Florida’s Future Transportation Corridors Presented to:Florida Redevelopment AssociationPresented by:Bob RomigState Transportation Development AdministratorFlorida Department of Transportation
October 24, 2012Slide2
Presentation Outline2Why future corridors?How do we plan and develop future corridors?Initial study areasWhat’s next?Slide3
Why Future Corridors?3Coordinate long-range growth/transportation plans and visionsProvide solutions for or alternatives to existing congested corridors Meet growing demand for moving people and freight to support economic developmentGrowth in population, visitors, and domestic and international tradeImprove connectivity Between regions Between Florida and other states and nations Slide4
What Is a Future Corridor?4FunctionConnect Florida regions or connect Florida to other statesFocal point for trade and economic developmentCharacteristicsHigh-speed, high capacity connectionMultiple transportation modesCo-location with utility, communications,and other linear facilitiesAdvanced technologies, materialsSlide5
Many Partners Calling for Greater Emphasis on Future Corridors52060 Florida Transportation PlanFlorida Trade and Logistics StudySix PillarsTM 2030 Strategic PlanDepartment of Economic Opportunity’s5 year Strategic Plan for Economic DevelopmentSlide6
Regional Visioning Processes6
Completed
In Implementation
In Progress
In PlanningSlide7
How Can a Regional Vision Provide Input to Corridor Planning7Can indicate desirable regional growth patterns and long-range scenarios for:
Future land development
Conceptual locations for future corridors (including modes and access points)
“Must save” community and environmental resources
Potential for development or redevelopmentSlide8

Policy Framework14Focus on connecting economicactivities and moving people and freightMaximize use of existing facilities Consider alternatives to highwaysAdd capacity to existing facilitiesto support growth in demand and relieve congestionConsider new facilities when needed to fill major connectivity gaps Slide15
Key Policy Issues15Consistency with statewide and regional visions/plans including DEO Strategic Plan, Six PillarsTMLinkage to local government comprehensive plans, sector plans, rural land stewardship areas, DRIs, etc.Coordination with Cooperative Conservation Blueprint and other land conservation plansIntegrating corridor concepts into regional and local transportation and land use plansPartnership opportunities with landowners, utilitiesDesign principles for 21st century corridorsSlide16
Corridor Planning Approach16Slide17
What Have We Accomplished?17Studies of existing corridorsI-95 (completed), I-75 (underway), US 27 (underway)Initiated government agency coordination group Department of Economic Opportunity, Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Federal Highway AdministrationIdentified initial priority study areasInitiated Concept studies of priority areasInitiated outreach to stakeholdersEnvironmental/land use advocates, regional planning councils, MPOs, local governments, public and private landowners, etc.Slide18

Tampa Bay-Northeast Florida Study AreaPotential SolutionsI-75 managed lanes/truck only lanesEnhanced rail systemSuncoast Parkway extensionFlorida Turnpike extension (NEFT)Possible I-75 reliever from Suncoast to Gainesville/Ocala areaImproved connections between I-75 and Jacksonville

Tampa Bay-Central Florida “Super Region”Potential SolutionsI-4 managed lanesFuture SunRail extensionsParallel facilities on segments of the corridorPossible newcorridors consistentwith regional visionsand adopted landuses

Southeast Florida-Heartland- Central Florida Study AreaPotential for increased freight flows from Southeast Florida seaports and connections to proposed intermodal logistics centersUS 27 Alternatives Study initiated to examine options including truck-only lanes, freight rail serviceHeartland 2060 regional vision will help guide future decisions about US 2721Slide22
Southwest Florida-Heartland-Central Florida Study AreaExamine need for more direct connection between Southwest, Central FloridaPotential future need to provide alternative to I-75 for people and freightHeartland 2060 regional vision will help guide decisions about future growth and development22Slide23

Presentation Outline25Why future corridors?How do we plan and develop future corridors?Initial study areasWhat’s next?Slide26
What’s Next?26Support statewide and regional visioning/strategic planning Continue to coordinate with agenciesContinue to conduct outreach to stakeholders Complete alternatives studies on existing corridors Develop concept reports for priority study areasInitiate pilot evaluation studiesDevelop potential agreements for reservation or dedication of right of way for potential viable future corridorsSlide27
