				Driveway/Connection Application for All Categories, Form 850-040-15, (08/22),
				as incorporated by reference in Rule
				14-96.005, F.A.C.. An applicant
				may be a property owner or the owner's authorized agent. The Department will
				also accept a driveway connection application by a person holding an unrecorded
				interest in the property, such as a lease, that includes the right of access to
				the property, upon written proof of authorization from the property owner to
				submit the application executed before a notary public.
(2) "Application" means a completed
				Driveway/Connection Application for All Categories, Form 850-040-15, 08/22, as

Florida Administrative Code › 14 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION › 14 - Departmental › Chapter 14-96 - STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM CONNECTION PERMITS › Section 14-96.003 - General Provisions

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1)
Local
				Permits and Approvals.
Connection permits authorize the initiation of
				construction of connections within Department right of way and the maintenance
				of connection(s) according to the permit provisions and adopted department
				standards. It is the responsibility of the applicant or permittee to obtain any
				other local permits or other agency approvals that may be required before the
				initiation of the connection construction. No person may construct, relocate,
				or alter a connection temporarily or permanently without first obtaining a
				connection permit from the Department, as provided in this rule chapter,
				regardless of governmental entity permits and approvals.
(2)
Pre-Application.
Prior to
				filing an application and prior to receipt of development or site plan
				approval, all applicants applying for a Category C, D, E, F, or G connection
				are required to request a pre-application meeting to review the site plan with
				the Department and other governmental entities, as appropriate, with respect to
				the proposed connection(s)' location. This review will be performed by the
				Department without a fee.
(a) Purpose of
				Pre-Application Meeting. The purpose of the pre-application meeting is to
				establish the connection(s) category and the general location and design of
				connection(s) to the property. Traffic study requirements may also be
				determined during this meeting.
(b)
				Non-Binding Nature of the Pre-Application Meeting. The pre-application meeting
				is advisory only and the results of this meeting are not binding on the
				Department or the applicant. An application must be submitted and a connection
				permit must be issued before the applicant can initiate
				construction.

Florida Administrative Code › 14 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION › 14 - Departmental › Chapter 14-96 - STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM CONNECTION PERMITS › Section 14-96.004 - Connection Categories and Fees

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
All connections, public or private, shall be determined by
				  the Department to be in one of the following categories:
(1)
Standard Connection
				Categories.
The following table summarizes the standard connection
				categories and application fees:
DESCRIPTION/PROJECTED AVERAGE VEHICLE TRIPS PER DAY
							 OF SITE
APPLICATION FEE
Category A - Uses to 20 VTPD
$ 50
Category B - Uses with 21 - 600 VTPD
$ 250
Category C - Uses with 601 - 1,200 VTPD
$1,000
Category D - Uses with 1,201 - 4,000 VTPD
$2,000
Category E - Uses with 4,001 - 10,000 VTPD
$3,000
Category F - Uses with 10,001 - 30,000 VTPD
$4,000
Category G - Uses with 30,001 + VTPD
$5,000
(2)
Special Connection Categories.
(a) "Temporary Connection Category" provides
				a temporary, time limited connection to the State Highway System for a specific
				property, use, and estimated traffic volume. Such uses may include forest land
				clearing and temporary agricultural or construction uses. This category may not
				be used for permanent construction at a site where it is reasonably expected
				that the use is the ultimate use of the property. Further, a temporary
				connection permit does not bind the Department in any way to the future
				issuance of a permanent connection permit at the temporary connection location.
				The permittee shall remove, at the permittee's own cost, the temporary
				connection at the end of the permit period or shall apply for an extension or a
				new permit. The fee for this category is $250 for a six month period. The
				period will be extended for increments of six months upon written request,
				payment of a new fee, and a showing of good cause, such as weather delays,
				natural disasters, governmental entity coordination delays, or other technical
				problems not within the control of the applicant. However, in no event shall
				the period extend beyond 24 consecutive months. The Department reserves the
				right to remove any temporary connection upon expiration of the
				permit.
(b) A "Government Entity
				Category" provides for a connection or connection modification for any new or
				substantially improved public road or connection to a governmental facility.
				The fee will be waived if the applicant is a governmental entity.
(c) "Safety Upgrade Category" will not
				require a fee when initiated by the property owner and approved by the
				Department to improve the safety of the public road system and an existing
				connection. Examples of this type of work are changes to turning radii,
				channelization, resurfacting, relocation to improve connection spacing,
				widening or narrowing of a connection to better meet Department standards, and
				connection closure. This category specifically does not include changes made as
				a result of significant change as defined in subsection
				14-96.002(32),
				F.A.C.

