The Planning Department addresses the primary needs for major transportation improvements including corridor evaluations and studies, land use, concurrency management, development review, long range transportation planning, traffic calming and coordinates closely with the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) which operates as an independent planning agency.

The Transportation Planning section is one of the five sections under the Land Development Department of the Growth Management Division.  Transportation Planning is the critical precursor to the implementation of any transportation improvement.

The Transportation Planning Section is actively involved in concurrency management, impact fee analysis and credits of transportation impact fees, and the coordination and review of developer commitment agreements.  The Transportation Planning Section also plays an active role in the development and maintenance of the Transportation Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and the negotiations and adoption of developer agreements required to compliment the CIP.

The Transportation Planning Section continues to coordinate long range planning services with the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) as well as support the traffic calming program for the entire county.
