Progress to Celebrate
-
Significant progress has occurred toward creating a
bi-county Advanced Traffic Management System which uses
technology to make our roadways more efficient.
-
The update
of the 2030 Long Range Transportation plan was completed,
involving two counties and nine cities. The plan reflects
sensible solutions despite funding constraints.
-
The role
of public transportation has become more significant in
discussion of redevelopment concepts, land-use planning and
mobility issues.
-
A
feasibility study for a north-south route east of I-75 has
begun.
-
Last year,
funds were not diverted for other State purposes from
Florida’s Transportation Trust Fund.
-
Federal
transportation legislation (2005) mandates an increase in
the percentage of collected federal fuel taxes returned to
each State.
Future Opportunities
-
More community discussion is
needed on regional mobility issues.
-
Public transportation planning must
continue to be part of land use discussions.
-
Continued advocacy is
needed to insure the State’s Transportation Trust
Fund is used only for transportation purposes
