…body
EXPLANATION: The Countywide Transportation Master Plan (CTMP) will establish a multijurisdictional process and planning framework for a countywide vision for a multimodal system that safely connects people to places. As part of the CTMP development process, a consultant team will regularly work with County staff and a core technical group of stakeholders to develop the CTMP, in preparation for presentations to all stakeholders at key project milestones, and in various locations within PBC.
The CTMP may be used as a foundation for Palm Beach County and municipalities to separately adopt and/or update their specific transportation plans. Each jurisdiction may be able to select appropriate recommendations that fit the needs of each unique community while coordinating regionally significant transportation corridors through the recommended framework. Ultimately, each plan adopted by each jurisdiction may lead to a plan-based methodology as set forth and specifically referenced in Florida State Statutes.
The PBC Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a contract with WSP USA Inc. on June 18, 2025, for the development of the CTMP. WSP is one of the top professional services firms with national and international experience in transportation.
On July 18, 2025, Palm Beach County hosted the kickoff meeting for the CTMP. The WSP team presented an overview of the project scope of work, timeline, and public engagement strategies, and attendees had an opportunity to speak with the WSP team.
