FDOT’S MISSION

The mission of the Florida Department of Transportation is to provide and manage a safetransportation system that ensures the mobility of people and goods, enhances economicprosperity, and preserves the quality of our environment and communities.

ABOUT FDOTFDOT’s history traces back to 1915 when the first Florida State Road Board members wereappointed and charged with building hard-surfaced roads through sand hills, swamps, and pineforests throughout the state to connect remote cities hundreds of miles apart. Their toolswere a staff of six and a $10,000 annual budget. From those humble beginnings, one of thestate’s most vital and productive agencies has evolved.

Today, FDOT has about 8,000 employees statewide and a multi-billion dollar budget. The agencyis committed to maintaining the delicate balance between progress and preservation. FDOT isresponsible for moving people along quickly and efficiently by using the latest technologywithout disrupting the state’s sensitive environment. That can only be achieved with a highlyskilled, highly motivated workforce.

FDOT is a decentralized agency. The Central Office in Tallahassee is responsible for policy,procedure, and quality assurance. FDOT’s seven district offices and Turnpike Enterprise (some-times referred to as District 8) are responsible for building and maintaining the roads andbridges, allowing local governments and planning organizations direct input into agency opera-tions. FDOT’s operations are funded primarily from user fees, such as:

! highway fuel taxes,

! tolls,

! motor vehicle license fees, and

! aviation fuel taxes.

Except for tolls collected by Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, those mon-ies are deposited into the State Transportation Trust Fund. Most of thefunds are spent on FDOT’s work program–the construction of roads andbridges. State law requires FDOT to develop a five-year work program; FDOT’scommitment to the public is to build specific projects during that time period.

There are more than 40,000 lane miles and 6,200 bridges on the State Highway System (SHS).But FDOT is much more than just roads and bridges. Although highways remain the backboneof the state’s system, provision of transportation alternatives is also important. A minimum of15 percent of FDOT’s budget is devoted to public transportation, aimed at moving people, notjust vehicles.

THE FLORIDA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION

The Florida Transportation Commission was created by the 1987 Florida Legislature to serveas a citizen’s oversight board for FDOT. The Commission is independent of FDOT. Composedof nine commissioners appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Florida Senate forfour-year terms, the Commission meets monthly. While the usual meeting location is Tallahas-see, the Commission meets two or three times a year elsewhere around the state to receivelocal input.

The law requires that membership “equitably represent all geographic areas.” Historical prece-dent is one commissioner from each FDOT district and two “at large” commissioners, one withrail expertise and one with seaports expertise. The commissioners must represent transpor-tation needs of the state as a whole and may not subordinate state needs to those of anyparticular area. The Commission is prohibited from involvement in day-to-day operations ofFDOT (such as consultant or contractor selection, specific projects, or personnel matters).Periodically, the Auditor General is directed to review Commission compliance with the law.

The Commission’s primary functions are to:

1. review major transportation policy initiatives or revisions submitted by FDOT pursu-ant to law;

2. recommend major transportation policy to the Governor and Legislature in areassuch as public transit, funding, road jurisdiction, truck weights, and penalties, etc.;

3. serve as an oversight body for FDOT (assess performance, monitor financial status,and review work program, budget requests, and long-range plans); and

4. serve as nominating commission in the selection of the Secretary of Transportation(Secretary appointed by Governor from among three candidates nominated by theCommission).

Our mission is to provide leadership in meetingFlorida’s transportation needs through policy guidance on issues of statewide importance

and maintaining public accountability for the Department of Transportation.

FLORIDA’S TURNPIKE ENTERPRISE

The mission of Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise is to assist in meeting Florida’s total transporta-tion needs by pursuing public and private sector partnerships to build Florida Intrastate High-way System projects and improve Turnpike access in urban areas, while improving service topatrons and protecting bondholders.

Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise is a 449-mile system of limited-access toll highways. Its 312-milemainline passes through 11 counties from north of the Florida Keys to a junction with Inter-state 75 in north central Florida. In addition to the mainline, the Turnpike Enterprise includesthe 23-mile Sawgrass Expressway/Toll 869 in Broward County; the 18-mile Seminole Express-way/Toll 417 in Seminole County; the 15-mile Veterans Expressway/Toll 589 in Tampa; an 8-mileportion of the Bee Line Expressway/Toll 528 in Orlando; the 6-mile Southern ConnectorExtension of the Central Florida GreeneWay/Toll 417 in Orlando; the 42-mile Suncoast Park-way/Toll 589; and the 25-mile Polk Parkway/Toll 570.

