Long Range Transportation Plan

 

The Long Range Transportation Plan was adopted by the MPO Board on December 17, 2009.

Project Approach

The 2035 Long Range Transportation System Plan for Palm Beach County is a 25-year forecast based on regional needs identified through the process of forecasting travel demand, evaluating system alternatives, and selecting those options which best meet the mobility needs of the county considering financial, environmental and social constraints. It takes a multi-modal approach, integrating all transportation modes within the area, including highway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, public transportation (i.e. PalmTran and Tri-Rail) and intermodal facilities such as airport and seaport sites. It considers such components as high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, interchanges, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), and freight mobility. The Plan serves as the primary tool used for transportation planning in Palm Beach County.

The Palm Beach 2035 LRTP Project involved the development of a public involvement plan and the use of the Southeast Florida Regional Planning Model for the Palm Beach MPO. The approach to the project included developing public involvement procedures and a plan to be utilized throughout the project.

The 2035 data served as the basis for future analysis and enabled staff to assess social, economic, and environmental impacts in the Palm Beach MPO study area. The development of the Palm Beach Transportation Plan began with a review of Socio-economic Data and existing travel, and led to the development of the Base Year 2005 Transportation Model and Future Year Transportation Alternatives. The process resulted in preparation of a Needs Plan and, applying fiscal constraints, A Cost Feasible Plan. The Long Range Transportation Plan will lead to the development of transportation improvement projects for the future.
