On December 4, Chairman Dyer said that he attended a meeting with U.S. DOT Secretary Raymond LaHood, U.S. Reps. John Mica and Corrine Brown, Amtrak President Joseph Boardman, FDOT Secretary Stephanie Kopelousos and several others. At that meeting, Mr. Boardman, on behalf of Amtrak, agreed to withdraw Amtrak’s objections with regard to liability issues on the rail line that the Florida Department of Transportation intends to purchase.

  • Mica Addresses I-4 Industry Conference
    Mica Addresses I-4 Industry Conference Posted on March 6, 2013 by admin| Leave a comment “The largest infrastructure project in the history of Central Florida.” On Monday Congressman John L. Mica (Winter Park, FL) addressed more than 1,000 transportation leaders at an I-4 expansion industry meeting in Orlando. “This 21-mile expansion of Interstate 4 is the largest infrastructure project in the history of Central Florida and will employ thousands of workers over the next seven years,” Mica pointed out. As a result of Mica’s legislation, Map-21, the major transportation bill authored by Rep. Mica and enacted by Congress last year, and its reforms in national transportation policy, half of the project cost will be funded from private capital through a public/private partnership. The $2.1 billion project will expand capacity on I-4, adding four additional lanes. Toll revenues from these new lanes will finance the additional capacity and eventually pay down the bonds on the new lanes. Under Mica’s bill, all interstate highway lanes that are free will remain free and cannot be tolled in Central Florida or on any federal highway. Reforms also require that in the next few years, all electronic transponders, such as SunPass and E-Pass, must be interchangeable. Today’s forum outlined opportunities for the private sector to help finance, construct, operate and maintain the new lanes which will initially run from Kirkman Road to East of SR 434. Mica said he is working to move additional extensions from Kirkman Road to US Route 192 in the south and to Volusia County in the north.

Abstract The decision to use public transit as a means of alternative transportation is a somewhat complex process. The potential rider must know that a public transportation system is available, how to contact the public transportation system for information on how to use the system for each desired trip, where to go to catch a bus, how to recognize bus stops, which side of the street to stand on to catch a bus going to his destination, how to make transfers, the fare and fare media accepted for each trip, as well as how to read and understand bus system maps and schedules.

Chairman Dyer represented the Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission at the meeting, which also was attended by CSXT. Chairman Dyer said that the meeting led to good progress on discussions with Amtrak, CSXT and FDOT on the issue of liability during the interim period where SunRail trains would not be operating, but track construction and other construction activities associated with SunRail would be underway and Amtrak would still be running on the line. Chairman Dyer said that all have reflected on Amtrak’s need for no fault liability provisions similar to what CSXT has, but have come to agreement that none of us at the table can provide that – that falls within the Legislature’s purview.
