The 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan was adopted by the MPO Board on December 17, 2004. The Plan received Federal approval in mid-March 2005.

Project Approach

The 2030 Long Range Transportation System Plan for Palm Beach County is a 25-year forecast based on regional needs identified through the process of forecasting travel demand, evaluating system alternatives, and selecting those options which best meet the mobility needs of the county considering financial, environmental and social constraints. It includes a multi-modal approach, integrating all transportation modes within the area, including highway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, public transportation (i.e. PalmTran and Tri-Rail) and intermodal facilities such as airport and seaport sites. It takes into consideration such components as high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, interchanges, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), and freight mobility. The Plan serves as the preliminary tool used for transportation planning in Palm Beach County.

The Palm Beach 2030 LRTP Project involved the development of a public involvement plan, the creation of community definitions, the development of a community data repository, and the development of the Palm Beach Transportation Models (Years 2000, 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, and 2030) for the Palm Beach MPO. The approach to the project included developing public involvement procedures and a plan to be utilized throughout the project, collect and analyze area-wide information in order to identify and define the various communities and define the boundaries of all communities in Palm Beach County. Based on concentrations of citizens of similar characteristics, the consultant team developed profiles summarizing information for each community in a variety of formats that can be easily used in the transportation planning process.

The new data serves as the basis of future analysis and enables staff to assess social, economic, and environmental impacts in the Palm Beach MPO study area. The development of the Palm Beach Transportation Models began with a review of Socioeconomic Data and the existing Palm Beach Model and led to the development of the Base Year 2000 Transportation Model and Future Year Transportation Models; Year 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, and 2030. The Long Range Transportation Plan Models will lead to the development of transportation improvement projects for the future.