The Southern Connector Extension of Toll 417 officially opened to traffic in June 1996. The 6.2-mile stretch links the existing Central Florida GreeneWay/Toll 417 with Interstate 4 south ofU.S. 192 in Osceola County. The Extension has been nationally recognized for its innovativepublic/private financing. Along with the traditional coin system of toll collection, the SouthernConnector Extension features E-Pass and is one of the Turnpike’s ten expansion projects toopen since 1994. A new interchange is now open on the Homestead Extension of Florida’sTurnpike at Northwest 106th Street. The interchange provides the developing northwestMiami-Dade County area and residents with improved access to southern Broward and Miami-Dade counties and will help relieve congestion on Okeechobee Road/U.S. 27.

The Turnpike awarded a private distributor with the management of seven plaza service sta-tions, resulting in significantly lower fuel prices and improved wrecker service for patrons. Fuelprices at the Turnpike’s eight full-service plazas are now competitive with fuel prices found offthe Turnpike system. The service stations have been renovated and equipped with pay-at-the-pump fuel dispensers.

MODES

FDOT strives to move people and goods by any one of the following modes: aviation, bicycle,highway, paratransit, pedestrian, pipeline, rail (commuter, intercity passenger, and freight), tran-sit, space, and water.

FLORIDA’S INTERMODAL SYSTEM:INTERCONNECTING THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE AND GOODS

CONNECTING THE MODES

Moving people and goods from place to place usually requires the use of more than one modeof travel. Delays often occur when transferring from one mode to another. Historically, indi-vidual modes have been planned and operated independently of each other. The result is oftenduplication of services and other economic inefficiencies. Changes in work and personal travelbehavior and the State’s view of global trade have heightened the need for greater connectivitybetween transportation modes. For example, innovations such as just-in-time manufacturingoften require the reliable transportation of goods by a combination of truck, ship, air, and rail.This requires a high level of connectivity and a multi-modal system that operates effectively.Travelers require quick connections between air and surface transportation to meet busy sched-ules.

Planning for an interconnected system involves more than just improving coordination amongthe modes of transportation. It is also crucial that the roles and responsibilities of the State,local governments, and the private sector be effectively coordinated. The movement of peopleor goods can be accomplished using aviation, bicycles, highways, paratransit, walking, pipelines,rail (commuter, intercity passenger, and freight), public transit, space, and water.

FLORIDA’S STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM (SIS)

With the help of many partners throughout the state, FDOT designated this system and adopteda strategic plan for funding and managing it. The system is composed of corridors, facilities, andservices of statewide and regional significance. It includes appropriate components of theFlorida Intrastate Highway System including seaports, spaceports, airports, rail, transit, paratransit,regional freight distribution facilities, and bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. For Florida’stransportation system to operate at maximum efficiency, effective interconnections betweenair, sea, rail, and road systems are crucial.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Investing in transportation has many long-term benefits. According to the U.S. Department ofTransportation, for every $1 billion invested in highway construction, 42,000 jobs are created.The return on investment includes the benefits to our transportation customers–namely, timesavings, lower vehicle operating costs, and improved safety. FDOT research shows that for each$1 invested in capacity and preservation improvements on state and local roads, user benefitstotal $2.86. These benefits flow to every segment of the economy, creating improved produc-tivity and business competitiveness, higher real wages, and stronger overall economic expan-sion.

STATE REVENUES AND INVESTMENTS

Federal revenues finance about one-third of the State program. They are expected to growabout two percent each year. State revenues should grow about four percent each year. Thisreflects the expected increase in travel and automatic inflation adjustments to a major part ofthe State Motor Fuel Tax. These funds will be invested to achieve Florida Transportation Plan(FTP) goals, meet State and metropolitan priorities, and support rural development strategies.Estimates of revenues and investment are for State and federal funds administered by the State.Funds administered by local governments and the private sector are not included.

MAKING THE INVESTMENTS COUNT

The FTP and metropolitan planning organization long-range plans must be “cost feasible.” Thecost of planned improvements and maintenance must be balanced with revenues that can bereasonably expected. State investments will be balanced with available revenues as more de-tailed FTP implementation plans and project costs are developed.

State, metropolitan, and local plans will continue to show that the cost of needed improve-ments exceeds available revenues. It is essential that the governmental entities involved coop-erate to achieve maximum return on investments as they implement these plans. This meansthat partners must pursue innovative financing and partnership opportunities. They must usesystem management tools to reduce the need for costly increases in capacity. Land use andtransportation decisions must be more coordinated to help manage increasing demand fortransportation and to help implement desired development patterns.

In response to the mandates of the 2000 Florida Legislature in Sections 334.046, 339.137 and311.09 of the Florida Statutes, FDOT is currently developing the methodology to better iden-tify how transportation investments link to Florida’s overall economic performance. This analy-sis also will evaluate FDOT’s work program from an economic perspective, as well as look atthe role of transportation infrastructure as one factor in attracting business to the state. Theproducts of this effort will yield valuable information about areas where transportation canhave significant impact on both the state and local economies.

