  1. Florida’s StrategicIntermodal System (SIS):A Change in Transportation Planning Presented by: Alan J. Rukin

  2. What is the SIS? • Florida’s “growth management framework” • An attempt to increase funding for major transportation routes • Further develops the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS) • Focus on movement of people and goods • No longer limited to one mode • All modes along a single path • Hubs & Corridors • Blending of Federal, State, Local & Private funding

  3. Which Facilities are Favored? • Existing Infrastructure • Major Roadways • Rail lines & Terminals • Waterways • 7 Airports • 7 Seaports • 1 Spaceport • Emphasis on infrastructure that enables commerce and tourism

  4. SIS Map

  5. Providing an Equitable Solution • Current need: $100 billion • Average annual expenditure: ~$3 billion • Small & rural counties are at a disadvantage • Not as organized • Fewer existing facilities • Slower growth rate • Fewer sources of funding • Lower tax base • Fewer private dollars

  6. State Programs to Level Field • Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) • FDOT to pay for 50% of non-federal cost • Strength trough organization • Small County Outreach Program • County Incentive Grant Program • New Starts Transit Program

  7. Consequences to Funding Methods • Top down system forcing the strengthening of local governments • Funding of State Highway System not automatic • Forces local governments to look to neighbors and large businesses as partners • State provides matching funds • DOT coordinates work • Innovative means for local ownership of facilities • Better response to economic motivators • At what expense?
