Comprehensive Plan <br />Transportation Element <br />INTRODUCTION <br />Transportation is a key component of every community's infrastructure. While a community's <br />transportation system connects land uses within the community, it also connects the community <br />to other areas in the state, country, and world. <br />The transportation system itself consists of several components. These components include: the <br />roadway or traffic circulation system; the transit system; the pedestrian/bicycle system; and the <br />air/water port system. Each plays a vital role in creating a coordinated transportation system. <br />In Indian River County, as in most jurisdictions, the traffic circulation system is the most visible <br />component of the transportation system. The traffic circulation system is particularly significant <br />because it not only provides for travel needs within and through the county, but it also provides <br />direct access to land parcels, residences and businesses. Consequently, the relationship between <br />land use and transportation is of great consequence. <br />Generally, travel patterns and transportation demand result from land use patterns. For that <br />reason, the location and intensity of development determine the number, length, and routing of <br />trips which determine the need for transportation system improvements. On the other hand, <br />transportation improvements, themselves, can influence development patterns. For example, <br />building roads and providing access to undeveloped areas can increase the development potential <br />of an area. <br />For these reasons, coordination between transportation planning and land use planning is <br />important. The intent of this element is to recognize these travel patterns and effectively address <br />transportation issues in Indian River County. <br />BACKGROUND <br />In 1990, the Census Bureau designated the city of Vero Beach and the densely populated area <br />around the city as an urbanized area. By definition, an urbanized area is a census designation <br />determined by concentrations of population. In 2004, the Indian River County urbanized area <br />changed as a result of the 2000 census. Now known as the Vero Beach/Sebastian urbanized area, <br />this area is defined by the Urbanized Area Boundary (UAB) shown in Figure 4.1. <br />Within Indian River County, the Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization <br />(MPO) is the organization responsible for regional transportation planning. Although the MPO <br />is a separate organization, the MPO shares staff members and other resources with the county. <br />As a result, coordination between the county and the MPO in the preparation and implementation <br />of this element and other plans is truly cooperative. In carrying out its role as the regional <br />transportation planning agency in the county, the MPO has used county staff and resources to <br />produce many plans. These plans include a 2030 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan <br />(adopted December 200-52015), a Congestion Management System Plan (adopted May <br />20040ctober 2009), a Bicycle -Pedestrian Plan (adopted July-2004February 2015), and a Transit <br />Development Plan (adopted September--2408August 2017 and revised annually). The MPO has <br />also developed and calibrated a countywide transportation planning model. <br />Community Development Department Indian River County <br />APPENDIX A — Transportation Amendments <br />5 <br />
