were also sent copies
of the draft UPWP as is required as part of the Intergovernmental Coordination and Review
(ICAR) Agreement. Regional M/TPO’s were also sent copies of the draft.
Articles soliciting input were posted on the TPO website and included in the TPOs E‐News
electronic newsletter. Notice was also posted on the TPO Facebook page. All comments received
were addressed and revisions made where appropriate. (See Appendix E for a list of comments
and TPO responses).
In general, all agency plans and programs comply with the public involvement provisions of Title
VI which states: “No person in the United States shall, on grounds of race, color, or national
origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to
discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” All public
comments were solicited without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion,
disability or family status. The final UPWP was presented and approved by the TPO Board on
May 8, 2014.

Level of Planning Effort
The task projects outlined in this UPWP respond to Brevard County’s need for transportation
planning services that provide continuing, cooperative and comprehensive planning services.
The various UPWP tasks provide planning for all modes of travel: land, air, sea, rail and space.
The objectives of the various local government comprehensive plans are considered and
incorporated into the overall transportation system. Work products will be produced not only by
TPO staff but through consultant services and support from Brevard County, local governments,
FDOT, FHWA, FTA and other agencies.
Air Quality Planning
The Space Coast TPO is currently meeting ozone attainment readings. An analysis is conducted
annually as part of the State of the System report developed under task 5.2. Upon adoption of
any new criteria, the Space Coast TPO will comply with the changes as necessary. In the event
the Space Coast TPOs status changes to being in non‐attainment, for any reason, the UPWP will
be amended as appropriate to include changes to the development cycle of the LRTP,
Congestion Management System and other work products related to identifying new strategies
addressing air quality.
Planning Emphasis Areas
The FDOT has identified pedestrian safety as an emphasis area for 2014. Florida has been ranked
in the top five states in regards to pedestrian and bicyclist deaths over the past decade. TPO’s
have been asked to develop of further implement a Pedestrian Safety Action Plan in an effort to
help reduce bicycle and pedestrian crashes. The Space Coast TPO has a strong history of
supporting its Bicycle and Pedestrian program and will continue to do so in the future (see Tasks
7.0 and 7.1). As part of the annual State of the System Report (covered under Task 5.2) statistics
and trends on bicycle and pedestrian safety are included. As part of the TPO’s new Countywide
Safety Evaluation Report, initiated in FY 14, the TPO will be including safety statistics and trends
related specifically to bicycle and pedestrians. This annual report will be used as the process to
identify locations and potential behaviors that can be used to develop countermeasures
designed to eliminate them. Any education measures identified will be incorporated into the
bicycle and pedestrian safety education program. Other measures will be addressed as they are
identified. The following table represents the UPWP tasks that include and consider pedestrian
safety planning activities.

FHWA/FTA Planning Emphasis Areas
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) have
jointly issued Planning Emphasis Areas (PEAs) for Federal FY 2015. Following are the three
emphasis areas and how the Space Coast TPO is addressing them.
MAP‐21 Implementation – Transition to Performance Based Planning and Programming. The
Space Coast TPO has been working on transitioning its planning practices to a more performance
based planning program for the past few years. The TPO annually adopts a strategic plan that is
the foundation for the activities the TPO will be focusing on throughout the year. These activities
all tie into the adopted Long Range Plan Goals. With this approach to planning the TPO is able to
identify programs to be developed to meet those goals and has worked to implement projects
that track performance. The Long Range Plan provides the framework with activities such as the
annual Countywide Safety Evaluation Report and the annual State of the System Report that
document progress toward reaching established performance goals. The 2040 Long Range
Transportation Plan (to be adopted in 2015) will continue with this approach and will be
enhanced in those areas that can contribute to performance based planning and programming.
Models of Regional Planning Cooperation – Promote cooperation and coordination across
MPO boundaries and across State boundaries where appropriate to ensure a regional
approach to transportation planning. The Space Coast TPO already has an integrated planning
program that includes regional planning. Through partnerships with the Florida Department of
Transportation and membership on the Central Florida Alliance committee and statewide
Metropolitan Planning Organization Advisory Council (MPOAC), the Space Coast TPO will
continue to plan not only from a local perspective but from the larger regional and statewide
perspective. Current specific projects and activities include Coast to Coast Trail, East Central
Florida Regional Rail Trail, Future Corridors Pilot Project, Passenger Rail initiatives and other
large scale transportation planning.
Ladders of Opportunity – Access to essential services‐as part of the transportation planning
process, identify transportation connectivity gaps in access to essential services. The TPO has
already developed documents and programs that assist with identifying access to services and
consideration to those projects that fill in ‘gaps’. The adoption of the Complete Streets
Evaluation Methodology and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Mobility Plan, both mapped numerous
services and access to these. The FDOT has mapped bicycle and pedestrian facility gaps
throughout the roadway network and Space Coast Area Transit is completing an inventory of all
UPWP |FY 15 – FY 16 Page | 19 Amended 10‐9‐2014; 2‐12‐2015;3‐12‐2015; 5‐14‐2015; 7‐9‐2015; 10‐8‐2015 Modified 11‐18‐2014; 4‐7‐2015; 6‐22‐2015; 9‐15‐2015
of its bus stops with documentation of ADA accessibility. In FY 2015, the Space Coast TPO will
also update is Community Characteristics Inventory to assist with identifying where there are
gaps in the system in relation to various demographics located in close proximity of these
services.
As additional guidance is provided on these emphasis areas, the Space Coast TPO will coordinate
and adjust work tasks and products as appropriate to address them. The following table
represents the various UPWP tasks that include the FHWA/FTA planning emphasis areas.

Advisory Committees
The TPO has four standing advisory committees: Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), the
Citizens’ Advisory Committee (CAC), the Bicycle/Pedestrian and Trails Advisory Committee
(BPTAC), and the TPO Executive Committee.
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC): The TAC is comprised of twenty six members, primarily
planners, engineers and technical staff that represent various local governments and
transportation agencies within Brevard County. It is the responsibility of the TAC to review and
evaluate transportation‐related issues and make recommendations to the TPO Board on these
issues. The TAC conducts their meetings in conjunction with the CAC on the Monday prior to the
TPO Board meetings. TAC members are appointed by the municipality, office, department,
division, association, system, authority or board such member represents.
Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC): The CAC is made up of twenty four members that represent
a broad cross section of citizens interested in the development of an efficient, safe and cost‐
effective transportation system. The CAC members are appointed by the members of the TPO
Board and conduct their meetings in conjunction with the TAC.
Bicycle/Pedestrian and Trails Advisory Committee (BPTAC): The BPTAC is comprised of
nineteen members representing local law enforcement agencies, educators, engineers, local
UPWP |FY 15 – FY 16 Page | 23 Amended 10‐9‐2014; 2‐12‐2015;3‐12‐2015; 5‐14‐2015; 7‐9‐2015; 10‐8‐2015 Modified 11‐18‐2014; 4‐7‐2015; 6‐22‐2015; 9‐15‐2015
governments, bicycle retailers, realtors and avid cyclists, hikers and environmentalists. The
BPTAC addresses bicycle, pedestrian and trails planning and recommends policies to the TPO
Board regarding bicycle/pedestrian projects, and enhancement projects. Membership is open to
all interested citizens or representatives of specialized interest groups. The BPTAC meets bi‐
monthly or as needed.
TPO Executive Committee: The Executive Committee reviews in detail key transportation policy
and administrative issues of concern to the TPO. The Committee is comprised of the TPO
Chairman, Vice‐Chairman, Secretary and up to two at‐large TPO members. The Committee
evaluates transportation policies, procedures and programs in greater depth than can normally
occur at regular monthly TPO meetings. The intent is to insure the TPO is effectively addressing
the county’s critical transportation needs. The Committee is advisory and recommendations
formed by the Executive Committee are presented to the full TPO for consideration. The
Executive Committee meets on an as needed basis following regular scheduled TPO Board
meetings and all meetings are open to the public.
Supported Committee
The Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) is an independent board
supported by the Space Coast TPO. A TPO Board member serves as the Chairman of the TDLCB.
The purpose of the TDLCB is to evaluate the service levels, safety and other issues of transit
operations provided by Space Coast Area Transit serving the elderly, people with disabilities, or
otherwise disadvantaged citizens, such as those with low income in Brevard County.
B. Agreements
Planning and funding assistance is provided by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
Through an Interlocal Agreement, the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners provides
local matching funds for the FTA grant. Other federal agencies involved in the planning effort are
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
assistance provided by some of the above agencies is agreed upon through agreements. The
TPO has executed agreements with the state and local government and agencies to promote a
comprehensive, continuous, coordinated planning process. Contracts have been authorized by
the TPO to provide services in support of TPO operations. Current agreements include:

with each of the member governmental jurisdictions. This is a one‐time agreement that
establishes the responsibilities, authorities, membership and other necessary features of the
TPO. The First Amendment to the Interlocal was entered into on September 13, 2006 that
incorporated the TPOs approval of appointing alternate members and the shared seat
representing the City of Cape Canaveral and the City of Cocoa Beach. These two cities entered
into a separate agreement, similar to the South Beaches Coalition that was made a part of the
TPOs interlocal agreement. A Second Amendment was executed on October 28, 2008 to provide
for the legal name change of the Brevard MPO to the Space Coast TPO. At the time of the
development of this UPWP, an updated and revised Interlocal Agreement was being circulated
for approval by all local jurisdictions. The TPO Board approved the revised Interlocal at its April
10, 2014 meeting. It is anticipated that this updated agreement will be completed and recorded
by July 1, 2014.
Interlocal Agreement for Services with Brevard County – Executed August 26, 2010: Agreement

independent organization and defines the services to be provided the TPO by Brevard County
and to fix the compensation to the County for such services and to define the services to be
provided to the County by the TPO and to fix the compensation to the TPO for such services. A
First Amendment to the Interlocal was executed on August 23, 2011 to clarify audit
requirements are responsibility of the TPO and shall be done independently from Brevard
County audits. The Interlocal is effective until September 30, 2015; however a one‐time
extension may be executed for an additional five years. This agreement will be reviewed in 2015
to determine if an extension or new agreement is needed.
Joint Participation Agreement for Planning Funds – Executed May 13, 2010: Agreement
between FDOT and the Space Coast TPO which provides for the use of planning funds to be
‘passed through’ to the TPO to accomplish the work products identified in the UPWP. The JPA
also outlines certain administrative and program requirements that must be met to receive the
funds. The current JPA is effective for a term of five years. However, the JPA has recently been
revised by FDOT to incorporate MAP‐21 language and was approved by the TPO Board at their
May 8, 2014 meeting. Once all signatures are obtained and the agreement executed, the new
JPA will replace the current one, which is anticipated to occur by July 1, 2014. Over the past two
years the Space Coast TPO has also executed four (4) supplemental agreements to the PL for
specific projects. If necessary, these supplementals will be amended to reflect the new PL JPA.

Previous Achievements:
In FY 14, the TPO began an Annual Safety and Planning Program that encompasses many existing
tasks that are inter‐related under one program. The program consist of the collection of traffic
counts and the website maintenance of the counts, the maintenance of the web based crash data
location system, the new countywide safety evaluation report, all of which feed into the annual
State of the System Report. Beginning in FY 15 the TPO will be utilizing SU funds to cover the
expenses associated with conducting these program tasks on an annual basis. The Safety and State
of the System Reports are covered under Task 5.2, Management Operations, Safety and Security.
Annual collection of traffic volumes continued in both FY 13 and FY 14. Traffic volumes are used
extensively for many transportation planning projects that have included: Long Range
Transportation Plan; Bicycle and Pedestrian Mobility Plan; Complete Streets; and Feasibility Studies.
The counts are also used for the TPO’s annual roadway segment rankings used for project
prioritization. Counts are made available on‐line at the TPOs website through a web‐based program
provided by MS2 Midwestern. The service agreement for traffic counts with Peggy Malone &
Associates was renewed for an additional year in FY 14. MS2 Midwestern’s annual website
maintenance agreement is included under this task at an approximate cost of $5,500. In the
calendar year 2013 there were 1,756 unique visitors, a 36% increase from 2012. Annual traffic
count published in May.
Developed by the University of Florida, the TPO launched its own Crash Data Location web‐based
program in 2013. The TPO conducted targeted training classes for user groups. This new system
allows for greater use of crash data by being able to identify types of crashes, severity and causes
and to locate high crash locations.

$5,000 in management, administration of contract and post processing of data. Approximately
$20,000 to $30,000 is funded by Brevard County, in FY 15 $10,000 will be funded with FTA and the
remaining is funded utilizing the TPO’s SU funds as part of the Annual Performance Monitoring
Program. The current contract with Peggy Malone was renewed in September 2013 for one year.
TPO staff anticipates extending the contract for one additional year to 2015 at which time the TPO
will solicit for services through a Request for Proposals process. The annual traffic count website
hosted by Midwestern Solutions maintenance cost will also be funded with the TPO’s SU funds
beginning in FY 15 at approximately $5,800 annually.
TPO staff, in coordination with Brevard County Public Works, is sharing traffic data utilizing the County’s
Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS). The ATMS system has the potential to provide the TPO’s on‐
board general planning consultant the ability to collect traffic counts and data such as speed.
In FY 15, the TPO will prepare a work order for one of its general planning consultants to update its
Community Characteristics Inventory. The consultant will compile data from various sources
including the U.S. Census, Brevard County, and the American Community Survey and link them to
TAZ’s. The study will look at the ethnic diversity, economic viability, population, and transportation
needs of the community. Maps can then be created to identify different types of communities and
where they are located. The profile will be used to help ensure that transportation resources are
fairly allocated to benefit all segments of the population of Brevard County and will serve to support
the FHWA/FTA planning emphasis area. The estimated cost of this project is $93,768 and will be
funded utilizing the TPO’s SU funds. <Update: 9‐15‐15: This activity will be done utilizing existing
FDOT ETDM program and by existing TPO staff. SU funds are being re‐directed to fully fund
development of Interactive Trail Guide under task 6.0, already identified as a work product.>