Of the various important transportation modes in Florida, the one most used is the highwaysystem. In addition to moving passenger vehicles, it provides the infrastructure for most publictransit and freight movement. The highway system also is the most common source of connec-tions between the various transportation modes, enabling these modes to work together asone transportation system.

ROADWAY SYSTEMS DEFINED

State Highway System (SHS):Roads owned and maintained by the State of Florida. Includes roads signed asInterstate highways, U.S. routes, and State roads. Almost one-third of this mileage isdesignated as the Florida Intrastate Highway System.

County Highway System:Roads owned by the counties of Florida. Includes some roads that pass throughurban areas.

City Street System:Roads and streets that are owned by the cities and municipalities of Florida.

FLORIDA INTRASTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM (FIHS)The Florida Intrastate Highway System is part of the State Highway System and is intended toconnect urban and rural areas throughout the state, and to connect to global markets throughairports, seaports, and rail terminals. The Systems Planning Office is responsible for the devel-opment and maintenance of the network of highways that combined are the FIHS.

The FIHS was established in 1990 by the Florida Legislature and comprises:

! Interstate highways,

! Florida’s Turnpike, and

! selected urban expressways and major arterial highways.

The FIHS is the centerpiece of the State Highway System. It serves high-speed and high-volumetraffic movements and about 3 percent of Florida’s public road mileage but carries 29 percentof all traffic. It carries 64 percent of all truck traffic.

The FIHS makes travel safer and more convenient through new technologies such as IntelligentTransportation Systems (ITS). ITS is the integrated application of modern computer and com-munication technologies to manage traffic flow and traffic incidents. Where appropriate, theFIHS includes provision for through travel, buses, passenger rail service, and vehicles withmore than one occupant.

TOLL OPERATIONS SUMMARY

The state operates 693 tolled traffic lanes throughout Florida. These lanes include controllingaccess to 3 bridges, 1 ferry service, Florida’s Turnpike, and other toll facilities. Approximately628 million vehicles passed through State-operated toll lanes in fiscal year 2001/2002.

In addition to the roads of Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise (listed on page 15), toll roads in Floridainclude others operated by FDOT (I-275/Sunshine Skyway Bridge, I-75/Alligator Alley, SR 399/Navarre Bridge, SR 682/679/Pinellas Bayway System), by the Miami Expressway Authority (SR112/Airport Expressway, SR 836/Dolphin Expressway, SR 874/Don Shula Expressway, SR 878/Snapper Creek Expressway, SR 924/Gratigny Parkway), by the Orlando-Orange County Ex-pressway Authority (SR 408/Spessard Holland East-West Expressway, SR 429/Western Ex-pressway, part of SR 528/Bee Line Expressway, SR 417/Central Florida GreeneWay), by theTampa-Hillsborough Expressway Authority (SR 618/Selmon Crosstown Expressway), by theMid-Bay Bridge Authority (SR 293/Mid-Bay Bridge), by the Santa Rosa Bay Bridge Authority (SR281/Garcon Point Bridge), by Lee County (SR 867/Sanibel Causeway, Cape Coral Bridge, CR884/Midpoint Bridge), and by Oceola County (CR 522/Osceola Parkway).

EXIT NUMBERING

On January 28, 2002, FDOT began changing exit numbers along Florida’s Interstates, beginningat Interstate 10. The project is now complete. The exit numbers were changed from consecutiveexit numbers to milepost numbers and are consistent with the numbers on the mile markersalong the highway. Some signs will have both the old and new exit numbers for two years so thateveryone can get used to the new numbers. The milepost exit numbers are more convenientand safer. Motorists now can very easily determine their relative position along the highway.The total project cost $4.6 million, which includes $750,000 to remove the old signs.

ELECTRONIC TOLL COLLECTION

Electronic Toll Collection is a system that allows drivers to pass through toll plazas while atransponder in their car registers the toll amount and deducts it from a Prepaid Account.

SunPass® is FDOT’s innovative Electronic Toll Collection System. Two other systems are in use.E-Pass is the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority’s electronic toll collection sys-tem, and O-Pass is used by Oceola County. Incorporating the latest technology, SunPass® hasbeen implemented across most of Florida’s toll roads, saving drivers time, money, and thehassle of digging for change. More than 900,000 SunPass transponders, 363,000 interoperableE-Pass transponders, and 18,000 O-Pass transponders have been purchased, making Floridaone of the leading states to utilize this new technology.

MOTORIST AID CALL BOX SYSTEM

There are approximately 2,750 push-button Motorist Aid Call Boxes installed along Florida’sInterstate Highways and the Florida Turnpike, with another 52 call boxes installed along SR 528/Bee Line Expressway.

