Trends and Conditions Research

The Florida Statutes (F.S.) mandate that state agencies conduct Trends and Conditions analysis in their annual Long Range Program Plan (LRPP). "by analyzing the trends and conditions, goals and objectives, and current facilities inventory, each agency and the judicial branch shall determine its unmet and forecasted future needs." [216.0158(1), F.S.] As a support to the 2025 Florida Transportation Plan (FTP), the Short Range Components (SRC) and the LRPP, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Trends and Conditions process is a continuing effort that assesses the needs of stakeholders as well as monitoring the external and internal environment. Knowledge of key trends and conditions assists policy makers by identifying trends that should be acknowledged as entities prepare their long range transportation plans. With this information, policy makers and transportation professionals will be better equipped to make wise and informed decisions. This project addresses the key trends and conditions of Florida's transportation system. The project includes 5 major tasks in 2005, designed to provide planners and policy makers with supportive information and analysis.
