Hearing
CONSIDERATIONS:
The City of Winter Springs is the Applicant seeking the Comprehensive Plan Text Amendments
to the Future Land Use Element and the Transportation Element. These Amendments
incorporate into the Comprehensive Plan the recently adopted update to the transportation study
known as "Supplement No.3, February 2005" and include revisions to the existing text,
removing inconsistencies relating to the Town Center transportation network. No new policies
were added. Although City Code Section 15-33. states that updates to the Comprehensive plan
are not considered amendments, this submittal includes some revisions beyond the update.
Text was revised and inconsistencies relating to the implementation of the Town Center
transportation network were removed.
The City's Transportation Study was completed in 1997. The 1997 Study identified some potential
deficiencies in the transportation infrastructure of the City of Winter Spring's local system for the
projected 2010 traffic loadings. These potential deficiencies were corrected by projects performed
by FDOT and Seminole County. No major deficiencies were identified for 2010 for the roadways
controlled by the City of Winter Springs. In subsequent updates (Supplement No.1, December 1999
and Supplement No.2, February 2001), the Traffic Study was updated by traffic counts and changes
in projects.
Supplement No.3, February 2005 updated the 1997 Study and Supplements No.1, December
1999 and No.2, February 2001 to acknowledge roadway improvements completed by FDOT,
Seminole County and the City of Winter Springs. No changes were made to the land use or
existing uses. New computer modeling was not performed nor were counts made on City
roadways. Proposed development of vacant areas with known and projected projects was
April 25, 2005
Public Hearing Item 403
included. The data was presented to allow for a comparison of where the City was in 1996 and
where the City is today. Roadway capacities were updated based on FDOT 2002 Level of Service
Handbook (the latest edition on this reference/manual).
The roadway collector system identified in Supplement No.1, December 1999, was expanded to
serve more of the City. Additional roads falling into the collector road status are the result of the
proposed Town Center street network. A recent traffic model completed by Walter Kulash of
Glatting Jackson, demonstrates that the Town Center collector road network will increase the
performance ofS.R. 434. All ofthe collector roads included in Supplement 3 have been added to the
proposed Transportation Element Amendment. Supplement 3 verifies that the projections of the
1997 Study were reasonably accurate and that the City's concurrency efforts are effective. Based on
available information, the City network is operating within normal parameters and within established
goals/capacities. Existing and future roadway project needs were updated and are included in the
revised tables.
FINDINGS:
(1) The proposed amendment will have a favorable effect on the economy of the City;
(2) The proposed amendment will not diminish the level of service (LOS) of public facilities;
(3) There will not be an unfavorable impact on the environment or the natural or historical
resources of the city or the region as a result of the proposed amendment;
(4) The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the State
Comprehensive Plan set forth in chapter 187, Florida Statutes. Consistency with the East Central
Florida Regional Policy Plan, adopted by Rule 29F-19.001, Florida Administrative Code is no
longer required as this rule was repealed;
(5) The proposed amendment will promote the cost/effective use of public facilities and will not
unduly burden public facilities;
(6) The proposed amendment is compatible with the land use;
(7) The proposed amendment will not cause the comprehensive plan to be internally
inconsistent, but rather, addresses current internal inconsistencies in the plan.
(8) The proposed amendment will not adversely affect the public health, safety, welfare,
economic order, or aesthetics of the city or region; and
(9) The request is consistent with Florida Statute Chapter 163, Part II and Rule 9J-5, Florida
Administrative Code.

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
CHAPTER II
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Winter Springs is located within an urbanized portion of a Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) - Metroplan Orlando. Therefore, the City is required by the State to adopt a
Transportation Element, as opposed to a Traffic Circulation Element, and to coordinate the element
with the long-range transportation plan of the MPO.
