body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
Kimley-Horn, serving as the Hernando-Citrus MPO’s General Planning Consultant, conducted 71 routine 48-hour machine traffic counts throughout Hernando County and performed a Level of Service (LOS) evaluation in support of the MPO’s Congestion Management Process (CMP). Traffic count information was updated using the County’s most recent available data, supplemented by the counts collected by the Consultant and approved by the County.
The Consultant prepared the attached Quality/Level of Service Analysis on Hernando County’s road network reflecting the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) 2023 Multimodal Quality/Level of Service Handbook and the updated generalized service volume framework applied to the 2025 and projected 2030 roadway network. The analysis is consistent with the scope of work, FDOT Q/LOS Handbook, the adopted Hernando-Citrus MPO Congestion Management (CMP) process, and other MPO planning documents.
On May 28, 2026, the MPO’s Board’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), and Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) will have reviewed the traffic counts and Level of Service analysis. Due to the timing of the Board’s packet distribution, the recommendations of the Committees will be provided to the MPO Board at the June 4, 2026, meeting.
