Why it matters: The FDOT five-year work program identifies projects that may proceed to design, right-of-way acquisition and construction. The program informs local priorities and helps local governments plan matching commitments and coordination.

Highlights presented by Carla Hodges, FDOT District 3 Program Management Administrator:
- District totals: District 3 tentative work program estimated at about $4.26 billion for FY2026–2030. Program composition: roughly 71% product (capital), 15% production support and 14% operations.
- CRTPA area: Tentative program totals for CRTPA projects were reported at approximately $534.6 million (approximately 84% product, 14% production support, 2% operations/maintenance).
- Orange Avenue (State Road 373) capacity projects: Two segments were noted — South of Lake Bradford Road to Cypress Lake Street (design funded in FY2028; significant construction and right-of-way needs remain, staff cited approximately $46.7 million in unfunded construction/R/W needs) and Cypress Lake Street to South Monroe (design funding in FY2027 to complete plans; staff said right-of-way and construction remain unfunded with cumulative unfunded needs cited near $125 million for later phases).
- Local program projects and multimodal highlights: Waverly Road sidewalk (Thomasville Road to Meridian) funded for construction in FY2026 through the CRTPA-managed Transportation Alternatives program; multiple SCOP/SCRAP county resurfacing and widening projects were described for Jefferson, Wakulla and McIntosh counties.
- Safety and operations: I‑10 bridge deck grind and high-friction surface treatment projects on the Ochlockonee bridges (design FY2026, construction FY2027) and Leon County ATMS (traffic management) operations funding later in the program.

US‑319 update: FDOT staff reported a virtual public project update will be available March 12. Right‑of‑way acquisition for the segment of US‑319 from south of the Wakulla County line to south of L. L. Wallace Road has funding in FY2026; the transcript records approximately $7,300,000 for right-of-way acquisition. FDOT staff told the board that construction is not currently funded and the present construction estimate is about $57,000,000.

Board discussion and questions: Board members asked about segmentation of Orange Avenue work (staff explained PD&E and corridor-level planning are done together and later segmented into construction-affordable pieces), the schedule for Pensacola Street and Stadium Drive midblock crossing elements (staff confirmed those elements were included in contracts let in November 2024 and construction contracts were executed in January 2025), and potential traffic impacts from a proposed Buc-ee’s development (staff said development impacts would be studied as projects move forward).

Action: This agenda item was for information and discussion only; the board did not take formal action on the work program itself.

Ending: FDOT staff encouraged interested stakeholders to visit the tentative work program webpage and public hearing links for further detail and said project schedules and funding remain subject to change during the statewide work-program development process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency Meeting - February 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","FDOT District 3 presented its tentative fiscal years 2026–2030 work program, highlighting more than $4.26 billion districtwide and $534.6 million in the CRTPA area.

What staff presented: The analysis covered recent years (presenters used a 2021–2023 window and noted that FDOT crash data are subject to a 60-day reporting delay). The presenter reported 28 fatalities and 75 serious injuries in that window; the transcript had inconsistent phrasing about totals, and staff cautioned that final numbers reflect data received after the 60-day lag.

Key crash characteristics noted by staff:
- Single‑vehicle crashes were the largest category (about 65% of crashes described in the briefing).
- Run‑off‑the‑road crashes that struck trees accounted for just over half of the fatal crashes discussed.
- Commercial vehicles featured in some crashes; commercial-vehicle-only crashes included both fatal and serious-injury outcomes. Presenters said commercial vehicles made up roughly 16–23% of the crashes discussed, depending on classification.
- Environmental and behavioral factors: a substantial share of crashes occurred in clear daytime conditions; wet pavement and hydroplaning were identified in narratives; 17% of crashes were noted as distracted driving, 16% aggressive driving and roughly 10% each for alcohol and drugs as contributing factors.
- Seatbelt usage: staff presented occupant seatbelt usage figures, reporting roughly 84% seatbelt use overall for initiating vehicles and noting that a meaningful share of fatal outcomes involved occupants not wearing seat belts.

Countermeasures and next steps: Staff noted three upcoming interstate resurfacing projects that will cover about 25 lane miles of I‑10 across the region and described resurfacing as a countermeasure for crashes tied to reduced traction and hydroplaning. Staff also recommended continued enforcement and outreach, and the issue will be taken up by the regional Community Traffic Safety Team for further discussion.

Caveats: The presenter emphasized the 60-day data lag and multiple contributing factors in crash narratives; board members and staff agreed numbers should be interpreted in that context.

Action: The briefing was discussion-only; no board action was taken.","CRTPA received a data briefing on Interstate 10 crashes covering recent years.

The presentation, delivered by Greg Burke of CRTPA staff, showed the five federally required safety performance measures: number of fatalities, number of serious injuries, fatality and serious-injury rates, and non-motorized (pedestrian and bicycle) fatalities and serious injuries. Staff proposed targets that reflect a 5% reduction from the previous year’s adopted targets, consistent with board direction from 2022.

Why it matters: The Federal Highway Administration requires metropolitan planning organizations to adopt annual safety performance targets; those targets guide project prioritization, performance reporting and eligibility for certain federal safety grants.

