Funding the Operations and Replacement Costs of the FDOT ITS Program
The establishment of FDOT's Ten-Year ITS Cost Feasible Plan (ITS CFP) provides $496 million for ITS deployment capital costs. However, there is no provision in the ITS CFP for the funding needs of transportation management center (TMC) staffing and other related expenses to ensure the continuous operation of TMCs, such as electrical and phone bills, software costs, and the replacement of field devices. Frequently, Districts relied on District-allocated funds to cover these expenses. To ensure the proper operation of ITS deployments, additional funds were needed.
In an effort to gauge the magnitude of the operational expenses needed, questionnaires were sent to all Districts asking them to identify anticipated staffing levels at TMCs, operational expenses expected at the TMCs, and software expenses. The current inventory of ITS devices already deployed and devices expected to be deployed within the next 10 years were studied in order to project the future replacement of devices according to average life cycle calculations. The information and assistance provided by the Districts was instrumental in developing preliminary operational estimates.
As expected, Districts had different concepts of operations, leading to different staffing needs and widely varying funding needs. The numbers provided by the District questionnaires became the basis for a funding category titled District Identified Needs. Standardization of these District Identified Needs provided another funding level titled Proposed Funding Levels.
The Proposed Funding Levels consist of standardized recommendations for staffing levels and associated personnel costs of TMCs operating on 24 hour/7 day and 16 hour/5 day schedules. A standardized funding level for TMC operational expenses was also calculated for 24 hour/7 day and 16 hour/5 day service. Additionally, software costs were standardized as part of the Proposed Funding Level calculations. Standard life cycles and replacement costs were calculated for devices to allow replacement projections.
The District Identified Needs and the Proposed Funding Level numbers were presented to the FDOT Executive Board on July 13, 2004. Realizing the importance of funding the operations and replacement of ITS deployments, the Executive Board approved the Proposed Funding Levels setting aside $140 million from the FDOT Work Program to fund these areas for the next 10 years. This money accounts for funding a core level of services for operations. The Districts are free to supplement this funding level with District-allocated funds should they want levels of service above the core or baseline.
The decision to fund operations and replacement costs of ITS deployments marks a major accomplishment for the FDOT ITS Program. This long-term financial commitment will ensure the proper operation of our major investments.

Register Now for Transpo2004 — Border Wars!
Building Bridges to Overcome Barriers
The third in a series of outstanding transportation conferences and expositions in the Southeast U.S.
Sponsored by ITS Florida and Florida Section ITE, ITS Georgia and Georgia Section ITE, Florida and Georgia Departments of Transportation, and the Federal Highway Administration.
December 5–8, 2004
Adam’s Mark Hotel
Jacksonville, Florida
Following in the tradition of Transpo2000 and 2002, ITS Florida and the Florida Section (Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) – along with their counterpart Georgia associations, and state and federal partners from Florida and Georgia – are bringing together the best and the brightest in ITS, traffic operations, transportation planning, and traffic incident and emergency management in the southeastern region of the U.S for technical presentations, exciting discussions and networking, professional training, and a dynamite technical exhibition. We are proud to invite you to attend Transpo2004!
Transportation professionals throughout the southeastern U.S., and indeed nationally, will join us for the most comprehensive transportation conference and advanced technology exhibition in the region since 2001 when ITS was showcased by ITS America in Miami and ITE held its International Meeting in Orlando this past August 2-4. Attendees can get professional development hours and have a great time in Jacksonville only two months before SuperBowl XXXIX.
Attendees will experience “best practices” exhibits and demonstrations to learn more about the latest ITS and traffic management and operations products and services that will help them perform their jobs better.
Commissioner Harold Linnenkohl of the Georgia Department of Transportation and Secretary José Abreu of the Florida Department of Transportation will be opening the conference as keynote speakers. These leaders are both strong supporters of transportation management and operations.
Commissioner Linnenkohl is leading Governor Sonny Perdue’s “Fast Forward Transportation Program” (Fast Forward), which will provide accelerated funding totaling $15.5 billion for transportation improvements statewide, and $340 million for ITS in the greater Atlanta area. Fast Forward accelerates many programmed projects from 18 to 6 years by using capital generated through bond sales.
Secretary Abreu recently championed Governor Bush’s realization of the Strategic Intermodal System, which may be a unique new commitment to transportation priorities in the nation.