Purpose: To prepare, develop and annually maintain a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
that includes the programs and projects, by phase, to be undertaken in the next five years and
adheres to the requirements of the federal highway transportation act, MAP‐21.
Previous Achievements:
The TPO annually solicits and compiles projects submitted by local modal agencies, County, and
local cities as part of the TPOs annual Project Priorities process. Projects are reviewed for cost
feasibility and then prioritized by the SCTPO Board before being submitted to FDOT to be
considered for funding and inclusion in the FDOT 5‐year work program. In 2013, Strategic
Intermodal System and space infrastructure projects were adopted by the TPO Governing Board in
July with non‐SIS and other modes project priorities being adopted in September.
Projects programmed in the TIP are made available through the TPO’s website maintained by Data
Transfer Solutions and FDOT. The TIP website enables staff to create custom reports and offer the
public 24 hour access to the latest list of projects programmed in Brevard County. TIP amendments
are processed as needed and are then updated to the website throughout the year. Projects for
which Federal funds have been obligated in the preceding year are included in the TIP publication.
One of the changes with the adoption of MAP‐21 is the consolidation of various programs into one
called “Transportation Alternatives”. This new program includes projects that were previously
known as Transportation Enhancements, Recreational Trails, Safe Routes to School, and Scenic
Byways. In FY 14 the TPO solicited these types of projects from multi‐modal agencies, the County,
and local municipalities to provide an updated list of projects. The TPO also developed a screening
and ranking criteria to prioritize these types of projects.
In FY 13 and FY 14 the TPO continued to work with Space Florida through a separate agreement to
assist with the development and prioritization of space infrastructure projects and to get them

programmed in the FDOT Work Program. The TPO has been very successful in this effort and in the
most recent year of the FDOT Work Program, FY 19 reflects $20 million programmed for space
infrastructure projects.
Over the past few years the TPO has also been utilizing its available SU funds to program and
implement new projects and studies such as Complete Streets and an Intelligent Transportation
Systems Master Plan. SU funds have also been used to assist with funding regional projects such as
the East Central Florida Regional Rail Trail and the St. Johns Heritage Parkway.
Methodology:
Each year the TPO will solicit from local modal agencies, the County, and local governments,
projects to consider as part of the prioritization process. TPO staff, in coordination with the Growth
Management Subcommittee, will review and prioritize these projects and make recommendations
to the TPO Board for consideration and approval. A public meeting to receive comments on these
proposed projects will also be held. In September of each year, the adopted project list will be
submitted to FDOT for funding consideration and programming in the FDOT Work Program and the
SCTPO’s TIP.
In FY 15, the TPO will begin developing an annual list of safety projects utilizing the web based crash
data location system. These projects will be reviewed and where there is need for improvement or
future analysis it may be submitted for consideration to be prioritized and funded in the TIP. Work
efforts and coordination activities for this are also covered under Tasks 1.4, 2.0 and 5.2.
As needed, TPO staff will continue to assist Space Florida on developing, prioritizing and submitting
their infrastructure projects to be included in the TPO project priorities and TIP.
Annually develop and adopt the TIP in July that adheres to all federal and state requirements.
Incorporate FDOT adopted Work Program and locally funded projects into TIP. Maintain and update
TIP with approved amendments and post on website and TIP interactive web application.
TPO will continue to provide input into FDOT Work Program and will attend annual Work Program
Public meeting.

Purpose: To develop, maintain and modify as required, the adopted TPO Cost Feasible Long Range
Transportation Plan in compliance with MAP‐21 planning requirements.
Previous Achievements:
The 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan development was initiated in December 2012. The plan is
being developed through use of the TPOs general planning consultant with the technical modeling
aspect in coordination with FDOT. Early phases of the development have included workshops with
the Technical and Citizens Advisory Committee’s and the TPO Governing Board to solicit input and
provide guidance on what concerns and issues should be considered and incorporated into a future
scenario and vision for the Space Coast. A statistically valid survey was conducted in the summer of
2013 to also solicit input from citizens.
A separate project specific website was established, www.spacecoast2040.com to promote the
development of the plan and to provide access to all available documents created throughout the
planning process.
Following the workshops and survey, the TPO conducted its first Transportation Symposium in
October of 2013 where representatives from all municipalities and transportation modes (All
Aboard Florida, a private railroad company; Space Coast Area Transit; Port Canaveral; and Space
Florida) presented what their unique challenges and visions were for the future. There were over 85
participants in this workshop. Compiling this information formed the foundation for the
development of four scenarios. Based upon an economic growth approach the four scenarios were
Current Trend, Port Centers, Connected Communities, and High Tech Lifestyle. Each scenario
included land use and transportation impacts. Land uses included urban growth, housing mix, job
mixes and sea level rise. Transportation impacts considered percentage of walkable communities in
relationship to housing and jobs, network miles impacted on roadways, transit and bicycle facilities.
Also energy and air quality issues were considered. In February, 2014 a Transportation Choices
Workshop was held with over 100 participants receiving information on these scenarios.

Participants were asked to provide feedback on what aspects of each scenario was most liked and
least liked. The results of the feedback will be used to define the final scenario and vision that will
guide the development of the cost feasible projects.
TPO staff and their consultant have coordinated with FDOT on input values to the Central Florida
Regional Planning Model and upon completion of the model validation will move forward in FY 15 to
completing future year data inputs. The base year for the 2040 LRTP is 2010.
Due to the fact that this LRTP is a new approach and involves scenario planning from an economic
growth approach and includes developing corridor typologies, the SCTPO requested and received
from FDOT supplemental funds to conduct the 2040 LRTP beginning in FY 14.
Methodology:
As a stated in 23 CFR 450.322(f) the final LRTP will address all required elements and will utilize the
guidance paper issued in November 2012, Federal Strategies for Implementing Requirements for
LRTP Update for the Florida MPOs. The major tasks to be completed include the development of
corridor typologies and strategic plans for each, corridor needs, the cost feasible list of projects with
the preferred network of improvements. The final document will incorporate all modes and
represent a ‘Metaplan’. This plan will tap into and integrate the main goals, objectives and projects
already identified in other plans such as Complete Streets, Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Mobility
Plan, Intelligent Transportation Systems Master Plan, Space Coast Area Transit’s Transit
Development Plan, Master Plans from airports, Space Florida and Port Canaveral. Transportation
Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) strategies will also be included in the plan’s
recommended actions. The goal is to have a fully integrated plan that will meet the needs and
accomplish the vision developed during the initial phases of the plan development. The Cost
Feasible 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan will be adopted by October, 2015. Figure 2 provides a
summary of the 2040 LRTP development schedule.
TPO staff and their general planning consultant will continue to coordinate with FDOT on data
inputs and review of the Central Florida Regional Planning Model (CFRPM). Future year (2040) land
use and zdata will be provided and reviewed. An Existing plus Committed (E+C) network of projects
will be developed along with a final cost feasible network.
Additional meetings and solicitation of public comment and input will continue until the adoption of
the 2040 LRTP. Outreach efforts will include use of the LRTP website, TPO Board and committee
meetings, postings on the TPO‘s Facebook site, and other public meetings and appropriate
techniques.

The fiscal analysis conducted at the time of developing the scope and cost of the 2040 LRTP was
based upon programmed funding amounts in the TIP at the time, the impacts of MAP‐21 were
unknown. In April of 2013, the SCTPO was made aware of the fiscal impacts to the annual allocation
of PL funds from MAP‐21 and new Census data that created two additional TMA’s in Florida. These
two elements along with a reduced population figure, reduced the SCTPO PL allocation by
approximately $100,000 annually. Although the SCTPO was able to absorb this impact for FY 14, it is
not able to sustain this lowered allocation into future years. In order to conserve PL funds to
maintain daily operations, the use of SU funds to complete the LRTP will be implemented for FY 15
and FY 16 with approximately $5,000 in FTA funding in FY 15.