Key findings and local initiatives described by staff:
- 2024 results and vulnerable road users: staff reported 185 serious injuries regionwide for 2024 (staff stated this was the lowest reported in recent years). Pedestrian serious injuries were reported as 25 and bicycle serious injuries as 6; pedestrian fatalities were reported as 15 and bicycle fatalities as 3. Staff said 13 pedestrian fatalities occurred in Leon County, one in Gadsden County and one in Wakulla County. The presenter said three pedestrian fatalities were associated with hit-and-run crashes, three involved people identified as unhoused, and three occurred in work zones.
- Long-term goal: staff requested the board continue to endorse a long-term goal of zero fatalities and serious injuries for the CRTPA region. The transcript did not clearly record a specific target year for that long-term goal; staff asked the board to continue adopting the long-term objective.
- SS4A grants and projects: staff recapped the CRTPA Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) action plan and noted that the City of Tallahassee’s Jake Gaither application was successful and received approximately $10,000,000 in funding. Applications for West Tennessee and North Monroe were not funded in the most recent round; staff said reviewers encouraged resubmission.
- Local projects and programs: staff highlighted sidewalk, lighting and midblock crossing projects on corridors including North Monroe, Paul Russell Road, St. Augustine Street, Pensacola Street and Tennessee Street. Waverly Road (Thomasville Road to Meridian) was noted as receiving Transportation Alternatives funding to construct a 5-foot sidewalk.
- Enforcement and outreach: staff described coordinated high-visibility enforcement (HVE) by the Tallahassee Police Department and Leon County Sheriff’s Office on high-injury corridors and CRTPA helmet-distribution and outreach events.

Board action: Commissioner (name not specified in transcript) moved to adopt staff recommendation option number 1; a second was recorded and the motion passed on a voice vote with ayes recorded and no opposition.

Questions from board members focused on SS4A grant timing and criteria (members asked whether the Federal Highway notice of funding opportunity and evaluation criteria were expected in late March), links between pedestrian fatalities and unhoused populations along corridors (North Monroe, West Tennessee and Capitol Circle), and implementation steps such as fencing medians and signalized crosswalks on North Monroe. The board discussed resurfacing and other countermeasures, and the presenter said staff will return with a more detailed corridor-level update targeted for May.

Ending: Board members requested staff continue to monitor SS4A funding announcements and resubmit unfunded applications where appropriate. The adopted targets will be filed with FDOT and FHWA per federal requirements.","CRTPA staff presented 2025 safety performance targets and a set of local safety initiatives.

The amendments included roll-forward TIP entries for FDOT projects that did not receive authorization in the prior year, additional funding for Crawfordville Road and a new safety lighting project on West Tennessee Street between Enon Church Road and Blountstown Highway. CRTPA staff said the roll-forwards allow FDOT to proceed with authorization and implementation.

Why it matters: The action moves design and feasibility work onto the region’s approved programming documents so projects can proceed toward design, right-of-way and construction phases and — where federal funds are involved — be added to the State Transportation Improvement Program.

Details: CRTPA staff presented two grouped votes. The first vote ratified the roll-forward amendments and related project entries (item 6A). The board then approved resolution 2025-02-6B (item 6B) to add four regionally significant trail projects under the SunTrail program into the TIP. The SunTrail projects added were described by staff as:
- US 90 in Gadsden County (Quincy to Chattahoochee) — feasibility study.
- Ironbridge Road (Gadsden County) — move to design for the Tallahassee-to-Havana Trail segment.
- Old Bainbridge Road to Orchard Pond Greenway Trailhead (Tallahassee-to-Havana Trail) — funded for PD&E.
- Bloxham Cutoff Road Trail — additional design funding, including a mix of SU (urban-attributable) and SunTrails money.

Staff noted one of the SunTrail segments uses urban-attributable (SU) federal funds and therefore will require STIP action at the state level.

Votes at a glance:
- Agenda modification to add item 7C (presentation from FDOT District 3): motion and second recorded; voice vote in favor (ayes). (Recorded in meeting transcript; mover/second not specified.)
- Consent agenda: motion, second; voice vote in favor; motion carried.
- Item 6A (FDOT roll-forward TIP amendments and project additions): roll-call vote recorded as unanimous. Commissioners present recorded “aye”; motion carried unanimously.
- Item 6B (Resolution 2025-02-6B amending the CRTPA FY2025–2029 TIP to add four SunTrail projects): roll-call vote recorded as unanimous; motion carried unanimously.

What was not decided: Construction funding for some projects remains unfunded; staff presented these as programming/authorization steps rather than construction commitments.

The board moved on after the votes to further agenda items, and staff said the changes were time-sensitive and had been approved by the CRTPA Executive Committee in December and were now before the full board for ratification.

Ending: Staff and board members said the TIP amendments will allow FDOT and local agencies to pursue next steps, including design, right-of-way and eventual construction funding requests.","The Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency unanimously ratified FDOT-requested amendments to the Transportation Improvement Program and adopted a resolution to add four SunTrail projects to the current TIP.
