Standardizing the Mobility Fee Model: A Path Forward for Florida's Transportation Challenges

Presented by Thomas Hill from FDOT District Two, this discussion addresses the legislative direction for creating a standardized methodology for mobility fees in Florida. Key points include addressing issues with concurrency, promoting compact and energy-efficient development, and implementing a fair fee structure based on travel demand models. The outline includes steps for establishing a mobility fee, examining the relationship between land use and mobility plans, and developing techniques for measuring vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Ultimately, the goal is to improve mobility while ensuring equitable development.

  1. Mobility Fee Model Process Standardization Presented by: Thomas Hill – FDOT District Two November 9th, 2009

  2. MTF Discussion Topic • Legislative direction to provide methodology for mobility fees • CUTR/UF to Provide Studies • Focus on Travel Demand Model for Fee Calculation

  3. SB 360 - Issues With Concurrency • Inequitable • Lacks uniformity • May promote sprawl

  4. Evaluation of a Mobility Fee as a Replacement for Concurrency Goals of the Mobility Fee • Improved Mobility • Pay for new impacts to network • Promote compact, mixed use, and energy-efficient development • Include all modes

  5. Evaluation of a Mobility Fee as a Replacement for Concurrency DCA/DOT Joint Report by December 1: • General Mobility Fee recommendations • Action plan for implementation • Recommended legislation • Costs and benefits to state/local/private sector

  6. Evaluation of a Mobility Fee as a Replacement for Concurrency Two Florida Studies Florida Mobility Fee • DCA/CUTR • Develop options for fee policy • Encourage development in appropriate areas • Develop a mode neutral revenue source VMT Traffic Impact Assessment • FDOT/Univ. of FL • Develop techniques for VMT measurement • Develop better ways to estimate VMT • Techniques sensitive to community types

  7. Steps Needed to Establish a Mobility Fee • Step 1: Determine institutional structure • Step 2: Develop mobility plan • Step 3: Estimate target funding level • Step 4: Estimate VMT growth • Step 5: Establish the mobility fee rate • Step 6: Apply mobility fee Source: DCA website

  8. Step 1: Determine Institutional Structure • Local, countywide, or regional? • MPO, RTA, RPC, other agency? • Other participants Source: DCA website

  9. Step 2: Develop Mobility Plan • Plan reflects vision • Land use and transportation plans are closely related • Automobile congestion is not the sole determinant of mobility • Plan (local/regional) reflects • community desire for mobility • Quantify the cost • Identify anticipated revenues Source: DCA website

  10. Step 3: Estimate Target Funding Level TFL= Mobility Plan Cost – Anticipated Revenue Example: Mobility Plan Cost = $400 Million Anticipated Revenue = $250 Million TFL = $400 - $250 = $150 million The Unfunded Cost of Growth Source: DCA website

  11. Step 4: Estimate VMT Growth VMT Growth = VMT Horizon year - VMT Base year Model Year VMT 2000 7,700,368 2009(Base) 10,077,213 2015 10,729,086 2025(Horizon) 11,577,621 VMT Growth = 1.5 Million Vehicle Miles Source: DCA website

  12. Step 5: Establish The Mobility Fee Rate Target Funding Level = $150 million Vehicle Miles Travel Growth = 1.5 million VMT Solve the Equation $150 Million ÷ 1.5 Million = $ 100 per Vehicle Mile Traveled For New Developments Source: DCA website

  13. Step 6: Apply Mobility Fee Another Option “Zone Method” • Develop average trip length by zone • Generate # of trips for development to each zone • Trip length x Number of • trips=VMT • Apply Mobility Fee Rate Fee=Project VMT x Rate One Option “Model Method” • Generate # of trips for development • Use urban model to • generate added VMT • impact from the • development • Apply Mobility Fee Rate Fee=Project VMT x Rate Source: DCA website

  14. Is Modeling VMT A Viable Way to Accomplish this? • Different models; Statewide, District, TPO, • Local, Developer • Local models have different standards • Pro growth vs. no growth municipalities • Unfair playing field

  15. Downstream Results • Flows into work programs, CIEs, LRTPs • Competition for funds • Opposing interests • Doom, despair, agony, deep dark depression, excessive misery

  16. Recommendations • The Model Task Force should be a larger • participant in this process • Model Task Force should study and review • any proposed VMT modeling proposal • Model Task Force should define the • direction, the standards, the best way • to perform a quantitative assessment of VMT.
