The plan must include both long 374 range and short-range strategies and must comply with all other 375 state and federal requirements. The prevailing principles to be 376 considered in the long-range transportation plan are: preserving 377 the existing transportation infrastructure; enhancing Floridas 378 economic competitiveness; and improving travel choices to ensure 379 mobility. The long-range transportation plan must be consistent, 380 to the maximum extent feasible, with future land use elements 381 and the goals, objectives, and policies of the approved local 382 government comprehensive plans of the units of local government 383 located within the jurisdiction of the M.P.O.

The Legislature finds 423 that the investment of the state in the Florida wildlife 424 corridor as defined in s. 259.1055 is of significant interest to 425 the public and that the provision of paved multiuse trails 426 within or between areas of the Florida wildlife corridor would 427 provide the public the ability to enjoy Floridas natural 428 resources and bring ecotourism and economic opportunities to 429 local trail town communities. The Legislature further finds that 430 improving bicyclist and pedestrian safety for both residents and 431 visitors is remains a high priority. Therefore, the Legislature 432 declares that the development of a nonmotorized trail network 433 will increase mobility and recreational alternatives for 434 Floridas residents and visitors;, enhance economic prosperity;, 435 enrich quality of life;, enhance safety;, and reflect 436 responsible environmental stewardship; and facilitate support 437 for the protection, preservation, and enhancement of the natural 438 and recreational value of the Florida wildlife corridor by 439 providing minimally invasive public access to it when feasible 440 and compatible with the lands. To that end, it is the intent of 441 the Legislature that the department make use of its expertise in 442 efficiently providing transportation projects to develop and 443 construct the Florida Shared-Use Nonmotorized Trail Network, 444 consisting of a statewide network of nonmotorized trails which 445 allows nonmotorized vehicles and pedestrians to access a variety 446 of origins and destinations with limited exposure to motorized 447 vehicles. 448 (2)(a)The Florida Shared-Use Nonmotorized Trail Network is 449 created as a component of the Florida Greenways and Trails 450 System established in chapter 260. The Florida Shared-Use 451 Nonmotorized Trail Network consists of a statewide network of 452 nonmotorized trails that allow bicyclists and pedestrians to 453 access a variety of points of origin and destinations with 454 limited exposure to motorized vehicles. 455 (b)The multiuse trails or shared-use paths of the 456 statewide network must be consists of multiuse trails or shared 457 use paths physically separated from motor vehicle traffic and 458 constructed with asphalt, concrete, or another hard surface. 459 (c)The statewide network which, by virtue of design, 460 location, extent of connectivity or potential connectivity, and 461 allowable uses, provides nonmotorized transportation 462 opportunities for bicyclists and pedestrians statewide between 463 and within a wide range of points of origin and destinations, 464 including, but not limited to, communities, conservation areas, 465 lands of the Florida wildlife corridor, state parks, beaches, 466 and other natural or cultural attractions for a variety of trip 467 purposes, including work, school, shopping, and other personal 468 business, as well as social, recreational, and personal fitness 469 purposes. 470 (3)Network components do not include sidewalks, nature 471 trails, loop trails wholly within a single park or natural area, 472 or on-road facilities, such as bicycle lanes or routes. However, 473 components that connect to nature trails, loop trails, or other 474 points of public access wholly within a single park or natural 475 area may be included in the network, as well as any of the 476 following other than: 477 (a)On-road facilities that are no longer than one-half 478 mile connecting two or more nonmotorized trails, if the 479 provision of non-road facilities is infeasible and if such on 480 road facilities are signed and marked for nonmotorized use.; or 481 (b)On-road components of the Florida Keys Overseas 482 Heritage Trail. 483 (4)The planning, development, operation, and maintenance 484 of the Florida Shared-Use Nonmotorized Trail Network is declared 485 to be a public purpose, and the department, together with other 486 agencies of this state and all counties, municipalities, and 487 special districts of this state, may spend public funds for such 488 purposes and accept gifts and grants of funds, property, or 489 property rights from public or private sources to be used for 490 such purposes. 491 (5)(a)The department shall include the Florida Shared-Use 492 Nonmotorized Trail Network in its work program developed 493 pursuant to s. 339.135.

In developing 522 the planning and design of trails, the department shall 523 coordinate with other state agencies to ensure that appropriate 524 recreation or public access is available for such projects. 525 (d)To the greatest extent practicable, the department 526 shall program projects in the work program to plan for 527 development of the entire trail and to minimize the creation of 528 gaps between trail segments. The department shall, at a minimum, 529 ensure that local support exists for projects and trail 530 segments, including the availability or dedication of local 531 funding sources and of contributions by private landowners who 532 agree to make their land, or property interests in such land, 533 available for public use as a trail. 534 (e)Each metropolitan planning organization or board of 535 county commissioners, as appropriate, shall include in its list 536 of project priorities required under ss. 339.135(4)(c)1. and 537 339.175(8) one or more projects that are a priority under 538 paragraph (b) and meet the requirements of this section.
