  • 2019 Florida Transit Information and Performance Handbook
    FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 2019 Florida Transit Information and Performance Handbook www.fdot.gov/transit Public Transit In Florida Overview This Handbook offers a general overview of public transit in the State of Florida. The information in the following pages provides insight into transit’s contribution to meeting the statewide transportation objectives and mission of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Additionally, the information is used in reporting statewide performance measures. Public transit plays an important role in maintaining the livability of Florida’s growing communities. Transit not only helps alleviate traffic congestion and improve air quality, but also provides mobility for many of Florida’s citizens, as well as visitors and tourists to the Sunshine State. Transit also plays a critical role in meeting the mobility and accessibility needs of transit-dependent Floridians and visitors who, due to physical handicap, age, or economic disadvantage, cannot drive or own an automobile. By providing mobility and accessibility to millions of Florida’s residents and visitors, transit helps to improve the overall quality of life in Florida’s communities. This Handbook provides a synopsis of FDOT’s transit resources, a profile of Florida’s transit systems, and a snapshot of their performance in 2018. Although there are rural and urban transit systems in Florida, the focus of this handbook is on Florida’s urban fixed-route transit systems. Information about Florida’s demand-response transit systems can be obtained from the Annual Operations Report published by Florida’s Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged. urban fixed- route transit FDOT 30 systems in Florida (including bus, Mission rail, and vanpool modes) To provide a safe transportation and 2 other separate system that ensures the mobility vanpool services provided of people and goods, enhances transportation for approximately economic prosperity and preserves the quality of our environment and communities.
