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.
2025 Long
Range Transportation Plan
The Volusia County

24, 2006, January 23, 2007, February 27, 2007 and May 22, 2007 meetings. The Long Range Transportation Planning
process is the cornerstone of the decision-making process that is
used to guide the construction of transportation improvement
projects that utilize federal and state transportation dollars.

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 26, 2007 and September 25, 2007 meetings.
Subsequently, the MPO Board removed the I-95/Pioneer Trail
Interchange project from the Priority Lists on March 25, 2008

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.

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