This is a one-time opportunity to learn more about these two programs that are setting new and exciting standards for solid commitments to advanced transportation systems.
The Transpo2004 technical program will have four tracks, which are identified as follows, along with topics recommended by the conference leadership:
Track 1 – |
Track 2 – |
|
|
Track 3 – |
Track 4 – |
|
|
Traveler Information Across Borders Much of the conference agenda will be taken up with these topics, and others that are offered as the preparations continue. The last conference day, Wednesday, December 8, has a wealth of thought-provoking sessions. First, is an opportunity to hear from our future leaders – the Young Professionals Forum – will give award and scholarship competitors and winners their “moment in the sun” to describe their innovative ideas and research.
Next, several multi-state and inter-jurisdictional alliances will extol the advantages of regional collaboration among states and other travel-demand originators. Alliances, like the I-95 Corridor Coalition, will explain how an informal vision of cooperation among 15 states, and a number of other transportation and public safety agencies along the eastern seaboard, can lead to excellence in the practice of traffic, incident, and emergency management.
The closing session will be a great opportunity to learn about new business opportunities in the exciting new era of modern transportation. Leaders from the federal, state, and local levels will offer their visions of the exciting opportunities awaiting us under the new legislative mantle.
Special events will include a super golf tournament at a world-class course on Sunday afternoon and a networking opportunity to “break the ice” on Sunday evening at the opening reception. To really “kick-off” the conference, Transpo2004 registered participants may purchase tickets (limited to four per registered person) for the Jacksonville Jaguars versus Pittsburg Steelers NFL football game on Sunday evening at Alltel Stadium, which will immediately follow the Ice Breaker Reception.
Monday evening will feature a reception in the exhibit hall, followed by an evening on your own to enjoy the beautiful City of Jacksonville. Tuesday evening will begin with another reception, followed by the formal Transpo2004 Banquet. The host sponsors, ITS Florida and the Florida Section ITE, will use this occasion to induct their new officers and to acknowledge excellence by awarding worthy members and students with recognition of their outstanding achievements for the common good. National association leaders will offer greetings from ITS America and ITE.
Transpo2004 is sponsoring the following technical tours on Wednesday afternoon:
- FDOT District 2 Regional Transportation Management Center, Florida Highway Patrol Regional Dispatch Center, and City of Jacksonville Traffic Control Center, all in one tour;
- Alltel Stadium, to see preparations for SuperBowl XXXIX;
- Jacksonville International Airport, to see their security measures; and
- A fuel tanker roll-over recovery demonstration, co-sponsored by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise and the Florida Statewide Traffic Incident Management Program.
There will also be a training opportunity on Wednesday afternoon. ITE will sponsor the training course, "Laws, Rules and Ethics," that is required for P.E. registration, and periodically for re-registration.
Finally, on Thursday, the Florida Statewide Traffic Incident Management Teams will hold their quarterly meeting at the Adam’s Mark. All Transpo2004 attendees are cordially invited to attend, particularly incident managers from Georgia and elsewhere. For more information on the Florida Traffic Incident Management Program, including the service patrol program, visit their Web site at www.dot.state.fl.us/trafficoperations/ and click on Incident Management and Road Rangers.
Transpo2004 offers a wealth of opportunities for ITS professionals; transportation planners, engineers, and operators; and incident managers, including those in the law enforcement, fire rescue, emergency medical services, and other public safety professions.

Editorial Corner — Colocation in Regional Transportation Management Centers
The FDOT is in the process of constructing a number of regional traffic management centers (RTMCs) across the state. These RTMCs will allow the FDOT to monitor traffic movement on major highways and to address incidents as they occur. The objective of the RTMCs is to identify and assist in clearance of highway incidents as quickly as possible to keep traffic flowing at an optimal level.
