Finally, the legal context for corridor management in Florida is further defined by an increasing emphasis on multimodal transportation planning in Florida planning law. The 2011 Community Planning Act required local governments in Florida to develop multimodal plans coordinated with future land use plans, removed transportation concurrency as a requirement, and encouraged local governments to adopt alternative mobility funding systems. Many have enacted mobility plans and fees or concurrency based multimodal mitigation fees to help ensure that developments pay their proportionate share of the cost of transportation facilities. A multimodal approach to corridor management is essential to the ability of local governments to plan for future growth in accordance with multimodal provisions of Chapter 163. Mobility plans and fees offer a strong legal foundation for multimodal mitigation, provided they are consistent with statutory requirements and designed with the dual rational nexus and rough proportionality tests in mind. An important consideration is internal consistency of the vision expressed in the multimodal plan, quality of service and design criteria, and the corresponding mitigation program. These factors demonstrate public purpose and need for new facilities, benefits received by new development, and how the mitigation is related and proportionate to the impacts of new development.
