  • RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents
    2015 FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN - 2018 UPDATE The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Freight and Multimodal Operations Office (FMO) present this 2018 update of the 2015 Florida Rail System Plan. As new challenges have had a great impact on the needs and future projects identified in the 2015 Rail System Plan, FDOT prepared this update. CHALLENGES • New State Rail Plan Guidance was created in 2013 to set a standard format and elaborate on required elements of the plan to include a 5-year update cycle, and a requirement for states seeking capital grants under Sections 301, 302, and 501. See https://www.fra.dot.gov/Page/P0511. Thereafter, FDOT prepared a 2015 Rail System Plan that was completed in December 2015. The Plan was not published at that time, as major industry changes were expected and no public outreach had yet been conducted. • Major industry changes occurred that impacted most of the rail mileage in Florida: o CSX hired Hunter Harrison in spring of 2017, and radically changed the company by imposing precision-scheduled railroading instead of a hub-and-spoke system. This approach has been continued by CSX leadership through 2018. o Grupo México Transportes (GMXT), the leading rail freight transportation company in Mexico, successfully completed the acquisition of Florida East Coast Railway in 2017. o Brightline began service in 2018 between West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami later in the year, and with plans to connect to Orlando and potentially to Tampa in the future. APPROACH • The FAST Act (Title 49, Section 22702) passage in December 2015 changed the 5-year update cycle to a 4-year update cycle.

  • Prioritized Project List 2026-2035
    Orlando Urban Area FY 2026/27 – 2034/35 Prioritized Project List Adopted by the MetroPlan Orlando Board on July 7th, 2021 (This page intentionally left blank) FY 2026/27 - 2034/35 Prioritized Project List Executive Summary Introduction Each year, MetroPlan Orlando updates the Prioritized Project List (PPL), a document that lists all the highway, bicycle/pedestrian, transit, and other transportation-related future projects in our three-county region (Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties) that have been deemed cost feasible but have no funding attached currently. These projects are the idea and plan for what is next for our transportation system. The PPL is created in conjunction with the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), which contains all of the transportation projects that are programmed for funding over the next five years. The PPL is the technical process to determine what project should be funded next within the TIP. Both the TIP and the PPL are created in accordance with federal guidelines. As written in 23 U.S. Code § 134, all projects that receive federal funding, “shall be selected for implementation from the approved TIP by the metropolitan planning organization designated for the area in consultation with the State and any affected public transportation operator.” While the TIP contains transportation projects that are currently or soon-to-be funded, the Metropolitan Transportation Plan or the MTP) looks further out into the future. The PPL is the bridge between these two documents. The TIP, the PPL, and the MTP, act as our guidance for what should be funded in the short-run and in the long-run.
