In order to qualify for state Public Transportation Block Grant funds (approximately <br />$400,000/year in Indian River County), MPOs in the state of Florida must adopt a Transit <br />Development Plan (TDP) Major Update. Indian River County's next Major Update is <br />scheduled to be submitted to FDOT in 2018.