Previous Achievements:
TPO staff continued their work efforts through a separate agreement with Space Florida in FY 13
and FY 14 to provide support in getting space infrastructure projects institutionalized in the FDOTs
planning process and annual work program. Space has been recognized as its own mode of
transportation, and is now funded in the FDOT work program. TPO staff has worked extensively with
Space Florida in reviewing grant applications, formalizing their project request as part of the TPO’s
annual project prioritization process. In FY 14 TPO staff assisted with the development of Space
Florida and Spaceport Master Plans.
In late FY 12 All Aboard Florida, a private enterprise, announced plans to provide non‐stop rail
service from Orlando to Miami. Their plans include improvements to their existing track such as
double and triple tracking, and the placement of gates and safety features. While currently there
are no plans to provide a stop in Brevard county, TPO staff will be monitoring this system for any
impacts on local transportation and safety concerns. The TPO continues to support a passenger rail
system between north and south Florida.
In FY 14 the TPO completed the development of its
Complete Streets Evaluation Methodology and
Project Screening project through its general
planning consultant, Kittelson and Associates. The
study was a three phase analysis (See Figure 3). The
first phase looked at various factors and criteria
from a countywide perspective which resulted in
identification of opportunity corridors where the
complete streets concept would be suitable. This

candidate corridors through conducting feasibility analysis on the corridors. The final phase was the
actual ranking and project selection of which there were six projects were recommended and
adopted for implementation. Figure 4 shows the final list of projects and implementation schedule.

In the Spring of 2014, TPO staff began feasibility studies (corridor analysis/design review) on Florida
Avenue, Hickory Street and Hopkins. The TPO’s consultant, Kittelson and Associates are conducting
the studies and are closely coordinating with the local municipalities and FDOT. The results will be
used to develop the scope for the design phase and the projects will then move into construction as
shown in Figure 4.
In FY 12, an update to the Regional Freight Study conducted by MetroPlan Orlando staff was
initiated. TPO staff attended associated meetings and presentations. The study which looked at the
impact and movement of freight, goods and services in the Central Florida region and identified
current and future needs along with recommended improvements to increase the efficiency and
effectiveness of freight movement. The final report will be used as a reference in the 2040 Long
Range Transportation Plan.

Methodology:
Coordination with Space Florida is anticipated to continue over the next year as the space industry
located at the Kennedy Space Center works to clarify its future role as not only a governmental
agency but also to open its facilities and resources to the private sector as the commercial space
industry continues to grow. With the success of institutionalizing space as its own mode of
transportation within the workings of the Florida Department of Transportation and its Work
Program in FY 15 the TPO will not need to renew its separate agreement with Space Florida. Support
will continue as part of the TPO’s regular support to local agencies and municipalities covered under
various tasks. TPO staff has successfully prepared and trained Space Florida staff on the annual
project prioritization process and submittal of projects to the FDOT.
Support and coordination of restoring passenger rail and freight services to Brevard and the
surrounding region will continue. Both regional and local coordination will continue. Current funding
in the work program of $150 million is available for construction of station locations in Titusville,
Cocoa and Melbourne. The TPO will enter into an agreement with Canaveral Port Authority in FY 15
to conduct a Rail Station Location Study to identify where to locate a passenger rail station in
Brevard County. All Aboard Florida has indicated they will follow‐up with a ridership study to
determine the station’s feasibility as part of their service running from Orlando to Miami. The study
will be funded by Canaveral Port Authority and the TPO’s general planning consultant will perform
the analysis.
In FY 15 TPO staff will review findings from the updated Regional Freight Study to monitor current
and any future needs for the safe and efficient movement of freight, goods and services throughout
the Central Florida region. The document findings will be used as a resource for the 2040 LRTP.
With the opening of the Panama Canal to larger cargo ships, ports here in the United States are
working to get their facilities ready to accommodate the larger ships. The impact of increased
freight movement by truck on Brevard County roads through increased use of Port Canaveral will be
monitored.
In FY 15 staff will complete the complete street feasibilities studies on Florida Avenue, Hickory
Street and Hopkins. Feasibility Studies on Pineapple Ave. and Front Street will also be conducted in
FY 15 with the balance of funds not expended on the previous studies. Coordination with local
municipalities will continue through construction. The TPO will also work with those agencies
without projects programmed but desiring to implement complete streets within their jurisdictions.

Purpose: Participation in the formulation and management of specific corridor studies.
Previous Achievements:
TPO staff in FY 13 continued coordination with FDOT, Brevard County Public Works, and project
consultants on the Ellis Rd. PD&E widening from Wickham Road to I‐95 which includes the
construction of an interchange at I‐95. In FY 13 drainage issues posed a major impediment to the
project and TPO staff working with the consultant were able to address and resolve the issue
through identification of funding and conducting a comprehensive drainage analysis. At the close of
FY 13 additional endangered species studies were requested posing a major delay which would
move the project out in the funding schedule. In FY 14 TPO staff along with Brevard County’s Public
Works, FHWA, and Fish and Wildlife reached a consensus which will allow the project to move
forward as scheduled.
In FY 13, the City of Palm Bay began construction of the first phase of the Parkway between Malabar
Road and the city’s northern boundary limits.
In FY 13 the TPO completed its first phase of their first LAP certified US 192 feasibility study. The
study found that this corridor’s travel demands are likely very related to any improvements made to
the parallel corridor to the north, Ellis Road. With the planned widening of Ellis, the US 192 study
found that widening of US 192 could be delayed and the limits of where to widen could be
shortened. The results from the first phase also recommended additional analysis at two major
intersections along the corridor. In FY 14 phase II looked at the intersection of Hollywood/Evans and
US 192. Through coordination efforts with FDOT a phase III was recommended by FDOT to consider
some additional alternatives at the Hollywood/Evans intersection and to also include analysis at the
second intersection from phase I, Wickham/Minton. Both intersections analysis will be completed in
June 2014. The final intersection alternative concept will then be ready to be programmed for
design, pending funding availability.

In 2012, the SR A1A Corridor Study was initiated to analyze the corridor from Pineda Causeway
north to Port Canaveral for the identification of improvements that would allow the corridor to
function and serve the needs of both residents and visitors in an efficient and safe manner. An
Action Team was created to help guide the study and has been very influential in considering many
elements that have included such items as landscaping, wayfinding signage, pedestrian and bicycle
amenities, transit, intersections, ADA concerns, utilities, drainage and several other infrastructure
improvements. The study is anticipated to be completed in mid‐2014. Recommendations will move
forward through the project prioritization process as appropriate or other funding mechanisms. Two
Complete Street projects are already being implemented along or near SR A1A at Minuteman
Causeway in Cocoa Beach and Ridgewood in Cape Canaveral (see Task 5.0).
In FY 14, FDOT initiated the Malabar Road PD&E Study. This study is looking at what types of
potential improvements could be implemented from the section between Babcock Street to US 1.
Considerations include how to address bicycle and pedestrian issues along with crossing of the
railroad. The study is anticipated to be completed in early 2015.
The Viera Company, a private corporation, is coordinating with FDOT,
Brevard County, and the TPO on the Viera Blvd. PD&E Interchange study.
Through evaluation of various types of interchanges, the
recommendation at this time is to construct a diverging diamond
interchange, the first of its kind in Florida. This type of intersection
minimizes conflicts and has been successfully implemented in other states
and in Europe.
In FY 14, FDOT’s Future Corridors Pilot Study for planning future major
transportation corridors critical to the state’s economic competitiveness
and quality of life was initiated. The pilot study area for the Space Coast TPO is included in the
Tampa Bay to Central Florida and the Space Coast pilot study. The study will explore ways to
connect southeast Orange County to the Central Brevard area. This area is anticipated to have
significant growth over the next 50 years. This activity is covered under Task 1.3 as it is a regional
planning initiative.
Methodology:
Continue coordination with FDOT, consultants, local governments and the public on the
development and management of corridor studies that evaluate area travel demands and impact of
alternative routes.