The purpose of the Transportation Element is to plan for a multi-modal transportation system that
emphasizes accessibility by placing emphasis on public transportation systems; encourages the
development of compact, pedestrian-oriented urban areas; promotes energy efficient development
patterns; and protects air quality, The City hired Conklin, Porter and Holmes Engineers, Ine. in
1997 to update the traffie study submitted as part of the Comprehensv.T Plan in 1982 2001. The
traffic study was again updated ifl 1999 and 2001. Land Design Innovations, Inc. (LDI) was hired
by the City to put together the Transportation Element, which incorporates the traffic portion
prepared by CPH, and abo the pedestrian, bicycle, mass transit and other components of a true
multi modal system,
An essential base for planning a transportation system is the Future Land Use Element, The Future
Land Use Map will determine where new or improved transportation facilities may be needed, The
Transportation Element will assess the condition and capacity of the existing transportation
facilities, project future needs, set Levels of Service (LOS) standards for roads and determine future
system improvements, Roadway level of service standards will be established to ensure that
adequate facility capacity for future development is concurrendy sufficient with the issuance of
development orders and development permits. These standards will be established for each
roadway link consistent with the facility type, and current Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) LOS guidelines,
The transportation planning process in Seminole County is a joint effort among various federal,
state, regional, county and municipal agencies working together with the MPO. This agency ensures
that highways, public transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and other transportation facilities are coordinated
and planned consistent with planned development in the urbanized area.
MetroPlan Orlando prepares the Orlando Urban Area Transportation Study (OUA TS) Year 2020
Transportation Plan Update, a 20-year multi-modal plan for guiding transportation improvements in
the Orlando urban area (Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties), The plan is based on regional
needs identified through the process of forecasting future travel demand, evaluating system
alternatives, and selecting those options which best meet the mobility needs of the region. The plan
recommends road, highway, beltway, rail, and transit system improvements to be implemented by
2020. The plan represents the best combination of financial resources and improvements to meet
the goals and objectives of the study.
B. INVENTORY
An efficient transportation system should provide access to various land uses through alternative
transportation modes. The overview of the existing multi-modal transportation system within the
II-1
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
City of Winter Springs provides the basis for analyzing existing transportation deficiencies and needs
within the City.
This section will identify existing roadway and transit facilities, availability of public parking facilities,
airport and rail line systems, availability of bicycle and pedestrian facilities and other ancillary
services and programs.
1. Road System
This section describes the major roadway facilities within the City and their relative function
to the City's circulation system. The main roads in and around the City are the Greeneway,
S,R. 434, S.R. 419, U,S. 17-92, Red Bug Lake Road, and Tuskawilla Road. Located in south-
central Seminole County in a suburban residential setting, the City's major roadways provide
access to neighboring towns for Winter Springs residents and employees and facilitate the
flow of traffic. All the major roads in the City are listed on Table II- 1 and displayed on Map
II - 1. The following is a description of the major roadways in the City of Winter Springs.
· Central Florida Greeneway (S.R. 417): The Greeneway is a north-south Principal
Arterial located along the eastern boundary of the City, which provides access to
Sanford to the north and Orange County to the south. In Seminole County, it is
currently a four-lane divided facility that serves traffic coming into and out of the
County.
· U.S. 17-92' North-south principal arterial located along the west boundary of the
City. It connects with Sanford to the north and Orange County to the south. The
route passes through Orlando, Winter Park, Maitland, Casselberry, Longwood,
Winter Springs, Lake Mary and Sanford. It is currently a six-lane undivided facility
within the City of Winter Springs, and four lanes north of Shepard Road.
· S.R. 434: A principal arterial that runs from Edgewater Drive near Orlando to
Altamonte Springs, then east to Oviedo, and then south to East Colonial Drive. S.R.
434 within the City of Winter Springs is a four-lane facility.
· S.R. 419: A minor arterial that runs from S.R. 434 in Winter Springs to U.S, 17-92
near Lake Mary. Within the City of Winter Springs, it is a two-lane undivided facility.
· Tuskawilla Road: A County minor arterial that runs from S.R. 434 in Winter
Springs to S.R. 426 near the Orange County line. This road is currently being
widened to a four-lane facility.
a. Jurisdiction and Maintenance Responsibility
Map II - 1 show the jurisdictional responsibility of each roadway in the City of Winter
Springs. Thc map was prcparcd in 1997 by CPH and docs not reflect the rccent
widcning of U.S. 17 92 to six lancs south of Shepard Road.
There are four state arterials, S,R. 417, U.S. 17-92, S.R. 434 and S.R, 419; and one
County arterial, Tuskawilla Road, There are two County collectors (East Lake Drive

and a portion of Shepard Road), and nineteen (19) twenty-nine (29) City collectors
included in the classification.
b. Functional Classification
Table II- 1 and Map II- 1 show the functional classification of major roads in the
City of Winter Springs, The functional classification of public roads in this element
is based on FDOT criteria, which considers quantitative and qualitative factors such
as jurisdiction, land access, route length, and trip lengths. A road hierarchy is used to
identify relative importance of roads within the system, provide guidance for level of
service and design standards, aid in establishing improvement priorities, identify
maintenance responsibility, and assist in determining funding and financing policies.
