South Florida Regional Transportation Authority Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 2016 SOUTH FLORIDA REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 A Component Unit of the State of Florida Department of Transportation SOUTH FLORIDA REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT A Component Unit of the State of Florida Department of Transportation FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 Prepared by Finance Department Accounting Division JACK L. STEPHENS C. MIKEL OGLESBY Executive Director Deputy Executive Director RICHARD D. CHESS, MBA MARGARET DALLEY-JOHNS, CPA Director of Finance Accounting Manager This page is intentionally left blank MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR On behalf of the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA), I am pleased to present the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for Fiscal Year 2016. The CAFR serves as a resource for the SFRTA Governing Board, management and staff, passengers and other stakeholders. The financial information found in this document is designed to help define the vision to accomplish the Authority’s mission, “To coordinate, develop and implement, in cooperation with all appropriate levels of government, private enterprise and citizens-at-large in the community, a viable regional transportation system in South Florida that endeavors to meet the desires and needs for the movement of people, goods and services.” The SFRTA prides itself on its commitment to meeting the needs and requests of our customers. We have successfully installed Wi-Fi at all stations and on all trains, providing a much requested enhancement of the passenger experience. We have installed 10 bike cars due to the high demand for additional capacity from customers. A real time app has been developed to allow passengers to track their trains, again a requested passenger enhancement. The new SFRTA Operations Center and Pompano Beach Station are well on the way to completion. We look forward to transitioning to our new offices by the end of the year and to the opening of the first LEED Silver certified station on the corridor. This environmentally- friendly station will use solar energy to power the facility, will contain charging stations for cars, and will be landscaped with native vegetation to reduce water consumption. Along with the Operations Center and new station, the three part project also includes a 450-car parking garage. Since its creation as the Tri-County Commuter Rail Authority in 1989 and its transition to the SFRTA in 2003, this has been a goal-driven agency which has consistently seen the completion of major priorities and initiatives. With the South Florida economic climate continuing to show improvement, we are continuing to see ridership in excess of 4 million passengers annually. More than 1 million passengers availed themselves of our free connecting shuttle service during the past fiscal year. During Fiscal Year 2016, we began to replace our existing buses with an all new fleet of Commuter Connectors. We anticipate all new rolling stock to be received and in service by the end of 2016. The most exciting development on the horizon is a partnership with All Aboard Florida (AAF) that will provide a one-seat ride into downtown Miami. Construction of the new Miami Central Station is well underway and is anticipated to be completed in mid to late 2017. Once completed and Brightline begins operation, as AAF has named its service, we will be able to transport our passengers directly into downtown Miami without the need to transfer from the Tri-Rail to Metrorail. The new station will eventually serve as the southern-most terminus of the Tri-Rail Coastal Link, a new service that is proposed to operate on the FEC corridor through the downtowns of South Florida’s coastal cities. Fiscal Year 2015 saw the transition of the maintenance and dispatch of the South Florida Rail Corridor (SFRC) to the SFRTA from CSX Transportation (CSXT). The transition has continued through Fiscal Year 2016 and has not been without its challenges, but it has finally given the SFRTA the chance to prioritize train movement to the benefit of our passengers. MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The SFRTA is continuing to work with CSXT, Florida Department of Transportation, and Amtrak to unify our efforts toward the implementation of Positive Train Control (PTC). PTC will assist in train control, preventing train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, incursion into established work zones and movement through a main line switch in the improper position. SFRTA is committed to do all within our power to install PTC by the federally mandated deadline of December 31, 2018. The SFRTA continued to attract new riders through a number of community outreach projects, two of which have become the Agency’s signature events. Annual Rail Fun Day attracted more than 2000 family members to the Fort Lauderdale Airport Station for an afternoon of fun and festivities. A highlight of the event is “South Florida Kids Got Talent,” a competition which showcases South Florida’s young singers. Senior Stars, a competition for singers over the age of 65, continues to attract large audiences and helps to reinforce the importance of Tri-Rail to the mobility of the senior community. During Fiscal Year 2016, we collaborated with Comic-Con, the Ultra Music Festival, and SunFest to expand our visibility in front of new audiences. None of these achievements would have been possible without the direction and support of the SFRTA’s dedicated, hard-working Governing Board. We also extend our thanks and appreciation to SFRTA’s management and staff for their continued commitment to achieving the Authority’s Goals and Objectives. Sincerely, Jack L.

  • The Florida Rail System Plan: Investment Element
    The Florida Rail System Plan: Investment Element prepared for the Florida Department of Transportation prepared by Cambridge Systematics, Inc. With support from Planning Innovations, Inc Quandel Consultants December 2010 Florida Department of Transportation CHARLIE CRIST " STEPHANIE C. KOPELOUSOS 605 Suwannee Street GOVERNOR Tallahassee, FL 32399-0450 SECRETARY December 14, 2010 Citizens of Florida: I am pleased to submit to you the Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan. Unlike in past years, where the Florida Rail System Plan was more descriptive of the separate freight and passenger rail systems, this plan is more visionary, strategic, and policy-driven. The plan was guided by a broad base of stakeholders, including the Rail Stakeholder Advisory Committee, members of the public and private sectors, modes of transportation, economic development and environmental interests, and citizen representatives. The Committee and others worked throughout the summer and fall of 2009 to develop an inventory of Florida's rail system needs and recommend priority investments that support the strategic goals, objectives, and policies of the Florida Rail System Plan. The Florida Rail System Plan is comprised of a Policy Element and this document, the Investment Element. The Policy Element provides a broad policy framework for the investment of limited state resources in Florida's rail system. The Investment Element builds upon the framework of the Policy Element by identifying the needs of Florida's rail system, establishing priorities for the investment of state funds, and setting forth future action steps necessary to implement the plan. Florida in the year 2030 will be shaped by the actions, decisions, and policy choices made today.

  • 3.0 Passenger Rail Services and Initiatives in Florida
    Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan 3.0 Passenger Rail Services and Initiatives in Florida 3.1 Overview Although Florida’s total population shrunk by about 60,000 residents in 2009 – a first in over three decades according to state demographers – and overall population growth rates have declined three points to approximately 2 percent annually due in large part to the nationwide recession and declining housing market, the State is expected to continue to attract retirees and residents looking for warmer weather and low costs of living. State demographers at the University of Florida predict that once the recession ends, Florida can expect to grow as much as 200,000 people per year – fewer than the 300,000 a year the State averaged during the past three decades, but enough to lead most other states in net growth. By 2035, more than 25 million people will call Florida home, representing a 56 percent increase between 2000 and 2035.45 In absolute terms, Florida will add over 9 million people to its population between this time period. Furthermore, although much of Florida’s growth will be concentrated in urbanized areas, growth will occur across Florida’s regions and urbanized area boundaries will expand across county lines. Florida’s density per square mile was 344 according to the 2009 Census and was ranked the eighth densest state in the nation. Population growth, and the associated transportation demand, will place additional pressure on all aspects of the State’s transportation system. A growing population not only adds automobiles to roadways, but the increase in economic activity to support this population also will generate additional demands for freight movement.
