According to the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan, public transportation has the highestpotential of any alternative transportation mode of reducing the demand for personal motorized travel inurban areas. To allow transit service to be a more viable form of transportation in the county from thestandpoint of reducing automobile dependence, more mixed-use concentrated urban communities areneeded to support it.The implications of the Comprehensive Plan are that Pinellas County must continue to move towardproviding more effective public transportation services. It is evident that the current land use patterns anddemographics are not the ideal operating environment for public transportation. The following are theprimary goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan’s Transportation Element relevant to publictransportation.Objective 1.2: Pinellas County, in cooperation with Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA), shall striveto provide transit access for all major traffic generators and attractors with headways less than or equal to30-minute headways in the peak hour and no greater than 60 minutes in the off-peak period.Policy 1.2.1: Pinellas County shall continue to work with PSTA to increase the efficiency of thefixed-route system by encouraging mass transit use through the application of the ConcurrencyManagement System, Site Plan Review Process, and the implementation of MPO corridor strategyplans.Objective 1.3: The Transportation Element shall be coordinated with the goals, objectives, and policies ofthe Future Land Use and Quality Communities Element in guiding population distribution, economic growth,and the overall pattern of urban development.Policy 1.3.7: By 2012, Pinellas County shall conduct a study of the “coastal corridor” from GulfBoulevard to the Pinellas/Pasco County Line to determine how land use and transit planning canbe coordinated to create or highlight destinations and venues so that tourists can easily go fromone community to another while experiencing the uniqueness of each.Objective 1.7: Pinellas County shall increase the efficiency and effectiveness of mass transit service aswell as opportunities for multi-passenger vehicle travel that accommodates the transportation needs of theservice area population and the transportation disadvantaged while reducing single-occupant vehicledemand.Policy 1.7.1: Pinellas County shall participate in the MPO-sponsored Pinellas Mobility Initiative(PMI) in the effort to identify and develop long-term mobility solutions in Pinellas County.Tindale-Oliver & Associates, Inc.Pinellas Suncoast Transit AuthoritySeptember 2010 2-10 Transit Development Plan
Policy 1.7.2: Pinellas County shall consider PMI recommendations regarding implementation ofmass transit initiatives for amendments to the Transportation Element as necessary.Policy 1.7.3: Pinellas County shall participate in MPO-sponsored corridor strategy plans, compilingand analyzing information on existing land uses, future land use plans, existing traffic patterns andbus stop and sidewalk locations to determine where opportunities exist to implement strategies toencourage mass transit ridership as well as other alternative modes of travel.Policy 1.7.4: Pinellas County shall facilitate the provision of bus stop improvements and pulloutbays along major roadways through the application of the Concurrency Management System.Policy 1.7.5: Pinellas County shall continue to identify and monitor “unmet” transportationdisadvantaged needs within unincorporated Pinellas County. Residents in need of transportationassistance shall be informed of services available through the Pinellas County TransportationDisadvantaged Program.Policy 1.7.8: Pinellas County shall pursue JARC and New Freedom grant monies underSAFETEA-LU to fund transportation services to disadvantaged citizens.Policy 1.7.9: Pinellas County shall continue to maintain an inventory of transportationdisadvantaged persons that would be affected by an evacuation order in the event of a naturaldisaster. Those needing to evacuate to a public shelter who have no personal means available totransport them, shall be provided the opportunity to register with Pinellas County for Special Needsassistance in order to receive transportation assistance.Policy 1.7.10: In 2009, Pinellas County shall amend the Land Development Code to implementlivable community improvements that will require and/or encourage developments to provideseparated/buffered pedestrian ways (e.g., sidewalks, crosswalks) connecting bus stops toproximate buildings.Policy 1.7.11: Pinellas County shall coordinate with PSTA to identify locations where the need forpedestrian accommodations between bus stops and the sidewalk network is most pronouncedfrom a safety standpoint.Policy 1.7.12: Pinellas County shall work with PSTA to pursue Transportation Regional IncentiveProgram (TRIP) funding as appropriate to assist in funding transit improvements necessary toaddress growth management issues in the region.Tindale-Oliver & Associates, Inc.Pinellas Suncoast Transit AuthoritySeptember 2010 2-11 Transit Development Plan