Purpose: To plan for the improvement of transportation facilities through optimizing system
operations which enhance and promote safety conscious planning and security throughout the
transportation network.
Previous Achievements:
In FY 14, the TPO began an Annual Performance Monitoring Program that encompasses many
existing tasks that are inter‐related under one program. The program consist of the collection of
traffic counts and the website maintenance of the counts, the maintenance of the web based crash
data location system, the new countywide safety evaluation report, all of which feed into the annual
State of the System Report. Beginning in FY 15 the TPO will be utilizing SU funds to cover the
expenses associated with conducting these program tasks on an annual basis. The collection of
traffic counts and maintenance of the counts and crash system are covered under Task 2.0,
Transportation Data Compilation and Distribution.
Each year the TPO undertakes the development of a State of the System Report through their
general planning consultant. The study provides a technical analysis of Brevard’s transportation
network and level of service functionality. Roadway segments are then ranked based upon technical
criteria which are used to assist in the yearly development of the TPO’s project priorities.
Demographic trends and transit usage are also included in the report.
In FY 13 the TPO conducted a Request for Proposal to solicit for consultant services to develop an
Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Master Plan. The TPO identified a selection committee to
review and rank the submitted proposals. Five total firms submitted proposals with three firms
being shortlisted by the selection committee. The highest ranking firm, Metric Engineering, was
recommended and approved by the TPO in November 2013. Key tasks of the Plan include
developing Goals and Objectives, and an ITS Vision for Brevard. Documentation of existing
conditions and infrastructure will be conducted along with identifying ITS needs and applicable

strategies, a regional architecture, concept of operations and a prioritized list of ITS projects for
consideration and implementation. The kick‐off for the plan was conducted in April 2014 with the
completion of the plan anticipated in early 2015. The total cost for the master plan is $270,000 and
is funded using the TPO’s SU funds.
TPO staff continues to be involved with the Community Traffic Safety Team and Traffic Incident
Management Committees. In FY 13 these two committees decided to hold combined meetings
every other month to allow for a better exchange of information and ideas.
In FY 14, the TPO initiated the development of an annual Countywide Safety Evaluation Report
utilizing the TPO’s and state crash database systems. The report summarizes the number, severity,
type, time of day and other sorting factors available through the systems. The analysis also
considers the eight Strategic Highway Safety Plan emphasis areas as part of the identification of
potential locations that may benefit from further analysis and safety improvements. The safety
scoring criteria was also updated in the State of the System Report using the analysis. This report
will be conducted on an annual basis as part of the overall Annual Safety and Planning Program.
TPO staff annually participates in the states hurricane exercise, locally held at the Brevard
Emergency Operations Center in Rockledge. During exercises and events staff provides information
and coordination support for the safety and security of the transportation network. This activity is
also covered under Task 1.4.
Methodology:
The Space Coast TPO Congestion Management System (CMS) plan lays out a process for an annual
cycle of data collection, congestion analysis, improvement identification, prioritization and
performance monitoring. This process is compiled into the State of the System (SOS) report as part
of the TPOs Annual Performance Monitoring Program. The CMS builds upon previous TPO, FDOT,
SCAT and local government efforts in congestion management, data collection, intergovernmental
coordination and cooperative project identification. Consultant services are used to develop the
annual SOS and beginning in FY 15 will be funded with the TPO’s SU and FTA funds (approximately
$40,000 SU and $10,000 FTA annually).
The SOS report also allows the TPO to monitor its overall air quality ozone rating. In the event new
attainment levels are approved and Brevard is found to be in non‐attainment, the LRTP will need to
be updated in include conformity measures. Amendments as necessary, to various TPO documents
will be conducted to address non‐attainment processes and strategies. The Space Coast TPO has
always been found in attainment to date.

The TPO’s newly developed web based crash data location system allows for greater use of crash
data and crash analysis, which includes types of crashes, severity and causes. The ability to conduct
additional analysis will provide the TPO the opportunity to address safety issues as part of its project
planning. In FY 14, the TPO developed its first annual safety evaluation report. The report was
developed by the TPO’s general planning consultants (This activity is also referenced under Task
2.0). Information contained in the report allows the TPO to identify high crash locations and monitor
the occurrence of the eight Strategic Highway Safety Plan emphasis areas. Information from the
safety report will be annually incorporated into the SOS to provide the safety score that is used as
one of the seven scoring elements in ranking corridors.
In FY 15, the TPO, through the use of the TPO’s SU funds, will conduct a follow‐up study to the
above safety report on those corridors ranking high in crashes and severity and will include all crash
types. Field audits will be conducted and countermeasures developed specific for each corridor.
Systemic countermeasures may also be identified if appropriate. Improvements will be categorized
as short‐term (maintenance activity), mid‐term (can be included in an upcoming improvement
project) and long term improvements (need to be added to work program).
The FDOT has identified pedestrian safety as an emphasis area for 2014. TPO’s have been asked to
develop or further implement a Pedestrian Safety Action Plan in an effort to help reduce bicycle and
pedestrian crashes. As part of the above annual safety report, emphasis will include bicycle and
pedestrian data and analysis. Any countermeasures identified will be addressed under appropriate
UPWP tasks. Also, in FY 15, if appropriate, a work order will be issued to one of the TPO’s general
planning consultants to develop a Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Action Program that analysis in
detail the vulnerable road user crashes identified as part of the Safety Plan.
In FY 14 the TPO initiated the development of an Intelligent Transportation System Master Plan with
Metric Engineering. Key tasks of the Plan include developing Goals and Objectives, and an ITS Vision
for Brevard. Documentation of existing conditions and infrastructure will be conducted along with
identifying ITS needs and applicable strategies, a regional architecture, concept of operations and a
prioritized list of ITS projects for consideration and implementation. The kick‐off for the plan was
conducted in April 2014 with the completion of the plan anticipated in early 2015. The integration of
Transportation Systems Management and Operation (TSM&O) applications will be included in the
final documentation. The total cost for the master plan is $270,000 and is funded using the TPO’s SU
funds.
TPO staff will continue to support the Brevard County Emergency Management Department through
participation in the annual Hurricane Exercise and will also provide staff support during declared

Purpose: To enhance public participation in the transportation planning process by providing
appropriate opportunities for input, development and dissemination of information utilizing various
types of media.
Previous Achievements:
In FY 13 the TPO coordinated with Clear Channel and launched its first safety message on their
digital billboards. These billboards run along I‐95, US 1 and other high visibility areas throughout
Brevard County. The messages include education about texting while driving, walking alert, and the
3ft Bicycle law. In addition, to billboards the same messages have been aired on public radio
channel WFIT FM 89.5.
TPO staff participated in recorded news interviews on general project planning, bicycle access, and
trail projects. These interviews were run on Florida Today’s news site making them accessible to the
public. In addition, Florida Today has printed news about the TPO’s upcoming meetings in the “local
briefs” section of the paper to further draw the public’s attention to current planning activities.
In FY 13 and FY 14 TPO staff made presentations at public venues that included Chambers of
Commerce, Homeowners’ associations, and numerous public meetings relating to specific
transportation projects. TPO staff responds to and provides comments and information for media
articles, and all public inquiries as well. TPO Board meetings continue to be televised live on local
Space Coast Government Television, and a link from Brevard County Government’s home website is
also available for the public to access TPO information. Meeting agendas, materials and minutes are
posted on the TPO’s website. Electronic newsletters have been produced along with informational
brochures, and annual reports of the TPO’s activities and work products.
In FY 13 the TPO adopted a social media policy and launched an account on Facebook
as another way to get information about projects and programs out to the public.