The hierarchy used in this element includes:
(1) Limited Access Facilities: DeJigned to provide regional mobility via
uninterrupted flow at high travel speedJ for regional tripJ. AcceJJ spacing iJ
generallY on the order ~l one mile or more, and average travel speedJ are above 40
mileJ per hour. There iJ no direct land aaeJJ, and urban freewqyJ are multi-lane,
divided facilitieJ. Lane acceJJ iJ alwqyJ via ramPJ to mqjor arterialJ or frontage
roadJ. S.R 417, Central Florida Greenewqy, which iJ part of the Florida
IntraJtate Highwqy SYJtem (tiHS), zs the onlY limited aCceJJ facility within the
City of Winter S pringJ.
f21 Arterials: Provide regional mobility via both uninterrupted flow and interrupted

c. Constrained Facilities
Section 339,155, Florida Statutes, makes governmental police powers available to
preserve and protect property necessary for transportation corridors and
recommends that needed right-of-way be acquired as far in advance of construction
as possible, FDOT requests that local governments identify constrained roadways in
their comprehensive plans to ensure maintenance of the operating conditions, so
that significant degradation in the level of service does not occur. A constrained

roadway is one in which adding two or more through lanes to meet current or future
needs is not possible due to physical, environmental or policy barriers.
The City and the County have not identified any constrained roads within the City
limits.
d. Accident Locations
Accident analysis is critical because it provides a tool for City and state officials to
recommend appropriate safety measures. Accident frequency along with roadway
performance can be used to prioritize future roadway needs. Table II- 2 shows
accident data for the period be~'ccn May 2000 and May 2001 2004, compiled by the
Winter Springs Police Department. It shows those road segments with 5 accidents
or more during that year, The road segment with the largest number of accidents
was S.R. 434 at S.R. 419 Tuskawilla Road with H 34 accidents,
e, Signalized Intersections
The location of signalized intersections is shown on Map II- 2. Most of the
intersections in the City use stop signs rather than traffic signals, Traffic lights are
located mainly along S.R. 434.
f. Evacuation Routes
The City of Winter Springs adopted the Peace Time Emergency Plan in 1997. The
plan outlines responsibilities for all departments in the City in the case of a man-
made or natural disaster of local scale. For large-scale disasters, the City follows the
County's Comprehensive Emergency Plan. This plan does not identify evacuation
routes, as Seminole County is a "receiving area", but lists the shelters available.
There are CUrf'efitly 2 shelters ill Winter Springs (Winter Springs High School and
H~hlands Elemefitary School). All schools in Winter Springs can serve as shelter
sites.
2. Public Transit System
The fixed route bus transit system in Seminole County is operated by LYNX, which serves
three counties.
There is currently one bus transit route serving the City of Winter Springs, Route #39, and
one route that goes to the Oviedo Marketplace area (Route #47). Route 39 runs along U,S,
17-92 from Fern Park to Sanford, There are fiO eovered bus stops in the City. Map II- 3
shows the bus transit route, major transit generators and attractors, and transit service area
(estimated at 1/4 mile distance from transit route). Table II- 3 shows the public transit
characteristics and ridership figures for fiscal years 1995/96 to 2000/01.
The major transit generators/ attractors in and around the City of Winter Springs include the
U,S. 17-92 commercial corridor, the Oviedo Marketplace commercial area, schools and
public offices. In the future, the Town Center and Greenway Interchange mixed-use areas
will also become major traffic attractors.

3. Parking System
At this time, the City of Winter Springs does not have or ficcd any significant public parking
facilities.
4. Bicycle System
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Greenways and Trails
owns, and has sub-leased to Seminole County, the Cross Seminole Trail, a portion of which
is located in Winter Springs. The Seminole County Parks and Recreation Department is in
charge of maintaining the trail. An Interlocal Agreement exists between the City of Winter
Springs and Seminole County regarding use and maintenance of the Cross Seminole Trail.
The City of Winter Springs Parks and Recreation Department assisted with the design of the
restroom facility located at the Black Hammock trailhead, located within the jurisdictional
limits of the City, and is responsible for the maintenance and cleaning of the restroom
facility.
