MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Marci Larson, North Florida Transportation
Planning Organization (North Florida TPO)
 |
|
The North Florida Transportation Planning Organization (North Florida TPO)
is the independent regional transportation planning agency created by federal law for Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns counties. The agency leads our region's efforts in planning, funding and mobilizing resources to develop and maintain our transportation system.
Plans and programs include: the regional long range transportation plan updated every five years, five-year transportation Improvement Program updated annually, annual traffic count and mobility reports, coalitions for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and clean fuels, bicycle and pedestrian studies; freight mobility, cool to pool commuter services car and vanpool program, public private partnerships, and global trade and transportation. The TPO is governed by a 15-member board of elected officials and transportation agency representatives. They rely on advice and recommendations from several committees, each having a unique perspective and area of expertise: Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) is comprised of primarily planners and engineers representing various local governments within the TPO boundary who evaluate the technical sufficiency, accuracy and viability of proposed plans; the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is a volunteer body of residents and business people who review transportation plans from a community perspective, and the Duval County Transportation Disadvantaged Coordinating Board (TD Board) provides oversight of the community transportation coordinator and transportation services for the transportation disadvantaged. Broad public involvement is a key part of the transportation planning process. The North Florida TPO seeks citizen input and provides information through our website, public workshops, newsletters and presentations to community, business and civic groups. The TPO works closely with the Florida Department of Transportation, JTA, the port authorities in Duval and Nassau Counties, the airport and aviation authorities in St. Johns and Duval Counties and elected officials in the four-county area.
The North Florida TPO has been a member of the First Coast Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for the past decade. Marci Larson, Public Affairs Manager, attends meetings and the annual scholarship luncheon of which the TPO has provided sponsor support. The nine-member TPO staff has a very broad and extended range of transportation experience. Executive Director, Jeff Sheffield has been with the TPO 25 years serving as executive director since 2009.
