This ordinance appropriates $350,000.00 from the Concurrency Management System Account to the Transportation Planning - Concurrency Management - Other Professional Services Account. The funds are designated to finance a comprehensive update of the City of Jacksonville Mobility System Plan.

Key Details:

• Purpose: To fund consultant services, travel demand modeling, GIS analysis, mobility fee recalibration, system capacity evaluation, mapping, documentation, and public engagement.
• Justification: The current plan relies on outdated pre-2023 data, and significant development and traffic pattern changes necessitate an update for accuracy, transparency, and statutory compliance.
• Timeline: The project is anticipated to take 12-18 months from approval.
• Funding Source: The funds are transferred from the Concurrency Management System Account (specifically, Fund Balance as amended).
• Fiscal Impact: A one-time appropriation of $350,000.00. No ongoing maintenance or staffing obligations are associated with this planning project; future implementation will be funded separately.
• Approval Process: Introduced by the Mayor, co-sponsored by Council Members Johnson & Clark-Murray, and amended/approved by the Transportation, Energy and Utilities (TEU) Committee and the full Council. The final vote was 15-1.
• Effective Date: Upon signature by the Mayor or becoming effective without signature.
