VILLAGE OF PALM SPRINGS MOBILITY PLAN AND FEE

A Mobility Plan is a forward-thinking and progressive strategy designed to integrate land use and transportation improvements, offering people the opportunity to safely, comfortably, and conveniently walk, bike, use public transit, drive, or utilize emerging technologies to navigate their village. Mobility fees are derived from the Mobility Plan, which outlines enhancements to expand and improve roads and intersections, along with providing multimodal improvements such as sidewalks, shared-use paths, crosswalks, and trails. Under Florida statute, Mobility Fees can be collected from new development and redevelopment to fund the Mobility Plan as a proportionate fee for the impact of development on the transportation network.
