  1. Florida’s Future Statewide Transportation Corridors Committee for Sustainable Emerald Coast November 16, 2006

  2. The 2025 Florida Transportation Plan • Establish criteria for identifying and developing new Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) corridors • Optimize the efficiency of Florida’s transportation system • Expand the use of modal alternatives to SIS highways for travel and transport between regions, states, and nations

  3. Desired Outcomes • Short-Term • Initial statewide corridors ready for detailed feasibility studies beginning in 2007, with others to follow • Long-Term • Network of existing, re-used, and new statewide and regional corridors that • Will serve Florida over the next 50 years • Support statewide and regional policy objectives • Are planned, financed and managed in collaboration with the public and private sectors

  4. Issues to be Considered • Population growth • Tourism • Freight movement • Congested Corridors • Desired origin-destination travel • Early identification and screening of corridors to assess environmental stewardship/community impacts

  14. Approach • Identify, assess, and expedite most promising statewide corridors through 3 parallel initiatives • Re-use and other major enhancements to existing statewide corridors • Expanded freight and passenger rail service • New statewide corridors (joint effort of FDOT and Florida Transportation Commission) • Coordinate statewide corridors with ongoing planning for existing and new regional corridors

  15. Initial Future CorridorStudy Areas

  16. Potential Multimodal Re-Use of Statewide Corridors

  17. Rail Corridors

  18. Next Steps • Gather public and partner input on process, policies, criteria • Statewide Workshop #2 in Orlando 11/30-12/1 • Draft Future Corridors Plan by 11/15 and Adopt by 12/31 • 30-day comment period prior to adoption • Advance most promising corridors (starting January 2007)
