Complete Streets Implementation/ Implementation Plan

Implementation Plan

In 2015, FDOT embarked on a journey to change the way we think about our transportation system. Spurred by the 2014 adoption of our Complete Streets Policy and concurrent with revisions to the Florida Transportation Plan, the Department engaged SmartGrowth America to facilitate a series of Complete Streets-focused workshops. The workshops included a selection of external partners as well as FDOT. Representatives from local and regional governments, industry trade groups, developers, and other experts had seats at the table and participated fully in the discussions and revelations of the workshops. The meetings made it clear that a 21st Century FDOT had to change "business as usual" practices to put context first. As FDOT Secretary Jim Boxold likes to put it, we have to put the right street in the right place. The days of "one size fits all" design are over.

The Complete Streets Implementation Plan (PDF), released in December 2015, is our playbook for changing everything we do, so we can put context at the center of our decision-making. It prescribes detailed chapter-and-verse edits to the dozen key FDOT manuals and guides that control the bulk of FDOT's planning, design, and operations

The meeting minutes, presentations, and agendas for the workshops are provided below, for anyone interested in seeing what FDOT saw, thought, and said about our Complete Streets transformation. Moving ahead, FDOT is guided by a timeline of specific updates and products through 2017, each of which is completes part of the Implementation Plan.