The trail currently runs from Gardenia Avenue in Winter Springs to the intersection of State
Road 434 and State Road 426 in downtown Oviedo, but will eventually run from Spring
Hammock Preserve in Winter Springs to Howell Branch Road at the Orange County Line
and will connect 5 parks: Central Winds Park, Sweetwater Creek Park, Torcaso Park, Lawton
House Park, and Spring Hammock. The trail will also connect ~ seven schools: Layer
Elementary, Winter Springs High School, Indian Trails Middle School, Keeth Elementary,
Trinity Preparatory School, Oviedo High School, and Lawton Elementary. When complete,
the Cross Seminole Trail will be 14 miles long, and will eventually connect to the Seminole
Wekiva Trail, creating a 30-mile continuous trail through Altamonte Springs, Longwood,
Lake Mary, Winter Springs, and Oviedo; and with the Cady Way Trail and the Orange
County Trail System,
Funding for the Cross Seminole Trail has been given priority status by Metroplan Orlando,
However, the funds will not be available until 2007 for this project. The Seminole County
Greenways and Trails Office is currently exploring the possibility of using funds from the
"Completing the Trails Connection" referendum to advance this project to be reimbursed in
2007, Map II- 4 shows the existing and future bike lanes and bike paths/sidewalks, as
presented in the plan. The City docs not ha.T a local bicyclc plan,
5. Pedestrian System
The City docs fiat keep is currently working on an inventory of pedestrian facilities, e:{eept
as part of thc Cross Scminole Trail mastcr plafi (see above). Sidewalks are found along most
roads. The majority of the City's residential neighborhoods currently have sidewalk facilities.
6. Intermodal Facilities
Intermodal facilities are those transportation elements that accommodate and interconnect
different modes of transportation and serve interstate, intrastate and international movement
of people and goods, Some facilities considered intermodal include ports, airports, bus
stations and train terminals. The Intermodal Surface Efficiency Act (ISTEA) legislation
encourages the provision of efficient access to these intermodal facilities.
II-S
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
There are no public airports within the City limits. The closest public airport is the Orlando-
Sanford Airport in Sanford.
The County is serviced by Greyhound Transportation Services with a bus terminal in
Sanford,
The City of Winter Springs has only one active rail line within the City limits. It is operated
by CSX and runs along S.R. 419 and terminates ftf just east of Wade Street, within the Winter
Springs Industrial Park. It is used for freight trains only.
The City of Winter Springs is located along the south shore of Lake J esup, The lake is
currently used for recreational boating and fishing. It is not used for transportations
purposes.
C. TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS
Transportation can have a major role shaping the spatial and functional organization of a
community. It can determine the size, scale, status and identity of a community. However, there are
other contributing factors that need to be considered, such as the personal, social, physical,
environmental, economic and cultural attributes of the community. This section will analyze
existing conditions of the transportation system to provide a comprehensive assessment of the
various transportation facilities and services, and their relationship with existing land uses.
This section will also address growth trends, travel patterns, and interactions between land use and
transportation, including the compatibility between future land uses and transportation systems.
Winter Springs is an integral part of the Orlando Urban Area. Additionally, the City is one of the
larger municipalities within Seminole County and is located between two principal arterials, S.R. 434
and Red Bug Lake Road. As such, transportation planning for Winter Springs requires close
cooperation with other planning efforts within the Orlando region and Seminole County. For this
reason, the transportation planning methodology used to develop the transportation plan must
necessarily be compatible with transportation methodologies in adjacent jurisdictions. In order to
accomplish this requirement, extensive use of data sources and planning models from the Orlando
Urban Area Transportation Study (OUATS) and the Seminole County Transportation Management
Program (TMP) were used in the development of the Winter Springs Transportation Plan,
Existing deficiencies on city, county and state systems were defmed and Capital Improvement
Programs identified to resolve these transportation deficiencies. Forecasts of anticipated land
use/ socio-economic activities for 2010 were made and the validated transportation models applied
against them. This allowed the definition of future capacity deficiencies so that funding sources can
be developed to correct these deficiencies.
