  • South Florida Transit Resource Guide
    SECOND EDITION Improving the Connection between Transit and Land Use SOUTH FLORIDA TRANSIT RESOURCE GUIDE June 2015 June 15, 2015 Dear Colleague: The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) is pleased to introduce the second edition of the South Florida Transit Resource Guide, which demonstrates the vital connection between transportation and land use throughout Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties. The first edition was well received and was awarded an honorable mention in the 2010 Transportation Planning Excellence Awards sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Decisions involving transportation and land use directly affect our quality of life and the economic vitality of the region. The choices we make influence how much free time we have, where we live and work, our recreational activities, how we travel, the state of our environment, and so much more. The SFRTA seeks to coordinate, develop and implement, in cooperation with all appropriate levels of government, private enterprise and citizens a regional transportation system in South Florida that ensures mobility, the advancement of sustainable growth and improvement in the quality of life for future generations. Increased development around Tri-Rail stations not only positively impacts Tri-Rail ridership, but can also influence regional growth as it pertains to transportation and land use. Station area- development decisions are governed by the city or county in which each station is located. This publication profiles the many factors which affect how the cities and counties promote station- area development. In summary, we hope this document provides the information needed to help communities and organizations make decisions which can improve the connection between land use and transportation.

  • 2020 Florida Transit Information and Performance Handbook
    FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FLORIDA TRANSIT INFORMATION and PERFORMANCE HANDBOOK 2020 www.dot.state.fl.us | (850) 414-4500 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 2019. 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 one other separate system that ensures the mobility vanpool service provided of people and goods, enhances transportation for approximately economic prosperity and preserves the quality of our environment and communities.

  • 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.