Florida Administrative Code › 14 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION › 14 - Departmental › Chapter 14-96 - STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM CONNECTION PERMITS › Section 14-96.009 - Non-conforming Connection Permits

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
The Department may issue a permit for a connection not
				  meeting Department location and spacing criteria standards in rule Chapter
				  14-97, F.A.C., if the Department determines that a conforming connection is not
				  attainable at the time of the permit application submittal, that denial would
				  leave the property without access to the public road system, and that the
				  connection would not jeopardize the safety of the public or have a negative
				  impact upon the operation of the highway. The Department also shall issue a
				  connection permit requiring a legally enforceable cross-access connection when
				  determined to be in the best interest of the State for restoring or maintaining
				  the operational efficiency and safety of the State Highway System.
				  Non-conforming connection permits shall specify conditions or limits
				  including:
(1) The maximum vehicular
				type and volume of the connection.

(1)
Validity of Existing Permits.
All connection permits issued by the
				Department after July 1, 1988, remain valid until modified or revoked pursuant
				to the criteria set forth in this rule chapter. The Department will initiate
				action to modify any permit or existing permitted connection if any of the
				following occurs:
(a) A significant change in
				the use, design, or traffic flow of the connection.
(b) The connection was not constructed at the
				location or in accordance with the design specified in the permit.
(c) Permit conditions are not met by the
				permittee.
(d) Such revocation or
				modification is determined to be necessary because the connection poses a
				current or potential safety or operational problem on the State Highway System.
				This problem must be substantiated by an engineering study signed and sealed by
				a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of Florida. Such engineering
				study shall consider, the following:
1.
				Analysis of accidents or operational analysis directly involving the connection
				or similar connections, or a traffic conflicts analysis of the site.
2. Analysis of the impact modification of the
				connection will have on maintenance or safety on the public road system,
				including adjacent non-motorized facilities located within the roadway
				right-of-way.
3. Analysis of the
				impact modification of the connection will have on traffic patterns and
				circulation on the public road system, including adjacent non-motorized
				facilities located within the roadway right-of-way.
4. The principles of transportation
				engineering as determined by generally accepted professional
				practice.
(e) If the
				Department acts to revoke or modify a permit, the Department shall offer an
				opportunity to meet on site with the property owner or designated
				representative. The Department will take into consideration the following:
1. Documents, reports, or studies obtained by
				the property owner and provided to the Department.

When existing access connections are modified or closed by a
				  Department project including those referenced in Section
				  335.199, F.S., access will be
				  provided to abutting properties, subject to reasonable regulation as referred
				  to in Section 335.181(1) and (2)(a),
				  (b), F.S. To the maximum extent feasible,
				  modified access will be consistent with adopted Department connection
				  standards.

				additional permit shall be required.
(3) Where existing access connections are to
				be modified or closed as part of a Department contruction project, and the
				Department is not planning to acquire any portion of the property for the
				project, the Department will provide an opportunity to affected property
				owners, municipalities and counties to comment regarding potential impacts of
				proposed changes to existing connections, and provide notice to affected
				property owners of an opportunity for an administrative proceeding pursuant to
				Rule 14-96.0011, F.A.C., and Chapter
				120, F.S. For purposes of paragraph
				14-96.011(1)(d),
				F.A.C., construction plans for a Department project signed, sealed, and dated
				by a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of Florida shall substantiate
				a connection's non-conformance with Department standards or potential safety or
				operational problem, and a separate engineering study shall not be
				required.
(4) A new permit will be
				required at a property owner's expense to establish a new access connection or
				alter an existing access connection from the plans provided to the Department.
				The construction of new access connection points, if approved by the Department
				through the permit process in this rule chapter, shall be at the property
				owner's expense.
(5) The Department
				will bear the cost of modification of existing permitted or programed access
				connections necessitated solely by Department construction projects.

