The Volusia County MPO is required to
produce a series of planning documents in accordance with various
State and Federal guidelines. These documents are developed
utilizing the critical input and expertise of various MPO Committee
members, technical consultants, concerned citizens, and support
staff. In addition, the MPO participates in many transportation
related planning studies to gather the information necessary to make
informed decisions. The documents produced by the MPO are always
available in draft form for public review prior to adoption by the
Board. They continue to be available for review after adoption at
the MPO offices. Copies are also available for distribution at a
rate necessary to cover the printing expense of the document.
Federal-Aid Highway/Functional Classification System:
The
functional classification is directly tied to the Federal-aid
Highway System and to eligibility for Surface Transportation Program
(STP) funds and other federal highway funding. Federal Aid
Roads are those on the National Highway System (NHS) or functionally
classified as Urban Collector / Rural Major Collector, or higher.
They are eligible for STP funds from the Federal Highway
Administration. Please note
that all information on these maps is subject to verification with
the Florida Department of Transportation and FHWA.

Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines
The Volusia County MPO adopted the Transportation Impact
Analysis (TIA) Guidelines. With the adoption of this
methodology, the Volusia County MPO is continuing to move forward in
cooperation with the Florida Department of Transportation, Volusia
County, and local municipalities to pursue efforts to identify and
develop consistent standards related to transportation impacts of
proposed development.

Intergovernmental Coordination Process
On January 27,
2009, the Volusia County MPO adopted the Intergovernmental
Coordination Process. This process is geared to help
provide a coordinated and consistent process for review of
development projects that may significantly affect the
transportation systems in other jurisdictions.

Priority Project Lists
Each year the Volusia County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
solicits project applications from local governments to compete
for federal and state transportation funding. From these
applications the MPO develops a draft list of priorities that it
makes available for the public to review and comment on.
The MPO Board held a public hearing to solicit input before adopting
the current lists of priority projects at their June 23, 2009.

Bicycle and Pedestrian School Safety Study
The
2007 Volusia County MPO Bicycle and Pedestrian School Safety Study
(Phase 2) analyzed bicycle and pedestrian safety issues within the
Volusia County elementary school walk zones and provided
recommendations for improvement. Safe walk zones encourage people
to ride their bicycles or walk to school. The study identified
priority projects and resources that schools and local governments
can use to implement the recommendations .

Experienced Cyclist was adopted by the Volusia County
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) on February 24,
2009. The map is a portable, graphic representation of
bicycle facilities and suggested bicycle routes in Volusia
County. It is intended for use as a navigation tool for
experienced bicyclists and the general public.

SR 417 Extension Study
The SR 417 Extension Study was
a yearlong effort undertaken by Florida's Turnpike
Enterprise to investigate the feasibility of a new toll road
in Seminole and Volusia Counties. In early 2002,
Volusia County, Seminole County, the Volusia County MPO, and
Metroplan Orlando all passed resolutions asking Florida's
Turnpike Enterprise to study the feasibility of a new toll
road.
The planning analysis reviewed
transportation demand, environmental impacts, local support,
and financial feasibility. More than fifty working
meetings were held with technical professionals and the
public actively engaged. The result was that Florida's
Turnpike Enterprise found an environmentally sound route
with good local support that could ease traffic congestion
on Interstate 4 and SR 415.
However, the proposed
estimated revenues of a toll road fell significantly short
of the project's estimated costs. Therefore, without
local funding partners the Florida's Turnpike Enterprise
cannot advance this project.

417 Extension Study, click on the link below to review the

Congestion Management System
Plan (CMS) |
Congestion
management describes a systematic procedure for identifying
locations in the transportation system that are deficient and
then looks at developing and implementing solutions to alleviate the
“bottlenecks” to improve traffic flow. The Congestion
Management System (CMS) Plan was adopted as part of 2025 Long
Range Transportation Plan (Chapter 9). Click on the link below
