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.

Most transit agencies have hundreds of accidents per year. While each accident may be reviewed carefully as an individual incident, at many Florida transit systems there has been very little formal analysis of all accidents on an aggregate basis, and a tool to identify the effectiveness of capital and operational safety campaigns.

  • Florida Transit Systems Overview and Funding
    The Florida Senate Issue Brief 2012-224 August 2011 Committee on Transportation FLORIDA TRANSIT SYSTEMS OVERVIEW AND FUNDING Statement of the Issue There are 30 fixed-route transit systems distributed across the state’s urbanized areas. Each system is controlled by a local government or a regional association of local governments. While these transit systems play an important role in ensuring the mobility of many Floridians, none are financially self-supporting. Transit systems include buses, subways, light rail, commuter rail, monorail, passenger ferry boats, trolleys, inclined railways, and people movers. Para-transit services for seniors and for persons with disabilities, as well as vanpool and taxi services operated under contract to a public agency are also considered transit systems. Transit services in Florida consist of two major programs, the fixed-route and demand responsive services. This report focuses on Florida’s fixed-route transit systems. Discussion National Overview Mass transportation was predominantly provided by the private sector up until the 1950s and 1960s. However, this began to change in the 1950’s due to the mass production of affordable automobiles and heavy investment by the federal government in highway systems. Private providers of transit could not maintain competitive transit systems and many went bankrupt. In 1958, Congress removed any control state governments had previously exercised over the railroads abandonment of various local passenger services, immediately resulting in the closing of several important commuter rail services and in railroads planning to close even more passenger services. In 1964, the Urban Mass Transportation Act established a program of federal capital assistance for public transit, providing $375 million in capital assistance over three years.
