It encourages ongoing coordination during project planning and design and requests information be shared with the MPO Board if improvements are not feasible. [case MPO26-0147] The Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee agenda memorandum for FILE NO. MPO26-0147 recommends voting to approve the Final Pasco County Safety Action Plan, 'Safe Streets Pasco.' The plan analyzes the county's transportation system, crash data, and develops safety policies, strategies, and projects to reduce roadway crashes, injuries, and fatalities. It aligns with the County’s transportation goals and provides a framework for implementing safety improvements and investments. Pasco County is developing a Safety Action Plan to address traffic crashes resulting in fatalities and serious injuries. The plan identifies the High Injury Network (HIN), which comprises 2.5% of roads where 54% of fatal and serious injury crashes occur. Key characteristics of the HIN include average posted speeds of 45 mph, a mix of State and County roads, and a higher demand for non-auto travel. The plan is funded by a $320,000 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant. Public and stakeholder feedback were gathered through workshops, surveys, and meetings to inform the plan's strategies. The plan aims to reduce traffic deaths and serious injuries to zero by 2050 using a Safe System Approach. This document is a Pasco County Safety Action Plan focused on reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries. It identifies key crash profiles, priority locations, and potential countermeasures. Specific intersections and corridors are highlighted for further analysis and potential improvements. The plan outlines strategies across categories like Safer People, Safer Roads, Safer Speeds, Safer Vehicles, and Post-Crash Care, with an emphasis on data-driven decision-making and collaboration among various agencies. It also details funding sources and a framework for monitoring progress towards the goal of zero traffic fatalities by 2050. [case MPO26-0149] Pasco County is developing a Transportation Resiliency Improvement Plan (RIP) in collaboration with Volkert, Inc. to assess and enhance the resilience of its transportation system against natural and human-made events. The plan aims to identify vulnerabilities, prioritize improvements, and recommend projects and policies for implementation over 5, 10, and 20-year horizons. The Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee received a presentation on the plan's progress, which includes developing a vulnerability index, identifying critical corridors, and collecting community feedback. Key hazards considered include coastal flooding, extreme heat, sea level rise, inland flooding, wildfires, sinkhole risk, and cybersecurity threats. The plan builds upon the Resilient Pasco Project and aims to coordinate with existing efforts. Deliverables include vulnerability assessments, project lists, and implementation plans. The project is scheduled for final report adoption in June 2026. Public engagement includes surveys and stakeholder interviews. [case MPO26-0137] Pasco County is undertaking a Freight Plan to conduct a comprehensive analysis of its freight transportation system, focusing on roadways. The plan will identify deficiencies in condition, operation, performance, and policy, and propose solutions including recommended projects, operational improvements, and policies. It will also develop an implementation plan. The plan is being developed in partnership with local economic development and planning organizations and the regional freight industry. Recommendations may include policy and systemwide changes, as well as specific infrastructure and operational improvements for corridors and intersections. The plan's implementation will be aligned with FDOT's Work Program, the MPO's Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), and local Capital Improvement Programs (CIP). [case MPO26-0152] Pasco County is developing an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) to create a vision for a safe, connected network supporting walking, bicycling, and micromobility. The plan will guide policy development, project prioritization, and future capital investments, aligning with county and MPO long-range transportation goals. The plan involves a detailed assessment of active transportation, confirmation of existing planned facilities, and identification of new feasible facilities. The updated network will be incorporated into other plans for implementation, including the County CIP, development projects, FDOT projects, and the MPO process. Key tasks include engagement, data collection, bicycle and pedestrian system planning, project prioritization, and plan preparation. The project is currently in Phase 1 (Data Collection and Existing Conditions) with Phase 2 (Network Development and Project Prioritization) scheduled to begin in Fall 2026, aiming for plan adoption in Spring 2027. [case MPO26-0152] The Tampa Bay MPO regional merger effort is nearing completion of Phase 1, focusing on the development of an apportionment plan which defines board composition and participating entities. The current framework includes a 25-member board with designated seats for modal partners and non-voting advisors. The next steps involve confirming alignment on the apportionment plan, with a formal vote on establishing a merged regional MPO anticipated around July 1, 2027. Phase 2 will address governance details such as bylaws and operating procedures. Key actions like adopting the TIP and LRTP will require majority support across all three counties. No funding requests are anticipated for FY27, with future needs expected from FY28 onwards.
