Example:

Establish Transportation Concurrency Exception Areas (TCEAs)

Objective:

Accessibility

Strategy Category:

Land Use: Encourage smart growth through land use planning and development approval processes

Strategy:

(II.D.01) Encourage a mix of uses to make destinations closer and within walking distance, especially within Multimodal Districts

Originators:

Palm Beach County

Implementors:

Palm Beach County

Timeframe:

Completed

Applies Systemwide?:

Comments:

Palm Beach County has established TCEAs in parts of Boynton Beach, Riviera Beach, West Palm Beach, and Delray Beach. They have been effective in promoting mixed use development and hence potentially internalizing trips but still generating additional impacts on I-95