Ideally, operators of all transportation facilities, law enforcement agencies, and incident responders within a metropolitan area should have their incident response functions located in the same facility. Besides the cost efficiencies associated with utilizing a shared resource, i.e. capital, operation, and maintenance costs, other efficiencies can be realized through colocation. One of the main benefits is a reduction in response times. According to Jack Whaley of Houston TranStar©, “combining emergency management and transportation personnel has led to better responses to incidents in a quicker timeframe.” TransGuide™ in San Antonio has realized similar benefits from colocation. Colocation can break down institutional barriers. When conflicts between agencies do occur, they are easier to handle and can be resolved in a quicker manner. When the involved parties are co-located in one RTMC, it facilitates enhanced communication in all aspects of transportation management. Agencies working closely together in one RTMC typically produce a more consistent, unified response to a situation, increasing the overall effectiveness of the transportation resource. According to the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 520: Sharing Information Between Public Safety and Transportation Agencies for Traffic Incident Management by the Transportation Research Board, colocation strengthens interagency relationships and trust. Daily face-to-face interaction fosters team building and facilitates problem identification and resolution.
The FDOT has reached, or is in the process of reaching, agreements with other transportation and law enforcement agencies to co-locate their respective incident response functions within the FDOT’s RTMC. The purpose being to facilitate regional coordination across the various agencies that are responsible for different aspects of the same regional transportation system, thus allowing better response and resolution to incidents. However, this is not the case in all areas of the state where RTMCs are being planned. The degree of co-locating transportation and incident responders varies across the state.
In Orlando, the FDOT’s RTMC also houses the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) and is in negotiation with the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority to house its traffic management system when it is implemented. The City of Orlando has its own traffic management center (TMC), but FDOT has secondary control over their system.
In Miami , FHP is co-located with FDOT in the District’s new RTMC that became operational this past June. However, the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority has plans to staff its own TMC. In Broward County, FDOT is co-locating with the county’s Traffic Operations Office.
In Jacksonville, the FDOT has its RTMC in the Jacksonville urban office located at the intersection of Interstates 10 and 95. Both FHP and the City of Jacksonville have separate TMCs. Although there are plans for the FDOT to have secondary control over the other systems, this is still being negotiated.
There are no RTMCs in the Tampa Bay area at this time. Plans include the Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway Authority's construction of a facility which will be operational within a year and will also house the city system and the Turnpike Enterprise’s Toll Office. FDOT’s District 7 is planning its own RTMC and expects it to be operational by 2007. They will be co-located with FHP. Hillsborough County is also planning its own facility.
RTMCs are being planned for other metropolitan areas of the state as well. It would seem reasonable that, in order to take advantage of economies of scale and to have traffic/incident management systems that are being operated most efficiently and effectively, all incident response agencies should be co-located within one RTMC in each metropolitan area of the state. Ideally, if a major incident should occur on the state highway system within an urban area, FDOT should be able to route traffic onto the local system or onto an expressway facility and monitor the movement of that traffic. It is imperative that the response agencies be able to communicate their respective actions and this can best occur if all parties are located in the same room. It appears that the planning and implementation of RTMCs is not being coordinated between governmental agencies to best serve the traveling public or efficiently utilize public funds.
It is imperative that the FDOT exhaust all efforts to include every traffic management and incident response organization in a region in the planning of RTMCs, and to encourage them to locate their operations within the center. Legislation may be required to facilitate the colocation of the varying organizations. The Florida Transportation Commission stands ready to help the FDOT and the rest of the ITS community to facilitate the colocation of transportation agencies and incident responders.

A Message From Bob Namoff
To my fellow commissioners and friends:
Over the past several months I have had several events take place that have made it difficult for me to continue to travel and participate in commission events, as I have over the last several years. With the passing of my dad in April, my mother is having a rough time coping with the loss and needs constant attention. In addition, I have developed a medical condition know as Tinnitus (a constant loud ringing in one ear) caused by genetics and living on the edge (business stress) over the last 30 years. This must be a sign from above, that its time to slow down. I will greatly miss the friendships that I have developed and the respect the commission has among staff and the FDOT. I will continue to stay involved in the statewide political scene and, of course, will try to keep up with transportation initiatives in Florida. I have a great feeling of accomplishment in that we enacted new laws for the trucking industry that made the states roads safer and we made a concerted effort to keep ITS projects moving within the FDOT so Florida stays the leader in ITS projects and measurement of those projects. I will continue to lobby for getting more money for FDOT folks, professionals that need to be recognized for their effort and accomplishments. I hope to stay in touch with all of you so that one day, if conditions change, I could return. Thank you for your support over the last several years and I hope to see you during my travels in the coming months.
Warmest Regards,
Bob Namoff
