Comments:

The Palm Beach MPO is facilitating a Road Impact Fee Alternatives work group. In March 2017, MPO staff presented a recommended alternative to the MPO Board:

Identify planned road capacity projects using the MPO's LRTP
Redraw the Road Impact Fee Zones based on location of planned projects (County continues to administer road fee projects)
Stop collecting road fees where there are no projects.

The MPO Board instructed MPO staff to hold a workshop to review the recommended alternative and ask the Attorney General whether a charter amendment is necessary to establish flexibility to use road impact fee revenue for multimodal projects.
