Title: CHANGING ROLES FOR STATE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING: THE FLORIDA CASE
Accession Number: 00468781
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The current organization of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Division of Planning and Programming contains four bureaus, as follows: Bureau of Multi-Modal Systems Planning, Bureau of Policy Planning, Bureau of Project Programming and Priorities, and Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The Florida transportation plan serves to establish FDOT policies, future directions, and guiding policies for each modal planning process. In 1984, the Division of Planning and Programming considered functions that were then carried out by the central office that might more appropriately be carried out by the various districts. Results of this effort included decentralization of the responsibility for developing and documenting issues, needs, and plans for urbanized areas with Metropolitan Planning Organizations; vesting of responsibility for regional and small urban area planning in district and urban presence offices; and standardization of transportation system modeling, administrative procedures, contract administration, and methods for dissemination of techniques and procedures. The FDOT is also taking a stronger role in inter-district and regional transportation systems modeling. New emphasis is being placed on statewide transportation planning and the development of a statewide highway system plan. This planning process will primarily serve to balance the need for property access with capacity for regional and through-trip movements and to provide compatibility of the highways with other transportation facilities. The first Florida Highway System Plan was scheduled for completion by September 1987.
