Florida Commission for
the Transportation Disadvantaged
Transit use is on the rise due to rising fuel
costs while local governments are faced
with cutting services because of budget
constraints. This session looked at ways
to meet the transit demands of the future.
A Journey Into the Future
Vehicles of tomorrow will be smaller
and rely on electric, hydrogen, hybrid
and other fuel sources. All vehicles will
utilize technology – vehicles will talk to
vehicles, vehicles will talk to the roads.
The transportation system will carry more
buses and fewer cars during peak travel
time and move cargo (trucks) at night.
Creation of a new revenue model: 1)
Replace the gas tax with “everybody pays
all of the time” toll as the base. Treat
users as customers. 2) Increase the tolls
during peak travel times and dedicate the
revenue to transit. 3) Implement
environmental tolls, charging additional
toll depending on the type of
vehicle driven. Revenue would fund
environmental programs.
Transit Financing in the 21st Century
Riding transit has become cool and
ridership is rising. Major cost and funding
stresses on transit. Short-term funding
solutions are difficult. Longer term
funding solutions are likely more market
based and tied to land use. Public Private
Partnerships will be part of the transit
landscape. They can help control cost
and produce up front financing for much
needed projects.
Florida’s Paratransit Program
The program started as a simple concept
in 1979 to provide transportation services
to the transportation disadvantaged (TD).
Florida was the first state with a law
requiring this type of service. Each of the
state’s 67 counties now have a Community
Transportation Coordinator. 83 percent
of the paratransit providers are for-profit
entities. The Transportation Disavantaged
Board, comprised of seven voting and
eight non-voting members, oversee the
program. Funding sources include the TD
Trust Fund, a portion of the revenue from
Temporary Disabled Parking Placards and
voluntary contribution of $1 from vehicle
registrations.

Knowing “we can’t build our way out of
congestion,” what can be done to optimize
transportation systems?
Multi-modal approaches: The
new 2010 Highway Capacity Manual will
become the leading technical document
for multi-modal transportation systems,
bringing emphasis to other modes as
solutions to congestion. Presenting an
integrated multi-modal approach for the
first time, the manual focuses on travelers’
perceptions. Four different levels of
service – bicycle, pedestrian, transit, and
auto/truck – will be featured.
Truck lanes: Recognizing freight
transportation will grow 260 percent by
2035, Georgia did a study evaluating
whether truck-only lanes would produce
more efficient traffic movement. Results
recommended not pursuing this option.
Truck-only lanes would pull 60 percent
of trucks from general use lanes, but
traffic using parallel facilities then would
fill general use lanes yielding only a five
percent decrease in traffic.
The 95 Express: Low trip reliability
coupled with the worst congestion in the
nation put south Florida in need of an
innovative solution to traffic management.
Over 21 miles crossing two counties,
the 95 Express evolved from an urban
partnership agreement and makes a
significant regional connection. General
purpose lanes and express lanes along
with bus rapid transit combine to provide
congestion relief. Marketing/advertising
and public outreach through media,
dynamic message signs, highway advisory
radio, and billboards are essential to
successful operation.
