Key West Transit Development Plan FY2025-2034

Introduction and Purpose

Chapter 10: Plan Implementation and Coordination for Key West: On the Move This chapter presents the Key West 10-Year TDP Major Update Financial and Implementation. The Plan identifies the funded service and capital improvements, as well as the unfunded needs. This section also documents capital and operating cost and revenue assumptions. A phased implementation plan is also presented to support the implementation of service and capital priorities and to identify staff resources and potential partnerships over the horizon year of the plan, FY 2034. 1.3 TDP Requirements: Being a recipient of state Public Transit Block Grant funds, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) necessitates a significant update of the KWT TDP every five years. Essential requirements include: » Completing major updates every five years » Developing and approving a Public Involvement Plan (PIP) » Notifying relevant entities of public meetings » Estimating the community’s demand for transit service over ten years An additional requirement added by the Florida Legislature in 2007 mandates transit agencies to address potential enhancements to productivity and performance, specifically focusing on increasing the farebox recovery ratio. This entails including a summary report on the farebox recovery ratio and related strategies in each TDP and annual update.

Chapter 8: Transit Needs & Priorities Development and Alternatives Evaluation This chapter delves into the development of Transit Needs & Priorities, outlining the process for assessing potential improvements for the Transit Development Plan (TDP). The identified improvements for Key West Transit services, indicative of transit needs for the next decade, were formulated without considering funding constraints. An Alternatives Evaluation process is discussed, wherein identified improvements were prioritized using a dedicated evaluation process. The resulting ranking of alternatives forms the basis for the 10-year implementation plan presented in Chapter 9. Chapter 9: 10-Year Transit Plan for KWT’s Bus Transit Service This chapter summarizes the 10-Year Transit Plan, outlining recommended service, capital, technology, and policy improvements, along with unfunded needs. It includes a discussion of revenue assumptions, capital, and operating costs. The 10-year phased implementation plan is then summarized, featuring a set of programmed service, capital/technology, and policy improvements for the upcoming decade. Additionally, improvements that may not be funded immediately but should be considered if additional funding becomes available are listed.