26


The call boxes installed along SR 528/Bee Line Expressway are voice call boxes where amotorist actually speaks to a dispatch operator. The push-button call box sends only a prede-termined message based on the button pushed.

Approximately 56,000 calls have been made by motorists from push-button call boxes alongFlorida’s Interstate System and Turnpike. All calls are routed to a Florida Highway Patrolstation. The Highway Patrol is responsible for sending the appropriate response.

ROAD RANGERS

One of FDOT’s most popular services is the Road Rangers program, which provides freehighway assistance services during incidents to reduce delay and improve safety for the motor-ing public and responders. The 88 roving Road Rangers remove road debris, assist disabled orstranded motorists, and assist the Florida Highway Patrol at accident scenes on most ofFlorida’s Interstates in urban areas.

SCENIC HIGHWAYS PROGRAM

The Florida Scenic Highways Program is a grass-roots effort to heighten awareness of theState’s historical and intrinsic resources–cultural, historical, archeological, recreational, natu-ral, and scenic–which collectively enhance the overall traveling experience. The Florida ScenicHighways Program offers a unique blend of resource protection and partnering while promot-ing community pride and recognition of our state’s outstanding resources.

ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY

Since its inception in 1990, Florida’s Adopt-A-Highway Program has been very successful inreducing the cost of litter removal and improving the appearance of highway right-of-waythroughout Florida. Volunteers enter into a two-year agreement with FDOT, during which theyagree to conduct litter removal at regularly scheduled intervals. Many miles of highway areadopted statewide by various organizations, allowing civic-minded people to make a differencein their communities. This eases the load on FDOT work crews, enabling them to devote moretime to other road maintenance and special highway projects.

If you would like more information on how you can become involved as a volunteer with theAdopt-A-Highway Program, please call FDOT’s Adopt-A-Highway Coordinator in Tallahasseeat 1-800-BAN-LITT(er) or 1-800-226-5488.

REHABILITATION AND MAINTENANCE

The State’s roads and bridges require regular maintenance to avoid high repair bills and prolongthe useful life of transportation facilities. FDOT has primary jurisdiction over the State HighwaySystem. Although the State Highway System consists of about 10 percent of the public roadcenterline miles in the state, it carries more than 55 percent of the traffic. One of FDOT’s mainresponsibilities is keeping the State Highway System in acceptable physical condition. To achievethis, FDOT resurfaces roads, repairs or replaces bridges, and conducts routine maintenanceactivities such as mowing, litter removal, and sign replacement.

State roads that need resurfacing are identified through FDOT’s annual pavement conditionsurvey. This survey evaluates pavement conditions using three factors: ride quality, crack sever-ity, and average depth of wheel-path ruts. “Ride quality” is what the motorist experiences (thesmoothness of the ride). It directly affects motor vehicle operating costs. Crack severity, or“cracking,” refers to the structural deterioration of the pavement, which leads to loss ofsmoothness and deterioration of the road base by water seepage, if not corrected. Wheel-pathruts, or “rutting,” are depressions in pavement caused by heavy use. These depressions cancollect water, creating a safety hazard. It is important to keep pavement in good shape. Ifroadway surfaces are not maintained, the roadway must be rebuilt, literally from the ground up.It is much more economical to properly maintain roadway surfaces on a periodic basis than topermit them to degrade to the point where pavement rehabilitation or pavement reconstruc-tion is required.

FDOT is responsible for scheduling and performing routine maintenance on the State HighwaySystem to help preserve the condition of the highway system. It is important that the system bemaintained at an optimal level, both for driver safety and comfort, and to allow FDOT to plan astable program of roadway repair or resurfacing. Routine maintenance includes highway repair(repairing potholes, patching); roadside upkeep (mowing, removing litter); emergency response(overturned trucks, disaster response); operating and providing security for rest areas; install-ing, inspecting, and replacing signs; painting symbols and restriping lanes; and keeping stormdrains clear and structurally sound.

MOBILITY PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The highway system itself is just infrastructure and depends on its users to make it work. Thereare many kinds of users, but all have two paramount interests: they want to get where they needto go in a reasonable and predictable time, and they want to get there safely.

Mobility is the ease with which people and goods move throughout their community, state, andworld. It is valuable because it provides access to jobs, services, and markets. Transportation’smost essential function is to provide mobility for people and goods. By measuring the perfor-mance of mobility, FDOT can better understand how to improve it.

Mobility can be difficult to define, and even more difficult to measure. After extensive coordina-tion with leading national experts, FDOT developed some definitions of the components ofmobility that will be meaningful to a variety of transportation users and providers. Along withthe definitions, FDOT developed performance measures to describe how well the system isperforming in each area.