(1) The Department will review access control
				classifications for specific segments of the SHS in consideration of the
				criteria listed in Section
				335.188, F.S. Roadside
				development does not, in and of itself, necessarily constitute a reason to
				lower the access control classification. If reclassification of a roadway
				segment is necessary, the Department shall, prior to any change in
				classification, notify the affected governmental entities regarding the
				proposed reclassification and publish its intent to reclassify in a local
				newspaper of general circulation. The Department will hold a public meeting in
				the affected county, if requested, to seek comments on the proposed
				reclassification. The Department shall coordinate with, and will take into
				consideration, comments or concerns of the affected governmental entities
				and/or members of the public regarding the reclassification. The Department
				will notify the affected governmental entities of the final determination on
				the reclassification action(s).
(2)
				A written request may be made to the appropriate Department District Secretary
				that the Department review the access control classification of any specific
				segment(s) of the SHS. Such written request shall specify why the change of
				access control classification is sought, the desired access classification, and
				justification for the access classification change, based on the standards and
				criteria contained in Section
				335.188, F.S., and in this rule
				chapter. The Department shall consider such requests, coordinating with the
				affected governmental entities and shall deny the request or publish notice of
				the Department's intent to reclassify the roadway segment(s) in a local
				newspaper of general circulation. If requested, the Department will hold a
				public meeting.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Application and Scope. The purpose of
				this rule is to establish minimum training and qualification standards for toll
				enforcement officers. These standards shall be the minimum requirements
				necessary for eligibility to be a toll enforcement officer for the Department
				of Transportation (hereinafter Department). Toll enforcement officers are
				authorized to issue uniform traffic citations for failure to pay tolls on a
				toll facility owned or operated by a governmental entity, as defined in Section
				334.03(11),
				F.S., and on a toll facility owned by a public or private entity for which the
				Department collects tolls pursuant to an agreement between the Department and
				the private or public entity authorized by Section
				338.161(5),
				F.S. This rule should not be construed to preclude a governmental entity
				operating a toll facility from establishing more stringent requirements for its
				toll enforcement officers.
(2)
				Compliance. Compliance with the rule standards shall be the responsibility of
				the respective governmental entity which owns or operates the toll
				facility.
(3) Minimum Training.
				Toll enforcement officers shall successfully complete the following:
(a) A training course with the Department of
				Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles on the procedures for issuance of uniform
				traffic citations.
(b) A minimum of
				40 hours of technical instruction on how to access, operate, and maintain the
				violation enforcement system. The components of the training shall include, at
				a minimum, equipment configuration and operation.
Florida Administrative Code › 14 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION › 14 - Departmental › Chapter 14-100 - TOLL ENFORCEMENT › Section 14-100.002 - Prosecution of Unpaid Toll Violations

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Application
				and Scope. The purpose of this rule is to implement Section
				316.1001, F.S., and provide
				guidance to toll enforcement officers for the issuance of Uniform Traffic
				Citations (UTC).
(a) It is in the public
				interest, fair to users who pay posted tolls, and necessary for toll collection
				and bond accountability, to enforce the payment of tolls and reduce the number
				of toll violations which occur when prescribed tolls are not paid by users of
				toll facilities. Failure to pay a prescribed toll is a violation of Section
				316.1001, F.S. Violators of
				Section 316.1001, F.S., at Department
				owned or operated toll facilities are subject to issuance of a UTC by the
				Department, and those toll facilities owned by a public or private entity for
				which the Department collects tolls pursuant to an agreement authorized by
				Section 338.161(5),
				F.S.
(b) For a toll facility not
				part of the Florida Turnpike System or otherwise owned by the Department and
				subject to this rule, all applicable toll rates for the use of the toll
				facility shall be established by the applicable private or public entity owning
				the toll facility in acordance with the owner's governing laws, charter,
				ordinances, resolutions, rules and procedures. The private or public entity
				shall be responsible for establishing such toll rates on its own toll
				facilities.
(c) After exhausting
				all internal Department database records, the license plate number of a motor
				vehicle alleged to have committed a toll violation shall be entered into the
				Florida Department of Law Enforcement or the Department of Highway Safety and
				Motor Vehicles or other database to obtain the name and address of the
				registered owner for use in prosecution of toll violations.
Florida Administrative Code › 14 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION › 14 - Departmental › Chapter 14-100 - TOLL ENFORCEMENT › Section 14-100.004 - 95 Express Toll Toll Exemption Registration in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties
