body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
Attached is an updated Intergovernmental Coordination and Review and Public Transportation Agreement (ICAR) as presented by the Florida Department of Transportation. The ICAR is between the Florida Department of Transportation, the Hernando/Citrus Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, the Hernando County Board of County Commissioners, and the Citrus County Board of County Commissioners, collectively the “Parties.”
The purpose of the ICAR is to provide for cooperation between the Parties in the development and preparation of the Unified Planning Work Program, the Transportation Improvement Plan, the Long-Range Transportation Plan, and any applicable corridor or subarea studies. The updated ICAR also reflects the inclusion of the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council (TBRPC) and the removal of the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority (TBARTA) which no longer exists.
The Hernando/Citrus MPO, the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, and the Citrus County Board of County Commissioners have approved the Agreement. Once reviewed and approved by the Hernando County Board of County Commissioners, the ICAR will be provided to the Florida Department of Transportation for their execution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