As part of the TPO’s Strategic Plan, reports are developed and presented at monthly TAC/CAC and
TPO meetings to keep the members informed on staff’s progress as well as to let the public know
more about what activities are being worked on.
In FY 14 the TPO’s Public Participation Plan was updated and revised to be more user friendly for the
public. The Plan provides clear information on how the public may participate in the process and
what types of outreach mechanisms the TPO uses to promote transportation planning. Figure 5 is an
excerpt from the plan that provides many methods on how to get involved, both text and visual
icons are used to improve comprehension and understanding.
As part of development of the Long Range Transportation Plan the TPO organized and held its first
Transportation Symposium in October 2013, and conducted a community on‐line survey. The public
outreach specific to the 2040 LRTP is covered under Task 4.0, Long Range Transportation Planning.
In FY 14 the TPO selected the website design firm of eWareness to design a new, more user friendly
TPO website. The new design will be built with the goal to attract the public to stop, look, and learn
about the TPO. The emphasis will be ease of use, providing timely and informative data on projects
and programs, have a customer feedback form, a youth education section, bicycle safety event
registration form, as well as provide links to additional information related to projects. Completion
of the website is anticipated by July 1, 2015 with additional enhancements to continue as needed.
The TPO has adopted a formal Title VI and Limited English Proficiency Plan (LEPP) policies. A
complaint policy that includes the process of how to file a complaint is also available. In FY 14 these
policies were moved and prominently displayed for viewing or downloading from the TPO’s website
home page.
Methodology:
TPO will continue efforts to reach the public regarding all of its projects and programs through
additional use of electronic media, social media, the news, frequent participation in public
information forums including Chamber of Commerce, homeowners’ association, city council, and
public meetings relating to transportation multi‐modal projects. Responding to media requests for
information, public inquiries and requests for assistance with problems, and public speaking
requests will continue.
TPO Board meetings will continue to be televised, when available, through Brevard County’s Space
Coast Government Television. Opportunities for interviews on special
projects or programs will continue to be sought. Meeting notices will be

In FY 15, the TPO anticipates launching a new community outreach program. This program will
include presenting to local municipalities, modal agencies and business organizations advising and
educating on what the TPO is and all of the services that the TPO can provide. Pending funding and
staffing resources the TPO also wishes to begin holding trail and education walks; tour guided rides
and other engaging activities. Part of this program may also include development of a customer
satisfaction and feedback element. Details will be made available once the program is fully
developed. This activity is also covered under Task 1.4, Local Coordination and Planning.
In FY 15, TPO staff will monitor the use and feedback from the newly designed website to gauge
effectiveness and identify additional improvements that may increase usage. Pending funding
availability, the TPO will seek to develop and implement an on‐line trail/bike route map. The TPO
would utilize consulting services to conduct this activity which is anticipated to cost approximately
$100,000 depending on level of detail. Funding for this activity is being covered by SU funds. Funds
were made available after researching the what would be needed to update the TPO’s Community
Characteristics (Task 2.0) and it was determined that activity can be covered by TPO staff in
coordination and utilization of the FDOT’s ETDM program.

Purpose: To implement Comprehensive Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trail Plans through coordination
with local agencies and municipalities.
Previous Achievements:
Significant work has been completed on the continued implementation of the TPOs Greenways and
Trails Master Plan. Florida’s Governor Rick Scott attended the ground breaking for the East Central
Florida Rail Trail in December 2013 to announce that the trail was fully funded for design and
construction. The Brevard Zoo trail held its ground breaking ceremony in early 2013 with
construction completed in early 2014. The Al Tuttle Trail completed another segment of
construction, and the PD&E for the Kennedy Space Center Loop trail is underway. Support for the
Coast to Coast Trail continues and was prioritized as a regional priority (see task 1.3).
In FY 13 the TPO’s general planning consultant completed development of the Bicycle and
Pedestrian Mobility Plan. The plan includes updated GIS layers for bicycles, pedestrian and trail
facilities, review and identification of sidewalk gaps, criteria for screening and ranking potential
projects both for short and long term implementation. Typical sections, wayfinding guidelines and
policy review were also conducted. The TPO’s BPTAC committee along with representatives from
local municipalities acted as the steering committee for the plan. The TPO conducted public
meetings to solicit input and comments on the plan. The accessibility index created to identify areas
that represented high potential for biking and walking needs was also used in the Complete Streets
Methodology and Project Screening study developed under Task 5.0.
In FY 13 TPO staff and FDOT staff worked diligently with local bicycle clubs and residents to launch
the Bicycle Access on Limited Highway program on the Pineda Causeway. There was an in depth
interview between staff and Florida Today news and a filmed live actual riding across the Pineda
Causeway done by Florida Today to make the public aware of this new pilot program.

In FY 14 the TPO adopted into its operational policy the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Committee
(BPTAC) as a formal committee which clarified the structure and responsibilities of the community
based group.
With the adoption of MAP‐21 a major change was made to the Safe Routes to School grant
program. All grants for Enhancements, Recreational trail, Scenic byway, and Safe Routes to School
grants were combined into the Transportation Alternatives Grant program. All applicants will now
be seeking funding from one source of funds. In FY 14, the TPO developed and utilized a new scoring
and ranking criteria to prioritize Transportation Alternatives projects. Prioritization is covered under
Task 3.0, Transportation Improvement Program.
The TPO and its staff have continued to coordinate with Brevard County School Board, Brevard
County and local municipalities through the Safe School Access Committee. This committee
convenes when needed to conduct field studies on the safety aspects of getting to and from schools.
Methodology:
In FY 14, the TPO adopted its Bicycle and Pedestrian Mobility Plan. The plan identifies criteria to be
used to evaluate potential bike/ped projects. Project implementation is identified over the short
and long term. Cost estimates for the projects were also developed. The BPTAC will be reviewing
and discussing the projects and identifying an implementation and funding plan. In FY 15 a map of
the existing and proposed network will be produced to help guide the implementation of the full
plan.
Coordination and work activities related to participation and support of the Federal Safe Routes to
School program, now under the Transportation Alternatives program will continue. Participation
and coordination of the Safe School Access Committee will also continue.
The FDOT has identified pedestrian safety as an emphasis area for 2014. Florida has been ranked in
the top five states in regards to pedestrian and bicyclist deaths over the past decade. TPO’s have
been asked to develop of further implement a Pedestrian Safety Action Plan in an effort to help
reduce bicycle and pedestrian crashes. As part of the annual Safety Evaluation Report and State of
the System Reports, any improvements and/or programs identified will be implemented.
Coordination with the school board and local municipalities through the Safe School Access