These performance measures address four dimensions of mobility: quality, quantity, utilization,and accessibility.

! Quality: The conditions of travel, as experienced by motorists; usually of most concernduring a peak traffic period. The primary performance measures in urban areas areaverage speed and delay. The reliability of travel time is an emerging and importantmeasure. Work is also ongoing to define a measure that relates to a driver’s comfortlevel in high-volume rural driving.

! Quantity: The total amount of travel, as expressed in vehicle miles traveled, personmiles traveled, or truck miles traveled. This is a measure of the overall effectiveness ofthe system.

! Utilization: The relationship between demand and capacity, including traffic density(vehicles per lane mile), and the percent of the system and the percent of travel thatare heavily congested. This measure is of interest to transportation providers, whowant to build systems that are big enough to meet demand, but not so big as to bewasteful.

! Accessibility: The ability to take advantage of the transportation system. More oftenapplied to transit modes, it reflects proximity, connectivity, and time schedules.

More information of mobility performance measures for the State Highway System and theFlorida Intrastate Highway System is available on the FDOT Transportation Statistics Office website at http://www.dot.state.fl.us/planning/statistics/mobilitymeasures/default.htm.

Safe travel in Florida is FDOT’s Number One priority. But safety isn’t a single program. Safetyconsiderations are built into how FDOT designs, implements, operates, and maintains everytransportation project. The mission of FDOT’s Safety Office is to continually improve the safetyof users of Florida’s highway system, the safety of FDOT employees, and FDOT’s preparationfor, response to, and recovery from natural and man-made emergencies.

Analysis of motor vehicle crashes in Florida shows that a large percentage of the crashes areassociated with driver error. Nationally, fewer than 5 percent are attributed to problems withthe roadway. In Florida, that number is probably even less. Through strict adherence to safedesign, construction standards, and maintenance, FDOT works to reduce the number of crasheswhere road-related conditions are a factor. But this is only a part of what FDOT does toenhance safety as a whole. FDOT also has formed partnerships with state and local agencies,organizations, and individuals who have a role in transportation safety.

SAFETY OFFICE GOALS

The goals of the Safety Office are:

! decrease the frequency, rate, and severity of, and potential for, crashes involvingmotor vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles on public roads in Florida through theimplementation of comprehensive safety programs involving engineering, enforce-ment, education, and/or emergency services;

! provide procedures, training, and awareness activities that foster safe workpractices and workplaces for FDOT employees; and

! provide plans and procedures to guide, direct and improve FDOT’spreparedness for, response to, and recovery from workplace, local and stateemergency events.

It is important to recognize that FDOT’s role in highway safety and its ability to affect thenumber of traffic related injuries and fatalities is limited. FDOT has limited or no control overfactors such as driver skill and impairment, use of safety equipment, vehicle condition, andweather. However, FDOT is responsible for designing, constructing, and maintaining the StateHighway System (SHS). The additional miles of roads in Florida are the responsibility of citiesand counties.

COMMUNITY TRAFFIC SAFETY TEAMS (CTSTS)FDOT’s involvement regarding the safety needs of highway users continues to be primarilythrough Community Traffic Safety Teams (CTSTs). Florida’s CTSTs are locally based groups ofhighway safety advocates who are committed to solving traffic safety problems through acomprehensive, multi-jurisdictional, multi-disciplinary approach. CTST members include city,county, state, and occasionally federal agencies, as well as private industry representatives andlocal citizens. The community boundaries are determined by the individuals comprising theteam, and can be a city, an entire county, a portion of a county, multiple counties, or any otherjurisdictional arrangement.

The mission of the FDOT Transit Office is to “identify, support, advance and manage costeffective, efficient, and safe transportation systems and alternatives to maximize the passengercarrying capacity of surface transportation facilities.”

The Transit Office administers Federal and State transit grants, monitors compliance withtransit regulations, and provides planning and technical assistance to Florida’s transit agenciesand communities.

The FDOT Transit Office consists of three sections–Transit Planning, Grants Administration,and Transit Operations–each of which has specific areas of responsibility. These areas includetransit system planning, state grants administration, commuter assistance, quality assurance, thestate bus fleet, safety research program administration, education, training, research, and planreview.

Each district has an Office of Public Transportation Operations (PTO) that is responsible fortransit, aviation, rail, and seaport functions within the districts.

TRANSIT 2020 PLAN HIGHLIGHTS

Transit 2020 is a statewide strategic plan that will help guide the development of transit inFlorida over the next 20 years. It is a conception of the future, proposing the direction fortransit in Florida into the 21st century.

Developed by FDOT in collaboration with state and local government agencies, transit provid-ers, community leaders, and the general public, Transit 2020 articulates a common vision of thefuture of public transit in Florida’s urban areas.

As the transit element of the Florida Transportation Plan, Transit 2020 will help provide thepolicy framework that links Florida’s transportation goals and objectives with FDOT’s annualbudget and 5-year work program.

The primary purpose of Transit 2020 is to support the development of a transit system thatprovides Floridians and visitors with an effective, efficient, and customer-friendly transit servicein a transit-friendly environment. The plan reexamines the role of transit in the context of achanging transportation environment. Through an analysis of the strengths, weakness, opportu-nities, and threats to Florida’s transit industry, it defines the industry’s emerging core values,mission, and vision.

It should be noted that, because the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged(CTD) is primarily responsible for paratransit planning in Florida, the scope of Transit 2020 islimited to those services provided by Florida’s fixed-route urban transit systems.

The three key issue areas for Transit 2020 are transit service, funding, and planning/policy.

Goal 1: Transit Service—Implement a transit system that improves and expands travelchoices for Floridians and visitors.

Issue: The level of transit service for most Floridians is inadequate and will worsen given currenttrends.

Goal 2: Transit Funding—Sustain and expand investment in public transportation fromall existing and potential public and private funding sources.

Issue: Current transit funding levels are inadequate to fund existing as well as expanded capital,maintenance and operating programs; several funding sources lack stability and flexibility.

Goal 3: Transit Planning and Policy—Develop, promote, and encourage transit sup-portive policies, institutional arrangements and practices.

Issue: Existing policies and institutional arrangements and practices sometimes hinder or fail topromote the achievement of transit objectives.

37


FLORIDA’S TRANSIT SYSTEMS—STATEWIDE TOTALS

In fiscal year 2000, 26 transit systems in Florida received State Block Grant funds. A total of 22systems provide fixed-route motorbus; 20 of these also provide demand-response service.Three provide only demand-response service. The remaining system, Tri-Rail, operates com-muter rail service in South Florida. Also, Miami-Dade Transit operates heavy rail (Metrorail) andan automated guideway system (Metromover). Jacksonville Transportation Authority also oper-ates an automated guideway (Skyway Express).

The State of Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) is an indepen-dent commission housed administratively within FDOT. The CTD’s mission is to ensure theavailability of efficient, cost-effective, and quality transportation services for transportationdisadvantaged persons. Community Transportation Coordinators (CTCs) are responsible fortransit service provision at the local level. There are four potential organization types of localcoordinators or CTCs: private non-profit, private for-profit, government, and public transitentities. In addition, there are three operating environments: sole source, partial brokerage, orcomplete brokerage.

The Florida Pedestrian and Bicycle Program works in many areas to promote safe walking andbicycling in Florida. The office develops initiatives and programs to improve the environment forsafe, comfortable, and convenient walking and bicycling trips and to improve the performanceand interaction among motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. A broad network of professionalstaff in FDOT District offices and in metropolitan areas has been established to assist in thiseffort.

The Pedestrian and Bicycle Program serves as a clearinghouse for information concerningsafety, design, and bicycle touring. The office is also responsible for the Florida School CrossingGuard Program and the Florida Traffic Safety Education Program.

The FDOT Pedestrian and Bicycle Program keeps a web site with a list of resources for bicycletouring in Florida. These resources include information on trails, maps, roads, books, touroperators, accommodations, bike shops, bike rentals, bike clubs, and other sources for touringinformation.

PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS

The State Pedestrian and Bicycle Coordinator works with other central offices and Districtoffices to ensure that FDOT policies, procedures, and manuals appropriately address pedes-trian/bicycle requirements. This has so far resulted in changes to FDOT’s Plans PreparationManual and the FDOT Bicycle Facilities Planning and Design Handbook. The Pedestrian FacilitiesPlanning and Design Handbook also has been completed and distributed.

PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES

The Manual of Uniform Minimum Standards for Design, Construction, and Maintenance forStreets and Highways (also known as the Florida Greenbook) states that design of roadways inurban areas should include provisions for pedestrian crossings. Pedestrian crossings and path-ways should be considered and designed as an integral part of any street or urban highway.While this does not require sidewalks to be built, the Florida Greenbook does requireplanning and design of new streets and urban highways to include provisions for the safe,orderly movement of pedestrian traffic.

PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES

42


BICYCLE FACILITIES

The Manual of Uniform Minimum Standards for Design, Construction, and Maintenance forStreets and Highways (the Florida Greenbook) states that bicycle facilities should be incorpo-rated into the original highway design. New highways should be designed and constructedunder the assumption they will be used by bicyclists. Because the Florida Greenbook is in-tended for all roadways in Florida and because different facilities are appropriate for differenttypes of roadways, several types of bicycle facilities can be included, such as paved shoulders,bike lanes, wide curb lanes, and shared use paths.