1. Socio- Economic Growth Trends
The 2000 U. S, Census reported a City population of 31,666, and a total of 12,306 dwelling
units. Dwelling unit estimates prepared by CPH show that the City had 12,769 dwelling
units by October 1999 (including existing and permitted), and expects to add approximately
1,985 dwelling units in the next ten years, for a total of 14,754 units by 2010, Population
projections prepared by LDI in 2000. for the City indicate that the City population will grow
to approximately 37,606 residents by the year 2010, and the Shimberg Center for Affordable
II-6
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
Housing estimates a need for additional 4,170 dwelling units in the City, for a total of 16,476
units.
Table II- 4 shows the socio-economic data by TAZ included in the transportation study
prepared by CPH, There are differences in numbers with the City estimates due to the fact
that the CPH study was done prior to the preparation of updated population projections,
The MPO TAZ data also includes projections of employment.
2. Roadway Current Performance
The 1985 Growth Management Act established two important responsibilities for local
governments. The fIrst was to set level of service (LOS) standards for public facilities within
the jurisdiction as part of the comprehensive plan. The second was to ensure that the public
facilities and services proposed in the Capital Improvements Element of the local
comprehensive plan were available concurrent with the development. The Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) requires that adopted level of service standards be achievable and
fmancially feasible. The standards set a minimum service level that the City must maintain
for each of the public facilities, including roadways.
The roadway LOS concept is defmed in the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
Quality /Level of Service Standards Handbook (2002) 1998 Level of Service HRfidbool( as a
qualitative assessment of the road user's perception of the quality of flow, and is measured

y a sca e Olver sat1s act1on. e sca e ranges rom to , wit genera y
representing the most favorable driving conditions and "F" representing the least favorable.
FDOT adopted statewide minimum level of service standards for the State highway system.
The minimum level of service standards are used for planning applications, including the
review of local government plans. The generalized maximum volume tables provided by
FDOT are guidelines recommended for broad planning applications. They are to be used as
a general guide to determine highway level of service and through-lane requirements.
For the purpose of LOS maintenance, the County has been divided into Traff1c Analysis
Zones (TAZs), twenty-ft:ifte of which are in Winter Springs. TAZs are small, internally
homogeneous aggregations of the entire urban area. They range from a City block to areas
encompassing several square miles. Demographic data, such as population, housing,
employment and traff1c, is maintained at the TAZ level to measure existing roadway LOS,
Map II- 5 shows the TAZs within the City of Winter Springs.
Minimum level of service standards recommended for the state system are shown on Table
II- 5. Table II- 6 shows the average annual daily traffIc count results for the period 1996
2001. The standardized descriptions of service levels used in transportation planning are as
follows:
· LOS A - A condition of road performance where traff1c density is very low, with
litde or no restrictions in maneuverability. Drivers can maintain their desired speed
with litde or no delay.
· LOS B - A condition of road performance where traff1c density is low and vehicles
travel with operating speeds somewhat restricted by other vehicles. Drivers still have
reasonable freedom to select their speeds.
II-7
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
LOS C - A performance condition where operating speeds are determined by other
vehicles, permitting a stable traffic flow. Drivers might have limitations to maneuver
and to increase speeds.
LOS D - A condition of road performance where traffic density is high but tolerable.
Fluctuations in traffic volumes may cause reductions in operating speeds. Drivers
have litde freedom to maneuver, In some instances, traffic flows approach unstable
conditions.
LOS E - Represents traffic operation near the roadway capacity or maximum service
volume. Vehicles flow at unstable conditions. Stop-and-go situations may happen.
In freeways or limited access roads, speeds are near thirty (30) miles per hour and
traffic density is high,
LOS F - This condition usually results from long lines of vehicles backing up
because the traffic volume exceeds the roadway capacity. The vehicles are forced to
operate at very low speeds. Stop-and-go situations are frequent and in extreme
cases, vehicles stop for long periods of time.
The +998 2002 FDOT Generalized Tables (see Table II- 7) were used by CPH to evaluate
roadway performance in the City of Winter Springs. A level-of-service analysis was
performed to determine existing deficiencies. The capacity analysis was based on the FDOT
Generalized Peak Hour Directional Maximum Service Volumes for different roadway types.

Table II- 1 and Map II- 6 show the ~ 2004 traffic conditions in the City of Winter
Springs, Current deficiencies were found on U.S. 17-92 from Shepard Road to S.R. 419, and
S.R. 419 from U.S. 17-92 to S.R. 434, The segment of U.S, 17-92 between Shepard Road
and Airport Boulevard is planned for widening to 6 lanes by 2010. The S.R. 419 segment
between Edgemon Avenue and Moss Road is programmed for turn lane improvements in
~ 2004-2005 (See Map II- 6 and Table II- 9).