Purpose: To provide education and training to the residents of Brevard County on bicycle and
pedestrian safety and other alternative modes of transportation such as transit.
Previous Achievements:
The TPO is a supporter and participant in the Federal Safe Routes to School program. In FY 13 the TPO’s
“Feet Not Fuel” safety education website, acquired through a Safe Routes to School grant, was chosen
to be used in conjunction with the Commit2B Fit program curriculum being taught in Brevard County
Public schools.
In 2012, TPO staff conducted its biennial school travel survey in coordination with Brevard County
School Board. The survey was conducted electronically and included questions on which method of
transportation is used for getting to schools, use of a helmet which bicycling, seat belt usage, etc. The
2012 survey results reflected a new trend of bicycle helmet usage declining.
In FY 13 the TPO received 2 new trailers, and multiple bicycles which are being used to expand the
outreach of the bicycle safety education program. In addition the TPO received another $2,000 grant
from Florida Traffic Safety which was used to repair and perform maintenance on the bicycle program
equipment, and to purchase equipment. The Space Coast TPO continues to be a recipient of donated
helmets which are given out to low income families.
In FY 13 through the coordinated efforts of TPO staff the first “Walking School Bus” program was
instituted at Stevenson Elementary. In FY 15 TPO staff will be working to expand this program to other
schools.
Methodology:
Through coordination efforts with Space Coast Area Transit, the TPO continues to promote alternative
modes of transportation including transit and the use of bikes on buses program. In addition the TPO

supports and participates in the National Walk Your Child to School Day and National Bike to School
Day.
In FY 15, staff will coordinate with Brevard County schools to conduct a biennial travel survey which
counts how school age children get to school. The biennial survey is used to determine how various
education programs are working and where to potentially target special programs to help encourage
helmet or seat belt usage.
TPO staff will work to expand the new Walking School Bus program to other appropriate schools where
the program could be implemented and supported.
Continue to implement the Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans through a strong public
information and education program with an emphasis on school age children. Bicycle rodeos will
continue to be conducted at Brevard County schools and local community groups and organizations.
Continue to train physical education teachers, community leaders and law enforcement staff in
bicycle/pedestrian safety and use of transit as another alternative form of transportation. Continue
support and coordination of the school crossing guard program as necessary.
The FDOT has identified pedestrian safety as an emphasis area for 2014. Florida has been ranked in the
top five states in regards to pedestrian and bicyclist deaths over the past decade. TPO’s have been
asked to develop and further implement a Pedestrian Safety Action Plan in an effort to help reduce
bicycle and pedestrian crashes. The Space Coast TPO has a strong history of supporting its Bicycle and
Pedestrian program and will continue to do so in the future (see Tasks 7.0 and 7.1). As part of the
annual State of the System Report (covered under Task 5.2) statistics and trends on bicycle and
pedestrian safety are included. As part of the TPO’s new Countywide Safety Evaluation Report, initiated
in FY 14, the TPO will be including safety statistics and trends related specifically to bicycle and
pedestrians. This annual report will be used as the process to identify locations and potential behaviors
that can be used to develop countermeasures designed to eliminate them. Any education measures
identified will be incorporated into the bicycle and pedestrian safety education program. Other
measures will be addressed as they are identified.

Purpose: To support transit development programs and encourage use of transit system.
Previous Achievements:
The TPO is the Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA) for Brevard and as such, a TPO member
serves as the Chairman of the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board. Space Coast
Area Transit has been appointed as the community transportation coordinator for Brevard County.
Reports of the TDLCB committee meetings are provided to the TPO Board.
SCAT items are routinely included in the TPO E‐news and the Director of SCAT serves on the
Technical Advisory Committee and provides updates on transit activities and programs. Transit
considerations are incorporated in corridor studies, planning studies and the Long Range
Transportation Plan. Each year transit trends are included as part of the State of the System Report.
(See Task 5.2)
The Commuter Assistance Program was transferred to the Florida Department of Transportation
and has been branded reThink. The goals of the program are to promote alternative modes of
transportation, relieve traffic congestions, improve air quality and conserve resources.
In FY 13 the Space Coast Area Transit completed an update to the 2013‐2022 Transit Development
Plan (TDP). The TDP serves as the vision for transit in Brevard County over the next ten years and
was prepared in accordance with the TDO Rule 14‐17.001, which was formally adopted by the FDOT
on February 20, 2007. Major updates must be conducted every five years and the plan requires a
separate public involvement plan, and opportunities for review and comment during the
development of the mission, goals, objectives, alternatives, and 10‐year implementation program.
TPO staff participated as part of a steering committee throughout the plans development. The TDP
is a resource used by the TPO in various plans including the Long Range Plan.
In FY 13 SCAT initiated an ADA Assessment and Transition Plan Project of routes and bus stops. The
purpose of the study was to address SCAT’s interest in improving access, security, and operations at

its bus stops and facilities throughout the system, as well as providing enhanced amenities for its
passengers. The project is being conducted in phases with the inventory of facilities being
completed in early 2014. Other phases include the identification and prioritization of improvements
to address accessibility, security, operations, and passenger comfort issues. The final phase is the
development of a phasing plan to implement the improvements based on anticipated funding
and/or resources available over time. The SCAT bus stop and facility accessibility analysis will
provide a comprehensive and detailed assessment of SCAT’s bus stops and facilities as they relate to
compliance with the ADA and FAC requirements. The final results and recommendations are
anticipated to be completed in June, 2014. Implementation and follow‐up activities will be
conducted over the next few years.
Section 5316 funds continued to provide evening and weekend service on the Space Coast Area
Transit fixed route network to provide low income individuals greater access to employment and
employment locations. Section 5317 funds provided paratransit service beyond ADA requirements
through two subrecipients: Space Coast Early Intervention Center and Brevard Alzheimer’s
Foundation.
Methodology:
TPO staff will continue to meet with SCAT staff to discuss specific project status. Monitor legislative
and other agency activities relating to transit issues.
The TPO will develop and implement short term and long term transit improvement strategies
based on the findings of the Transit Development Plan and bus stop survey.
On an ongoing basis, Space Coast Area Transit surveys transit routes, reviews boardings and
alightings at strategic locations, identifies locations suitable for bus shelters or other transit
infrastructure. In FY 15 and FY 16 coordination between SCAT and the TPO will be initiated to follow‐
up on the implementation of the findings from the ADA Assessment and Transition Plan Project.
Continue to coordinate with Space Coast Area Transit and assist on certain task orders to be
performed by consultant services when appropriate. Transit studies will recommend operational
improvements to the transit system, which, when implemented, are intended to encourage use of
the public transportation system. Other studies may include analysis of the economic impact of the
provision of specific transit services and routes.
Continue a cooperative effort with Space Coast Area Transit regarding transportation disadvantaged
planning and consider the needs of the transportation disadvantaged in the development of the

Transportation Improvement Program. Assist SCAT in meeting provisions of transportation
disadvantaged legislation as required in Florida Statutes Chapter 427 Rules 41‐2. SCAT has been
designated the Community Transportation Coordinator. Continue to disseminate information
regarding the transportation disadvantaged program and participate in TDLCB meetings, reporting
back to TPO Board on a quarterly basis.
In FY 15 and FY 16, TPO staff will coordinate with SCAT on the integration of transit needs and
services within the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan.
In FY 15, SCAT will utilize Section 5339 grant funds (Bus and Bus Facilities Program) in support of
capital only purchases of its program. Section 5339 is a capital‐only program and funds are limited
to capital projects to replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses and bus‐related equipment, and to
construct bus‐related facilities. These funds are anticipated to be used to procure new buses and
vans.
Continue to consider transit services and needs in development of plans and corridor studies.
Specific corridor studies are covered under Task 5.1, and include but are not limited to US 1,
Malabar Road PD&E, Viera Blvd. PD&E Interchange and the St. Johns Heritage Parkway and
Interchanges. Transit is also considered a major component of Complete Streets and will be
addressed in the TPO Complete Streets projects as appropriate.
In FY15 and FY16, Space Coast Area Transit will conduct a Comprehensive Operational Analysis
(COA) of the SCAT’s fixed route service. This analysis will describe current SCAT services as a key
initial step to determine how adequately SCAT’s services perform in meeting the transportation
needs of both existing and potential customers. Second, the analysis will determine the
effectiveness and efficiency of individual routes. Third, it will make recommendations to address
unmet needs and unserved markets. Fourth, it will identify a methodology for ongoing evaluation of
the fixed route system. Fifth, it will describe any organizational or institutional practices which have
a significant effect (either positively or negatively) on transit service. The overall goal of the COA is
to ensure that SCAT is providing the most efficient and effective bus service to Brevard County. The
route structure and stop level analyses will determine if system modifications should be made to
improve ridership potential while maintaining or decreasing financial impacts. Staff will participate
in meetings and conferences, administer the funding, and review all invoices provided by the
consultant.
Space Coast Area Transit will conduct a major rewrite of the Transit Development Plan as required
and directed by Florida Administrative Rule 14‐73 in FY16. Space Coast Area Transit will also

