The Miami Beach Concurrency Management System is a mechanism used to measure the
impact of proposed development, redevelopment, or use intensification projects on public
services, including transportation. A project is considered to satisfy transportation
concurrency requirements when the traffic generated by such project does not exceed the
City adopted Level of Service (LOS) for the entire City roadway system.
In order to promote infill development or redevelopment within selected portions of urban
areas in a manner that supports the provision of more efficient mobility alternatives, including
public transit, the City created Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs)
and Transportation Area Zones (TAZs) in accordance with Florida law. The TCMAs and
T AZs were made part of the City's Concurrency Management System Program.
When a determination is made that the required public facility such as the transportation
capacity will not be available to support the proposed development or redevelopment within
the T AZ or TCMA, the developer may propose to provide the additional transportation
capacity to support the development or to secure a positive concurrency determination by
paying a concurrency mitigation fee.
A schedule of concurrency mitigation fees and methodology used to arrive at these fees was
approved by City Commission under Resolution # 2000-23874. Two different fee schedules
were adopted, as follows:
~
1. Concurrency Statement Fees (administrative fees), which are funding the operation,
maintenance, and update of the Automated Concurrency System and MMP, along
with the salaries of added staff for the Transportation / Concurrency Division.
2. Transportation Concurrency Mitigation Fees, which are divided into three (3)
Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs) - North, Middle, and
South Beach TCMAs. Mitigation fees are calculated based on additional trips
generated by the development/redevelopment project. The cost per trip was
developed based the cost of the projects specified in the original Municipal Mobility
Plan. The total cost for projects for each geographic area was then divided by the
anticipated number of trips to be generated from future development to arrive at a
cost per trip for each geographic area. This was then applied to each development
that added trips to the network. Each geographic area of the City has a specific cost
per trip as follows:

Concurrency mitigation fees are deposited in specific accounts for each geographic area
and subsequently appropriated by Resolution of the City Commission for the implementation
of specific projects.
As an element of the concurrency mitigation program the City developed the Municipal
Mobility Plan (MMP). The MMP provides a bank of transportation capacity enhancement
projects throughout the different geographic areas of Miami Beach. Concurrency mitigation
funds are used to fully fund or partially fund MMP approved projects. Sixteen MMP projects
have been completed at a cost of $21,761,169, which constitutes 45% of the entire bank of
projects. (See Exhibit A)
In addition the City is formally engaged in two Master Plan studies -- the Coastal
Communities Transportation Master Plan (CCTMP) and the Coastal Communities Transit
Study (CCTS). The former analyzes traffic patterns and is geared to provide solutions to the
current traffic and transportation challenges impacting the barrier islands. The latter, on the
other hand a joint venture between the City and Miami Dade Transit, evaluates travel
patterns of transit users, with the intent to consolidate routes and achieve overall system
efficiency. Both plans will produce short, mid, and long term solutions to transportation and
mass transit issues within the coastal communities and both are anticipated to generate a
new bank of projects.
From program inception to date the Concurrency Management System has collected
$8,296,772.94 in mitigation funds. The expenditures to date total $3,748,036.00 resulting in
a net available balance of $4,548,736.94 (Exhibit B). More specifically net available fund
balances by area are as follows:
Collected Expenditures Balance
North 967,738.10 13,844.00 953,894.10

Most of the mitigation funds have been allocated to support transit related projects and or
operations. From 2000 to 2005, the Concurrency Mitigation funds were used to fund
Electrowave operational expenditures, for a total amount of $1,469,905. Since 2005,
mitigation funds have been allocated to partially fund the operational expenditures of the
South Beach Local, for a total amount of $900,914.
Other funds that have been funding transit initiatives along with Concurrency Mitigation
funds are People's Transportation Plan (PTP) and Federal funds.