TRAIL INFORMATION (PARTIAL LISTING)Numerous shared-use paths and off-road bike routes cross the Florida landscape. Many of thepaved paths follow former railroad corridors. The regional Water Management Districts haveunpaved trails open to cyclists, described in their recreational guidebooks.

Based on current rail industry freight and passenger transportation trends, and the goalsestablished for FDOT in the 2020 Florida Transportation Plan, there will continue to be a needfor public involvement in rail transportation. It is anticipated that the railroads will continue torationalize their infrastructure in order to reduce expenses and increase returns. The demandfor rail transportation by Florida’s ports and other rail users will expand, and the need foralternative transportation will continue to grow as highway congestion and environmentalconcerns increase. FDOT and the Rail Office are committed to pursuing a number of keystrategies in support of the 2020 Florida Transportation Plan.

Both freight and passenger railroads are experiencing rebirth. Today’s freight railroads set newton-mile records yearly, Amtrak has re-established the conventional passenger train, and Tri-Rail has brought commuter rail services to south Florida.

HIGH SPEED RAIL IN FLORIDA

The Florida High Speed Rail Authority is moving forward with the development of a statesystem that will first operate between Orlando, Tampa, and St. Petersburg, with future serviceto Miami and other urban centers around the state. The constitutional amendment approved inNovember 2000 requires the use of train technologies that operate at speeds in excess of 120miles per hour and consist of dedicated rails or guideways separated from motor vehicle traffic.The new high speed rail system is to link the five largest urban areas in Florida.

A look into the future anticipates additional increases in both resident and visitor populations.During the period from 1990 to 2010, it is expected that:

! resident population will increase by 38 percent,

! tourist population will increase by 82 percent,

! vehicles on Florida highways will increase by 70 percent, and

! highway capacity will increase by only 18 percent.

For more information about Florida’s High Speed Rail program, visit www.floridahighspeedrail.org.

FREIGHT RAIL

Florida’s freight rail systems consist of 2,871route miles of track, operated by 13 freightrailroad companies and 4 terminal or switching companies and serve 12 of 14 deepwater ports.The freight rail network can absorb additional traffic without major new construction. How-ever, connections to key intermodal facilities are needed, such as those planned for Miami andJacksonville.

The Florida Strategic Freight Network has been identified to include all roadways on theFlorida Intrastate Highway System, connectors to all seaports, connectors to the six largestfreight airports, railroads, all statewide significant intermodal facilities (private facilities, publicseaports, and six largest air cargo airports), and certain other roadways that currently carrymore than 10 million gross tons of freight annually.

INTERMODAL FREIGHT

FLORIDA FREIGHT STAKEHOLDERS TASK FORCE

The Florida Freight Stakeholders Task Force was formed as a result of the Governor’s IntermodalTransportation Summit held on June 18, 1998, in Jacksonville. The Task Force was a private/public partnership that addressed the needs of Florida’s intermodal freight transportation. TheTask Force was organized into five subcommittees whose chairs formed an Executive Commit-tee to manage the work of the Task Force. The work of the Task Force was limited to freightintermodal transportation issues and not passenger transportation issues. The Task Force’sobjectives were to identify, prioritize, and recommend freight transportation projects for fast-track funding and develop recommendations for the 2020 Florida Statewide Intermodal Sys-tems Plan that will address Florida’s freight transportation interests.

Projects that benefit freight and are currently in the public sector pipeline have been identified.Ten million dollars was appropriated by the 1999 Legislature and available to the Task Force tofast-track these and other eligible freight projects. Eligible projects included those that im-prove off-facility access to airports or seaports. Applications for funding were sent to alleligible airport and seaport facility operators. Twelve different applicants submitted seventeenapplications, totaling over $101 million. The USF Center for Urban Transportation Researchapplied the recommended prioritization criteria to the applications and provided the TaskForce with a list of the results. The Task Force chose five projects for funding and recommendedfive more for acceleration of funding within the normal work program. This program was oneof the building blocks that led to the creation of FDOT’s Strategic Intermodal System.

45


As a result of the work of the Task Force, the following recommendations were made regard-ing Florida’s freight transportation interests:

! establish the Florida Strategic Freight Network as a part of the Intermodal SystemsPlan,

! adopt the Florida Freight Stakeholders Task Force process for prioritization and selec-tion of future freight projects,

! fund future research and planning studies,

! conduct a Florida International Trade and Port Strategy Study to define specific tradecorridor strategies and the supporting port investment priorities,

! establish a Florida Freight Advisory Council within FDOT,

! establish “Freight Mobility Committees” in the largest Metropolitan Planning Organi-zations (MPOs), and

! create a Florida Freight Project Investment Bank to fund freight projects.