3. Future Roadway Performance
The Florida Standard Urban Transportation Model Structure (FSUTMS) was used for all of
the city's travel demand forecasting. Consistency with the MetroPlan model (OUA TS) data
and traffic zone structure was maintained through the process in forecasting the city's travel
demand. Table II- 8 shows the 2010 traffic conditions as projected, Most roads ".r.-ill bc
complying with thc lc;el of scrvicc standards noted above. Deficiencies will be found on
U.S. 17-92 north of Shepard Road (even after widening to 6 lanes), S,R. 434 from S.R. 419 to
the Greeneway, and S.R. 419 from U.S. 17-92 to Edgemon Avenue. Improvcments on thcsc
roads arc the rcsponsibility of thc State. The projection does not take into consideration the
additional collector roads added within the Town Center. which will help to alleviate the
projected deficiency. Improvements to U.S. 17-92. S.R. 419 and S.R. 434 are the
responsibility of the State.
The City of Winter Springs has limited fmancial resources to address all of the potential
traffic circulation system needs identified in its Transportation Element. Therefore,
intergovernmental coordination is critical. The MPO provided a list of committed roadway
projects and transportation studies impacting the City of Winter Springs. Table II - 9 shows
the applicable road projects contained in the MPO Transportation Improvements Program
II-8
CIN OF WINTER SPRINGS

(TIP), as well road improvements planned by the MPO beyond the year 2005,
The traffic simulation process was accomplished as noted in the following section.
4. Model Development and Validation
To adequately forecast future traffic conditions in a rapidly urbanizing area such as the City
of Winter Springs, a set of transportation planning models must be developed and validated.
In the case of the City of Winter Springs, such models exist and these models have been
previously used to develop City, regional and county wide plans, These models are
contained in the model set documented for the Orlando Urban Area Transportation Study.
In order to provide the more detailed analysis required for the City of Winter Springs, this
model set was modified, These modifications include the development of a more detailed
TAZ set (microzones), a more detailed highway network, and the use of
TRANSPLAN /FSUTMS model structure, These changes require the validation of the
model set used in this process even though this model set is derived from and closely
resembles the OUA TS model set. This model set has been modified as detailed below.
a. OUATS Model Set
The transportation planning models used in the Orlando Urban Area Transportation
Study have evolved from a set of models developed in the mid-sixties and based
upon extensive home interviews conducted at that time. The model set is divided
into four general functions and modifications to each of these functions have
occurred over the last twenty-five years.
b. Trip Generation
The existing OUA TS trip generation model is a cross-classification person trip
production model with attractions calculated using expressions derived from
regression analysis. This model currently uses 11 purposes including special
generator purposed for the major tourist attractions, the various universities and
colleges in the region, and the Orlando International Airport. The model requires
extensive data not generally available such as the forecast of the median income and
car ownership by zone for the calculation of home-based productions.
c, Trip Distribution
The OUATS trip distribution model utilizes each of the 11 purposes for which
productions and attractions are generated. Friction factors for each of these 11
purposes have been developed, although the special generator purposes generally
borrow friction factors from other purposes. There are not K-factors utilized in the
model.
d. Model Split/Auto Occupancy
The OUA TS model set includes a multi-nominallogit expression for calculation of
splits of trips to the transit sector. Auto occupancy is calculated with simple rates by
II-9
CIN OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
purpose. The model split is system-sensitive in that it requires the coded description
of a transit system.
e. Traffic Assignment
The current OUA TS traffic assignment procedure consists of a 4-iteration
equilibrium assignment with capacity restraint. This process is applied using network
descriptions in accordance with the 1979 version of the Urban Transportation
Planning System (UTPS) developed by the US Department of Transportation.
f. Trip Generation Modifications
In order to make use of the data available from Seminole County and to avoid the
necessity to forecast income and car ownership as required by the OUA TS trip
generation model, modifications were made to this model. The trip generation
models used are based upon the OUATS models, but these models incorporate
simpler rate expressions instead of the more complex cross-classification models.
