BAY COUNTY TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN, 2003-2007. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) has produced a five-year Transit Development Plan TDP) for the Panama City Urbanized Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Each transit property in Florida that receives State Transit Block Grant funding is required to prepare a TDP to ensure that the provision of public transportation service is consistent with the travel needs and mobility goals of the community. The preparation of the TDP is aimed at encouraging the consideration of strategic issues, mobility needs within the context of overall planning and development efforts, and prioritization of needs in the form of staged implementation plan. Relevant plan features include an emphasis on transit's role at the community level and explicit consideration of external factors affecting the viability of the transit system. Several concepts of strategic planning, such as vision, external orientation, and future focus, are applicable in the preparation of a TDP.