These recommendations are being considered in the development of the Strategic IntermodalSystem. More information about the strategic freight network can be found at: http://www.dot.state.fl.us/seaport/ffstfreport.htm.

MISSION STATEMENT

The aviation mission of FDOT is to provide a safe and secure air transportation system thatensures the mobility of people and goods, enhances economic prosperity, and preserves thequality of our environment and communities. FDOT pursues this mission through extensivecoordination with local government and regional agencies and with financial support and tech-nical assistance. The Florida Aviation System Plan (FASP) is FDOT’s 20-year aviation system planfor development at Florida’s publicly-owned airports. The FASP is a continuing planning processsupported by multiple databases that provide current data on Florida’s aviation industry and theContinuing Florida Aviation System Planning Process (CFASPP).

Because the FASP must reflect and keep pace with Florida’s dynamic aviation industry, it willaddress new and challenging areas of study in addition to the well-established aviation planningdisciplines. The FASP will investigate such topics as intermodal transportation networking, theeconomic impact of airports on local communities and the state of Florida, and developing long-range visions and strategies through strategic planning. These new elements to the FASP willfurther enhance the primary goal of providing a quality aviation system that meets the currentand future growth needs of Florida.

Florida’s aviation system is facing a number of important issues. In the next five years, Florida’saviation system funding will fall short of the estimated $7.2 billion needed to accommodate thedemands of growth. Also, aircraft traffic delays due to airspace congestion and limited airportcapacity will cost Florida businesses and citizens $300 million per year. Last, Florida is facingincreasingly difficult competition to maintain its share of global business.

FLORIDA AVIATION SYSTEM PLAN (FASP) GOALS

MOBILITY:

! Develop a seamless transportation system from doorstep to business to internationalboundaries.

! Assure efficient airport access, both on the surface side and aviation side of terminals.

! Assure that emergency facilities are available in the wake of disasters.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:

! Assure adequate traveler and cargo capacity for international trade for Florida’s visitorindustry and for Florida agriculture.

SUSTAINABILITY/PRESERVATION:

! Support our system of general aviation airports.

! Protect our current investment in the Florida aviation system.

FLORIDA AVIATION SYSTEM PLAN OBJECTIVES

! Emphasize capacity development projects at our intercontinental airports in order tomaintain our competitive position in the global marketplace.

! Preserve our existing aviation infrastructure in order to maintain the capacity of thestatewide system of airports.

! Assure that general aviation airports are able to provide business transportation totheir communities and support to our primary commercial service airports.

! Encourage enhanced passenger service at a reasonable cost to Florida’s under-servedsmall-hub and non-hub commercial service airports.

! Encourage and support federal legislation that will address critical Florida airport needsand assure that sufficient federal funding will be available to Florida airports.

! Plan and provide an air system for rapid response to emergency situations and disasters.

Florida has 14 deepwater seaports, geographically split between the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.The Gulf ports are focused primarily on domestic trade, while the Atlantic ports compete withports all along the Eastern Seaboard for international cargo and cruise ship passengers. Floridais home to over $70 billion in international trade.

These 14 seaports generate substantial economic benefits for communities throughout thestate. The Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic Development Council’s latest five-yearplan estimates that, by 2005, 466,000 jobs, or 6.6 percent of all private sector employment, willbe attributable to seaport activities. In addition, by 2005, the seaports’ annual earnings areprojected to increase by 68 percent, to $11.1 billion; annual business sales are projected toincrease by 61 percent to $36.8 billion, and annual state and local taxes will almost double,growing to $1.6 billion. The 14 seaports generated the movement of about 2.5 million 20-footton equivalent units ( TEU’s) in fiscal year 2001/2002.

Florida’s seaports are represented by a trade association, the Florida Ports Council (FPC). All14 seaport directors are represented on the FPC board, and the organization maintains a full-time director who has offices in both Miami and Tallahassee. In 1990, the FPC, which had beenable to foster consensus among the 14 seaports, succeeded in getting CS/SB 1316 passed by theLegislature. This bill established the State-funded Florida Seaport Transportation and EconomicDevelopment Program (FSTED). FDOT created a Ports/Intermodal section in the Rail Office in1990; in early 2000, a separate Seaport Office was created, using staff from the previous Ports/Intermodal section. The Seaport Office staff serve as the primary State government liaison andfinancing partner with the seaport community.

A little over 13 million passenger embarkations and disembarkations occurred at Florida’sseaports during fiscal year 2001/2002. This is a 12 percent increase over the previous year anda new record for the state. The number of multi-day cruise passengers increased by 15 percent,consistent with the overall industry increases for 2002 and despite industry concerns about adownturn in passenger bookings. All of the multi-day cruise ports saw their cruise activitiesgrow by substantial percentages.
