Palm Coast Council Member Ty Miller has been appointed to serve on the Executive Committee for the Volusia-Flagler Transportation Planning Organization (TPO). In addition to this leadership role, Council Member Miller also serves as a TPO Board Member, with Vice Mayor Theresa Pontieri serving as an alternate on the Board.

“It’s an incredible opportunity to represent the City of Palm Coast on the Volusia-Flagler Transportation Planning Organization,” said Council Member Miller. “I’m passionate about building a transportation network that’s not only efficient and safe, but also forward-thinking. Working together across communities is how we can create lasting improvements that move our region toward a stronger, smarter future.”

The Volusia-Flagler TPO is the official body responsible for overseeing urban transportation planning and programming within the designated Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA). The TPO serves all of Volusia County and the developed areas of eastern Flagler County, including Beverly Beach, Flagler Beach, Palm Coast, and Bunnell.

Current Volusia-Flagler TPO priority projects for Palm Coast include:

  • Whiteview Parkway Corridor Safety Improvements (In Progress)

  • Old Kings Road Widening, Phases 2 and 3

  • Matanzas Woods Parkway Widening

  • Belle Terre Parkway Corridor Improvements

  • Graham Swamp Trail, Phase 2

The TPO Board is comprised of elected officials from local governments who work collaboratively to enhance the safety, efficiency, and connectivity of the region’s transportation system. Their work addresses all modes of transportation, including roadways, bridges, public transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and services for the transportation disadvantaged.

The Executive Committee of the TPO Board is responsible for setting meeting agendas and has limited budget authority within the adopted Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The committee may also authorize contracts and budgetary actions as approved in the UPWP or adopted budget.
