"We identified 4 noteworthy practices, no corrective actions, and 2 recommendations," Erica Thompson of the Federal Highway Administration said during a virtual presentation of the 2025 certification review. The review team visited the TMA earlier in the year and included FHWA and FTA staff.
The team commended Martin County Transit for developing a transit efficiency study and for regional collaboration to improve route connectivity along State Road 1. The MPO's Martin County Development Review Interactive Map was recognized as a noteworthy public-participation tool, and the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged previously named the Martin MPO the 2022 Planning Agency of the Year for its work assisting transportation-disadvantaged residents.
Recommendations from the review called for adding demographic and transit layers to the development-review map to better reflect community needs, and for the MPO to add information to its cost-feasible project list in the long-range transportation plan to demonstrate fiscal constraint more clearly to the public.
After the presentation the board moved and unanimously approved the FHWA certification report.