These models have successfully been used numerous times in the Orlando area
including Casselberry and for Seminole County projects. In addition to the
Transportation Plan and Impact Fee Study in Casselberry, the models were used to
forecast trip generation for the Lake Mary Boulevard Corridor Study and the Lake
Mary/I-4 interchange study for the Florida Department of Transportation. The
models forecast vehicle trips instead of person trips so they additionally do not
require a separate auto occupancy model. The input socio-economic data for the
Winter Springs traffic zones was approved by the City for 1996 and 2010. All other
zones used Seminole County or OUA TS data (in Seminole County),
g. Use of OUA TS 11 Trip Purpose Models
Since trip generation expressions were available for each of the OUA TS non-special
generator purposes, it was decided to use the entire 11 purpose models available in
OUA TS. This required incorporating the special generator expressions available
from OUATS into the Winter Springs Model Set. This use of the full OUATS
model purposes additionally permitted use of the OUA TS friction factors.
5. Public Transit Performance
Public transit improvements offer the potential to significantly increase the capacity of the
transportation network. One average size bus at capacity can carry as many passengers
(approximately 40 persons) as 10 or more private automobiles. Successful transit systems
emphasize the land use and travel demand relationship necessary to address congestion
problems. The most important factors in encouraging transit use are mixed land uses and an
urban form, which provides street connectivity and access to the pedestrian, transit and
bikeway systems.
Transit facilities and multi-modal terminals also are important for the success of the transit
system, These facilities allow for transfers among the various modes within the
transportation system,
11-10
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
Public transit level of service criteria is based on the operational and service characteristics of
the transit system. Operational characteristics include the number of vehicles operated in
maximum service, the amount of service supplied, the average speed, and the number of
days the service is provided. Service characteristics include geographic location and service
area population, These characteristics are monitored by the local transit provider, but the
City could be monitoring levels of service for transit performance based on headway
standards. Headway is the time that separates vehicles moving in the same direction on the
same route or track. The emphasis should be on reducing headways to encourage public
transit ridership.
The LYNX transit route currently serving Winter Springs does not cover all the major traffic
generators/ attractors identified on Map II- 3. In analyzing access to transit service, the City
considers one-quarter mile on either side of the route an adequate maximum distance that
people would be willing to walk to use transit.
6. Other Transportation Systems
The City's current transportation network is based primarily on a road network serving
vehicular traffic, with very little attention given to other means of transportation. The City
needs to start establishing facilities that will encourage the use of alternative transportation
systems.
Parking is an essential component of the overall transportation system. The decision of a
commuter to drive alone or to use alternative transportation modes such as ride-sharing or
public transit depends to a large extent on the cost, accessibility and availability of parking.
As the City grows the need for these types of facilities will increase,
Biryding is a viable mobility alternative. Bicycle networks provide a commuting alternative as
well as a recreational asset. The City has made efforts to establish a bicycle system.
However, the adopted five-year plan was not achieved within that time frame. The existing
bicycle plan will need to be updated to plan for the expansion of the current system.
According to the MPO 2020 plan, it is the policy of FDOT to consider adding bicycle
facilities to arterials, and wide curb lanes to collectors when the roads are improved within
urbanized areas,
Pedestrian mobility is greatly influenced by the mix and proximity of land uses as well as the
availability of adequate sidewalks and other pedestrian facilities, Adequate land uses and
appropriate urban design would encourage walking for short trips and for accessing transit
facilities and services. The City Code currently requires developers to provide sidewalks in
new subdivisions.
7. Future Transportation Plan
This section provides recommendations for creating a safe, convenient, and energy efficient
multi-modal transportation system, coordinated with future land uses, plans and programs of
the Seminole County MPO and FDOT.
Since World War II, roadways have been designed primarily for automobiles, Very little
attention has been given to accommodating other modes of transportation such as bicycles,
II-11
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
pedestrians, and transit. The goal of this Transportation Element is to look at roads as
multi-modal interconnected transportation corridors, and design them accordingly.
Intergovernmental coordination is essential for the most cost-effective provision of
transportation system improvements. Clearly, the City of Winter Springs does not possess
the resources nor is it fiscally responsible for the entire transportation system within the City.
Seminole County and FDOT have fmancial responsibility for county roads and state
highway system roads, respectively. Therefore, it is necessary for the City to review the
transportation improvement plans and programs prepared by the County and FDOT. In
this way, the effort and dollars expended by the City to improve its traffic circulation system
may be complemented and perhaps enhanced by the activities of the County and FDOT.