2013 MODIFIED JOINT CERTIFICATION REVIEW
Florida Department of Transportation, District Five
And
Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization
Attendees: Bob Kamm (SCTPO), Georganna Gillette (SCTPO) Laura Carter (SCTPO) Mary Schoelzel (FDOT)
and Theodis Perry (FDOT)
The Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization (SCTPO) has the responsibility for ensuring that
the major transportation issues in their planning areas are addressed and that the requirements in state
and federal law governing the metropolitan transportation planning process are met. Certification
reviews are the tool used to determine whether the MPO/TPOs are fulfilling this responsibility. They are
conducted on an annual basis by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and on a four (4) year
cycle by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for
MPO/TPOs in Transportation Management Areas (TMA) areas. The only exception is "conditional
certification" issued for a MPO/TPO by FHWA [23 USC 143]. The next federal certification review for the
Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization will be conducted in year 2014.
The 2013 State Modified Joint Certification Review process for the SCTPO started with meetings between
FDOT District Five Staff and the SCTPO Staff held on January 28, 2013. The discussions were organized
around a set of questions developed by FDOT Staff to review all of the transportation planning processes
and requirements mandated by Federal and State law. The SCTPO staff provided responses to the
questions that led to additional dialogue. The findings, summary of noteworthy achievements, and
recommendations presented in this Modified Joint Certification Review are drawn from the responses to
the questions and the review meeting. They also reflect the emerging importance of regionalism.
FINDINGS
General
The SCTPO continues to have a positive cooperative working relationship with the FDOT, Local
Governmental Agencies, Regional Planning Agencies, Space Florida, Port Authority and other
Transportation and Land Use Agencies to support the initiatives needed for the Transportation demands
within Brevard County. The SCTPO Staff has worked diligently in the past year to plan and prioritize
projects of significant importance in their TPO boundary area. They continue to move forward with
planning and developing regional projects. These projects include roadways, bicycle/pedestrian,
complete streets, multi‐modal planning, safety projects, pedestrian sidewalk/trails, space and other
transportation facilities.

The SCTPO staff is to be commended for their outstanding work on the implementation and submission
of their 2013‐2017 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). They included all the new changes to the
TIP in an expeditious accurate manner as requested by the Department and FHWA. The TPO also
successfully completed and submitted their bi‐annual Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) and annual
Prioritized List of Projects.
The SCTPO is currently working with the FDOT staff on the 2010 Census Urban Boundary Smoothing. This
is an ongoing process requiring a series of back and forth exchanges and updates between the TPO and
FDOT. As the Urban Boundary Smoothing process is taking place, TPO Staff is beginning to assess the
need for any Functional Classification updates as well.
In addition, the SCTPO has begun conversations and strategizing on incorporating the new MAP‐21
(Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act) performance measures into their planning
documents.
The SCTPO staff continues to support their TPO Board Members, Technical Advisory Committee
Members, and Citizen's Advisory Committee Members with updated information and training to
help them better understand their roles and the importance of their participation. The Department
appreciates the support that the TPO and Local Agencies provide to move projects forward to enhance
and complete the transportation needs in Brevard County.
Summary of Noteworthy Achievements
The Space Coast TPO undertook several new initiatives in 2012 in coordination with the public and local
government agencies. The 2011 SCTPO became project specific "Local Agency Program (LAP)
Certified" and because of that initiative, they successfully completed their first LAP project in FY 2012
for the US 192 Feasibility Study. There were two major intersection improvement projects on US192 y
programmed as the result of this Study.
The second initiative embarked upon by the SCTPO is their first Complete Street Multi‐Modal Feasibility
Study. SCTPO Staff worked closely with the District and the "SR A1A Action Team" on this Feasibility
Study for State Road A1A in the cities of Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach. Several Action Team
meetings and a Public Charette were held throughout the year to gather input on short‐term and
long‐term project priorities for the corridor. The results of this study will be presented later this year.
The third initiative was the update of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Mobility Plan. The SCTPO Staff with the
assistance of a project‐working group and the Bicycle Pedestrian and Trails Advisory Committee started
the update of their Bicycle and Pedestrian Mobility Plan that will be used to implement an
interconnected system of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The SCTPO staff has participated in five public
involvement events to gather input on the Mobility Plan and it's anticipated to be complete in the spring
of 2013.

The SCTPO's fourth initiative is to continue with its Bicycle/Pedestrian Safety Education Program, Feet not
Fuel Program and the Commit 2B Fit Program. Kim Smith, the SCTPO's Bicycle/Pedestrian Education
Specialist distributed 5,100 helmets, participated in 51 safety education events, and assisted in the
implementation of the Commit 2B Fit program in 10 schools. Furthermore, for her dedication and efforts,
Kim was awarded a plaque from the City of Rockledge Police Department's Community Relations
Department for supplying helmets and assisting with helmet fittings with their "Bike Safety Outreach
Program".
In 2012, the TPO completed their fifth initiative, which was the implementation of a web based crash
location system to better analyze crash reports and to incorporate into the safety element of
performance‐based measures for transportation planning. The TPO also hosted training and coordination
with seven local agencies in Brevard County.
Finally, their sixth initiative is to institutionalize Space as a mode of transportation. The SCTPO continues
its cooperative efforts with Space Florida in assisting them in developing their Spaceport Master Plan and
incorporating it into the local, regional, and state transportation planning process. In FY 2012 SCTPO Staff
worked with FDOT to help institutionalize Space as a mode of transportation and as a result of those
efforts, FDOT Central Office reorganized to create the Aviation and the Spaceport Office. In addition,
$100M ($20 million annually) was included in FY 2014‐2018 FDOT Work Program for Space infrastructure
projects.
Accountability
The content of the quarterly reports submitted by the SCTPO with invoices have been very efficient,
timely and adequate in detail and competency. These reports are intended to document progress made
and difficulties encountered in implementing a MPO's/TPO's mission and vision through the UPWP. They
also are used to help assess the eligibility and justification of the MPO's/TPO's expenses to be reimbursed
with federal funds.
Planning Fund Carryover Balances
Planning funds are intended to be used for innovative productive planning activities within a reasonable
timeframe and are subject to redistribution or loss if certain requirements are not met. The Space Coast
TPO is commended for their continued work in utilizing these Planning Funds.
Public Involvement
Since the adoption of the SCTPO Public Involvement Plan on February 11, 2010, the TPO continues to
ensure that public participation is an integral and effective part of the TPO's activities so decisions are
made with the benefit and consideration of public perspectives. This plan is essential to the successful
implementation of any transportation planning project or program. The SCTPO holds an annual Open
