Title of Item:
Presentation by the Martin MPO and Marlin Consultant on the City of Stuart downtown tram system and a 5-Year business plan.
Summary Explanation/Background Information on Agenda Request:
The Martin Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is assisting the City of Stuart in evaluating the current downtown tram system and building a 5-Year business plan for the service. Funding for the tram is limited as the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) grant that funds the tram system is expiring and cannot be renewed with the tram system’s current operation. In order to be prepared for future funding, an in-depth look at the tram’s operations and the development of a thorough business plan are important next steps. This business plan will provide the decision-makers with the information to move forward and meet the goals of improved mobility and accessibility for downtown Stuart and understanding of funding for the immediate short-term (5 years). This is the first of 2 presentations. This presentation will be on the existing conditions and opportunities.
