AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a Resolution Prioritizing the Transportation
Alternatives Applications Submitted for the Florida Department of Transportation - 2023
Transportation Alternatives Grant Program for Projects to be Funded in the FY2023 FDOT Work
Plan.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The Florida Department of Transportation ("FDOT") announced the 2023 Transportation
Alternatives ("TA") application cycle on January 5th, 2023. The TA is federal funding available for
non-motorized transportation that is administered through the FDOT. The current application cycle
was open until February 20th, 2023.
The FDOT, as part of the application review process, requires local priority rankings to be approved
by the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (`BOCC'). This year three applications
were received for projects within Monroe County: Salt Ponds Pathways Feasibility Study, City of
Key West; Crane Boulevard Shared Use Path Construction Project, Monroe County; and City
Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, City of Marathon. A selection committee, consisting of
representatives from Monroe County, Key West, and Marathon, evaluated the applications based on
the criteria found within the FDOT application.
Criteria for scoring the projects included:
1. Project safety improvements for bicycles riders and/or pedestrians.
2. Intermodal transportation linkages improvements, including those that provide access to
transit stations and/or facilities.
3. Mobility enhancement or community development for disadvantaged groups (i.e.
children, the elderly, the poor, those with limited transportation options, and the disabled).
4. Local funding contribution or the completion of previous phases of project development.
5. Neighborhood or community quality of life improvements, improving environmental air,
noise, water quality, and/or reducing the need for single occupancy vehicle trips.
6. Community support, including minutes of public meetings, newspaper clippings,
petitions, letters of support from local business owners, property owners, non-profit
organizations,political leaders, and other groups.

7. Prioritization (25 points): Monroe County will prioritize projects and award points based
on prioritization. A maximum of 25 points will be assigned. The top ranked project from
each county agency receives 25 points, the second ranked receives 24 points, the third ranked
receives 23 points, etc.
The overall score is based on a 125-point scale. Each committee member scored each project based
on the six criteria listed above, assigning points as allowed for each measure. This accounted for 100
points. In accordance with criteria number seven, the Monroe County Planning and Environmental
Resources Department Senior Director assigned the remaining prioritization points of 0-25. The total
scores from each committee member based on the six criteria were averaged and the prioritization
points for number seven assigned by the Senior Director was then added to the averaged individual
scores from each committee member.
The City of Marathon City Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan received an overall average score of
55.3 and a final score of 80.3 with final prioritization points; City of Key West Salt Ponds Pathways
Feasibility Study received an overall average score of 55 and a final score of 79 with final
prioritization points; and Monroe County Crane Boulevard Shared Use Path Construction Project
received an overall average score of 49.5 and a final score of 72.5 with final prioritization points.
The recommended rankings of the 2023 applications are as follows:
1. City Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, City of Marathon requesting $250,000
2. Salt Ponds Pathways Feasibility Study, City of Key West, requesting $159,618
3. Crane Boulevard Shared Use Path Construction Project, Monroe County, requesting
$1,000,000
Upon approval by the BOCC, the decision will be transmitted to the FDOT for funding consideration
and inclusion in the FDOT 5-Year Work Program.

Background:
Historically,the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 6 opens an application cycle for
Transportation Alternatives (TA)funding when federal funds are available to local governments to fund
improvements that create transportation alternatives for the non-motorized user. The TA is federal
funding for programs and projects defined as transportation alternatives, which includes planning,
design or construction of on and off-road pedestrian and bicycle facilities, infrastructure projects for 2
improving non-driver access to public transportation and enhanced mobility, and similar projects. The
process for obtaining TA funding is competitive in nature. Proposed projects are evaluated and ranked 0
based on a specific set of criteria developed by FDOT. Part of the criteria includes local prioritization. a
Monroe County is an area outside of a Metropolitan Planning Organization(MPO);therefore,the County
is responsible for establishing priorities for projects within the Florida Keys. Therefore, all applications N
submitted by jurisdictions within Monroe County must be evaluated and ranked by the Monroe County z
Board of County Commissioners. A committee consisting of representatives from Monroe County, Key �
West, Marathon, and Key Colony Beach reviewed the applications submitted for consideration and
ranked the applications based on criteria found within the FDOT application guidelines.
CU
This year, FDOT invited the local jurisdictions to submit applications for projects that can be developed LO
..
for Fiscal Year 2029. three applications were submitted for local prioritization. A summary of the
projects follows. E

