Transit Development Plan for Heartland Regional Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO)
Background:
The Heartland Regional Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) requires the services of a firm with transit planning expertise to develop a 10 – Year Transit Development Plan (TDP) for Highlands County including the Sebring-Avon Park Urbanized Area. The Transit Development Plan will comply with the current TDP requirements in FS 14-73.001. The TDP will serve as a strategic plan used to guide transit planning, development, and operations over the planning horizon from Fiscal Year 2017 through Fiscal Year 2027, within the context of community-wide mobility needs. The study area for the TDP is Highlands County however, the existing Heartland Rural Mobility Plan (HRMP) includes all six counties of the HRTPO (DeSoto, Glades, Hardee, Hendry, Highlands, and Okeechobee). The HRTPO is committed to diversity in its employees and consultants and therefore encourages qualified minority and disadvantaged firms to apply.
