Each year the population of Leon County continues to grow. To meet the needs of the growing population, the City and County are seeking resources to fund transportation options that enhance mobility and movement of residents and visitors. The Alternative Mobility Funding Systems Study (AMFSS) reviewed the existing funding system and recommended enhancements that would promote mobility for all users.
A significant component of the AMFSS was public outreach and participation that ensured the citizenry was given full consideration in the decision-making process. WGI conducted over fifty stakeholder meetings, facilitated a public workshop in the charrette format, presented midterm findings to the Network of Entrepreneurs and Business Advocates, and hosted a table at the Downtown Market. All feedback received during this extensive outreach process influenced the final recommendation.
Key features of the AMFSS include:
- Community input
- Evaluation of existing plans
- Population growth projections
- Identification of improvements for walking, biking, driving, and taking transit
- Assessment of new transportation technologies
- A review of funding alternatives
- Recommendations for funding transportation