2023 TA Applications
1. Salt Ponds Pathways Feasibility Study, City of Key West
2023 TA Request: $ 159,618
Jurisdiction Match: $ 95,721
Total Project Cost$255,339

K.4.a
Feasibility planning of three multi-use trails totaling 1.57 miles in the City of Key West Florida.
The Airport Port Pathway (0.983 miles) runs parallel to the Key West International Airport and
will provide pedestrian and bicycle access to the airport and surrounding neighborhoods. The
Riviera Pathway (0.174 miles) leading northwest through the Salt Ponds Hammock Park further
connecting the pathways and allowing accessibility to Riviera Drive. Thirdly, Smathers Pathway
begins at Government Road connecting South Roosevelt Blvd and Smathers beach access.
The City is requesting funding to conduct a feasibility study to perform an environmental site
review, environmental and local permitting, and all design constraints. The study is a necessary 2
step toward a final design to implement a broad feature of our Bicycle and Pedestrian Master
Plan, aiming to increase the mobility and safety of the community and its visitors while
preserving the natural environment in Key West.
2. Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan, City of Marathon
2022 TA Request: $250,000
CL
Jurisdiction Match: $0 CL
Total Project Cost$250,000 E
Marathon is a corridor-focused community where most keys destinations are located along US 1 0-
making alternative transportation options for commuting and recreation such as biking and -
walking essential and already utilized by many residents daily. However, the City contains just
seven crosswalks forcing residents to cross multiple lanes of traffic that are often in excess of 45
mph to reach nearby locations. Marathon is currently ranked llth out of 118 Florida cities in
serious pedestrian or bicyclist injuries and fatalities, up from the previous ranking of 13th. <
Without coordinated bicycle and pedestrian improvements emphasizing access to schools,parks,
and shopping centers injuries and fatalities will continue to increase. The completion of a Bicycle
and Pedestrian Master Plan for the City of Marathon will improve pedestrian and cyclist will 0
ensure the safety of residents and visitors and provide a systematic approach to the development U)
of a complete pedestrian and bicycle path network.

allocations to the Transportation Alternatives program, presenting opportunities to fund
smaller— scale but critically important multimodal transportation projects at both the
state and local level.
Agencies are invited to submit applications for projects that can be developed for Fiscal
Year (FY) 2029. Miami Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) and Monroe
County Planning and Environmental Department are responsible for forwarding this
announcement to local agencies within their respective jurisdictions. New projects are
typically programmed in the fifth year of the Department's Tentative Work Program (FY
2029). However, funding is subject to the availability of TA funds and an annual
spending authority approved by the Florida Legislature.
The TA application cycle is administered through the FDOT District Six Program
Management Office. For information on eligibility, the selection criteria, and application
submittals, see the attached "2023 Transportation Alternatives Selection and
Prioritization Criteria Cycle FDOT District VI." Applications must be submitted through
Grant Application Process (GAP). Applicants must request user access by registering at

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATIONCU
Projects prioritized in this funding cycle are programmed into the FDOT 5-Year Work Program. Project sponsors must
enter into a Local Agency Program (LAP) Agreement (Form No. 525-010-40) with FDOT prior to the start of any work
for which reimbursement is requested. Project sponsors must have or obtain LAP Certification to qualify for project
funding2. Projects must meet federal requirements, standards and rules, and procedures governing federally fundedCU
transportation projects, including right-of-way certification, environmental review, and Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) compliance.
c�
State and federal agencies are generally exempt from the certification requirements of this section.This is due to the fact that state and federal
agencies undergo extensive annual auditing protocols by both state and federal entities which are available for department review as needed.
However,a District may request a state or federal agency obtain certification or recertification as needed.
