  • 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.

  • 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.