One area of coordination should include the preservation and protection of rights-of-way
for identified future roadway improvements and construction, With the escalating value of
land and costs entailed in right-of-way acquisition it is essential that the City protect roadway
corridors in advance from building encroachment. Increased right-of-way costs reduce the
funds available for actual construction. The City needs to utilize such techniques as setback
requirements, zoning restrictions, right-of-way protection regulations and official
transportation maps to preserve and protect existing and future rights-of-way. Other
measures are discussed in the policy section.
a, Future Transportation Map
The purpose of a Transportation Map is to graphically depict the location of all
proposed collector and arterial roadways and any limited access facilities, airports, rail
lines, and other related facilities. The main improvement that the City will need to
coordinate with Seminole County is the widening of U.S. 17 92 and S.R. 131.
Map II- 8 presents the proposed Future Transportation Map for the City of Winter
Springs, This map shows the proposed roadway functional classification and
number of lanes for each roadway segment. Roadway capacity is based on the
functional classification and number of lanes. The level of service standard selected
for each roadway was based either on its present or forecasted performance. The
map shows the network as it is planned for the year 2010, with several roads at a
LOS D, which is an acceptable standard, Map II- 7 shows the needed
improvements. Table II- 10, Table II- 11, and Table II- 12 show the roadway
improvement needs by State, County, City or developer funding,
Future roadway design will need to incorporate bicycle, pedestrian and transit
features to achieve a true multi-modal system. In addition to incorporating roadway
design standards in the City Code, the City will start requiring that new
developments be interconnected to enhance the transportation network.
Development design must provide connectivity and access between adjacent
residential developments and nearby land uses. Traffic cahning techniques can be
used to protect neighborhoods.

b. Transportation Concurrency Management Areas and Concurrency
Exemption Areas
Chapter 163, F.S., and 9J-5,0055(5), F.A.C., allow the option of exempting certain
developments from the transportation concurrency requirements if a project is
consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, if an area-wide
level of service standard is established and maintained for certain facilities and
transportation concurrency management areas are depicted on the future conditions
map.
Chapter 163, F. S., and 9J-5.0055(6), F.A.C., allow the option of exempting certain
developments from the transportation concurrency requirements if the project is
consistent with the comprehensive plan, promotes public transportation or is within
an area designated for infill development, redevelopment or downtown revitalization
area. The City of Winter Springs does not have any designated Transportation
Concurrency Management Areas or Transportation Concurrency Exemption Areas.
c. Future Public Transit Plan
A transportation system that offers multi-modal opportunities has the potential to
absorb a significandy higher number of person trips than a system that focuses solely
on accommodating vehicle trips. Improved transit service frequencies and new
routes offer a viable transportation alternative and promote transit use, The City will
need to coordinate with the MPO and LYNX for the expansion of routes when
deemed necessary due to the development of new traffic generators/ attractors such
as the Town Center and the Greeneway mixed use district. The City will continue to
support and participate in the transit system operated by LYNX. Furthermore, the
City will help achieve increased ridership by encouraging compact development,
requiring the provision of pedestrian connections, and requiring the provision of
transit facilities and amenities where necessary.
d. The Future Pedestrian Plan
The analysis of existing pedestrian conditions found that the City is well served by
sidewalks. However, in order to develop a pedestrian improvement/construction
program to address those areas lacking sidewalks, a citywide inventory of sidewalks,
crosswalks and other pedestrian facilities must be completed. By identifying missing
links in the pedestrian system, the inventory will allow prioritization of
improvements. Implementation of these improvements will provide pedestrian
connectivity to the overall transportation system,
e. The Future Bicycle Plan
The existing bicycle path system needs to be expanded to extend the bike paths
along to City parks and schools, The City bikeway system will need to continue
being expanded, filling gaps and providing new segments where deemed necessary.

f. TSM/TDM Strategies
Transportation System Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) are options for communities trying to add roadway capacity
without having to construct costly new facilities. The ultimate goal of the TDM
program is to influence people to shift to more efficient modes of transportation and
to travel during off-peak hours, TSM strategies, on the other hand, aim to affect the
actual supply of transportation services. The most effective policies integrate supply
and demand strategies to create a transportation network that promotes efficient
choices, The City of Winter Springs does not currently offer any of these programs.
However, they are options to consider in the future.
