     (17) TRANSPORTATION MOBILITY FEE.--The Legislature finds

9

that the existing transportation concurrency system has not

10

adequately addressed the state's transportation needs in an

11

effective, predictable, and equitable manner and is not producing

12

a sustainable transportation system for the state. The current

13

system is complex, lacks uniformity among jurisdictions, is too

14

focused on roadways to the detriment of desired land use patterns

15

and transportation alternatives, and frequently prevents the

16

attainment of important growth management goals. The state,

17

therefore, should consider a different transportation concurrency

18

approach that uses a mobility fee based on vehicle and people

19

miles traveled. Therefore, the Legislature directs the state land

20

planning agency to study and develop a methodology for a mobility

21

fee system as follows:

22

     (a) The state land planning agency, in consultation with

23

the Department of Transportation, shall convene a study group

24

that includes representatives from the Department of

25

Transportation, regional planning councils, local governments,

26

the development community, land use and transportation

27

professionals, and the Legislature to develop a uniform mobility

28

fee methodology for statewide application to replace the existing

29

transportation concurrency management system. The methodology

30

shall be based on the amount, distribution, and timing of the

31

vehicle and people miles traveled, professionally accepted

32

standards and practices in the fields of land use and

33

transportation planning, and the requirements of constitutional

34

and statutory law. The mobility fee shall be designed to provide

35

for mobility needs, ensure that development provides mitigation

36

for its impacts on the transportation system, and promote

37

compact, mixed-use, and energy-efficient development. The

38

mobility fee shall be used to fund improvements to the

39

transportation system.

40

     (b) By February 15, 2009, the state land planning agency

41

shall provide a report to the Legislature containing

42

recommendations concerning an appropriate uniform mobility fee

43

methodology and whether a mobility fee system should be applied

44

statewide or to more limited geographic areas, a schedule to

45

amend comprehensive plans and land development rules to

46

incorporate the mobility fee, a system for collecting and

47

allocating mobility fees among state and local transportation

48

facilities, and whether and how mobility fees should replace,

49

revise, or supplement transportation impact fees.
