The Pasco County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) held a special meeting on June 25, 2025, to discuss key transportation initiatives and updates. The primary focus of the meeting was the final Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which outlines significant investments in the county's transportation infrastructure.
The meeting commenced with a presentation of the final TIP, which reflects an investment of over $560 million in Pasco County's transportation system over the next five fiscal years. After a brief discussion, the board moved to approve the TIP, with no objections raised during the motion. The motion was unanimously approved.
Following the approval, the meeting transitioned to updates on the Go Pasco initiative, where it was noted that there were no new updates to report at this time.
The next agenda item featured a status report on the micromobility traffic count strategic plan and data collection update. Angel Villa from the Pasco County MPO provided insights into the ongoing study, which aims to develop a sustainable micromobility traffic monitoring program. This study involves data collection at four high-priority locations using advanced traffic data collection technologies. The project is being led by Marlin Engineering, and Eric Katz was present to share findings from the data analysis conducted at these sites.
The meeting concluded with a focus on the importance of these initiatives in enhancing Pasco County's transportation framework and addressing the growing needs of its residents. Further details from the micromobility study will be incorporated into the final strategic plan as it nears completion.
