Abstract This report provides guidance in developing a multimodal transportation element of a local government comprehensive plan. Two model elements were developed to address differences in statutory requirements for communities of different sizes and planning context. The first model element includes guidance for large local governments and those within the boundary of a metropolitan planning organization (MPO). The second includes guidance for smaller or more rural communities outside of MPO boundaries. Each model element encourages a range of best practices in multimodal transportation planning as identified through a review of the literature, agency plans, and related documents. The guidance is designed for consistency with §163.3177(6)(b), Florida Statutes (F.S.), of the 2011 Florida Community Planning Act. As such, emphasis is placed on ensuring a multimodal transportation system appropriate to the size and character of the community, providing for public transportation as feasible, improving accessibility and connectivity between modes, and coordination with land use and plans of other transportation agencies and modal providers. Contents include guidance on establishing a community vision and priorities, relevant and professionally accepted data sources and analysis procedures/tools, guidance on existing and future conditions analysis and mapping, establishing quality/ level of service standards and other performance measures or benchmarks, future transportation system network planning strategies, and example goals, objectives, policies, and strategies. 17.

The report is intended for use by local government planners and consultants in preparing a multimodal transportation element of the local government comprehensive plan. Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) staff will also find it useful in their review of local government comprehensive plans and plan amendments in relation to the state transportation system. The model elements set forth best practices that relate to Florida’s multimodal transportation planning requirements. FDOT staff and local governments should also refer to FDOT Procedure Topic No. 525-010-101-d: Review of Local Government Comprehensive Plans, as well as applicable sections of Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, and related guidance from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, Division of Community Development (State Land Planning Agency), and the Florida Department of Transportation to ensure that all State of Florida requirements regarding comprehensive plan amendments and transportation planning are met. vii Executive Summary All local governments in Florida must prepare and adopt a comprehensive plan that guides future development and growth in accordance with Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes (F.S.). Comprehensive plans must contain a number of elements, including a transportation element that addresses mobility issues in relation to the size and character of the local government. The plans are to be based on relevant and professionally accepted data sources and analysis methods, and address a variety of issues including multimodal transportation system needs coordinated with future land uses, levels of service, availability of facilities and services, correction of existing deficiencies, and methods for meeting identified needs. When the Florida Community Planning Act was enacted in 2011, many local planning requirements formerly contained in Rule 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) were codified in statute. The Community Planning Act also made sweeping changes to Florida’s planning and growth management requirements, making transportation concurrency optional and adding multimodal transportation planning requirements. For example, Chapter 163.3177(6)(b), F.S. indicates that the purpose of the transportation element is to plan for a multimodal transportation system “that places emphasis on public transportation systems, where feasible. The element shall provide for a safe, convenient multimodal transportation system, coordinated with the future land use map or map series and designed to support all elements of the comprehensive plan.” The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) asked the National Center for Transit Research (NCTR) at the University of South Florida (USF) to develop model multimodal transportation elements that can serve as guides for Florida local governments when updating their local government comprehensive plans to meet the provisions of the 2011 Florida Community Planning Act and specifically §163.3177(6)(b),

    Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan 2.0 Current Freight Rail System and Services in Florida 2.1 Overview The Florida rail system is comprised of 2,786 miles of mainline track, which are owned by 15 operating line-haul railroads and terminal or switching companies, as well as 81 miles owned by the State of Florida. Florida’s rail system includes 2 Class I Railroads (CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Corporation), 1 Class II (Florida East Coast Railway), 11 Class III (Alabama and Gulf Coast Railway AN Railway, Bay Line Railroad, First Coast Railroad, Florida West Coast Railroad, Florida Central Railroad, Florida Midland Railroad, Florida Northern Railroad, Georgia and Florida Railway, Seminole Gulf Railway, and South Central Florida Express) and 1 railroad specializing in switching and terminals (Talleyrand Terminal).9 The largest operator in the State is CSX Transportation, which owns more than 53 percent of the statewide track mileage. In 2008, Florida’s railroads carried nearly 1.6 million carloads – 19 percent less than in 2006 – and approximately 83 million tons of freight, representing a 25 million ton (23 percent) decrease from 2006.10 During that year, railroads handled freight equivalent to roughly 5.0 million heavy trucks.11 Nonetheless, railroads continue to support thousands of jobs throughout the State and assist Florida’s industries to remain competitive with international and domestic markets for fertilizer, construction rock, consumer goods, paper products, processed 9 U.S. Class I Railroads are line-haul freight railroads with 2007 operating revenue in excess of $359.6 million (2006 operating revenues exceeding $346.7 million).

    INVESTING IN Program Highlights | 2016 1 INVESTING IN The SIS n 2003, the Florida Legislature and Governor established the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) to enhance Florida’s transportation mobility and Ieconomic competitiveness. The SIS is a statewide network of high-priority transportation facilities, including the State’s largest and most significant WHAT IS THE airports, spaceports, deep-water seaports, freight rail terminals, passenger rail and intercity bus terminals, rail corridors, waterways and highways. These facilities represent the state’s primary means for moving people and freight between Florida’s diverse regions, as well as between Florida and other states STRATEGIC and nations. SIS Facilities are designated through the use of objective criteria and thresholds based on quantitative measures of transportation and economic activity. These facilities meet high levels of people and goods movement and INTERMODAL generally support major flows of interregional, interstate, and international travel and commerce. Facilities that do not yet meet the established criteria and thresholds for SIS designation, but are expected to in the future are referred to as Emerging SIS. These facilities experience lower levels of people SYSTEM? and goods movement but demonstrate strong potential for future growth and development. The designated SIS and Emerging SIS includes 17 commercial service airports, two spaceports, 12 public seaports, over 2,300 miles of rail corridors, over 2,200 miles of waterways, 34 passenger terminals, seven rail freight terminals, and over 4,600 miles of highways. These hubs, corridors and connectors are the fundamental structure which satisfies the transportation needs of travelers and visitors, supports the movement of freight, and provides transportation links to external markets.

  • 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.

  • John Murray Plots His Course for Port Canaveral
    MENU FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF [email protected] From the Orlando Business Journal: https://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/news/2017/07/13/john-murray-plots-his-course-for-port-canaveral.html John Murray plots his course for Port Canaveral SUBSCRIBER CONTENT: Jul 13, 2017, 5:45pm EDT I t was the ideal day for anyone to be at Port Canaveral. The massive 2,974-passenger Carnival Liberty cruise ship was docked and prepping for its next voyage. Cargo trucks were loading and unloading products headed inland. And — rarest of them all — a SpaceX rocket booster was being moved onto land from a barge, to be repaired and readied for its next mission launch. JIM CARCHIDI That’s all exciting and new for port visitors. But it was just another day in the office for Capt. John Murray, the port’s CEO and a licensed U.S. Coast Guard captain. It’s been a year and a half since Murray assumed the helm of Port Canaveral in January 2016. Murray replaced former port CEO John Walsh, who agreed on Sept. 23, 2015, to resign after making some controversial comments to Cape Canaveral locals. But even before Murray took over, Port Canaveral’s business portfolio was booming, leading to this year’s estimated revenue of nearly $100 million. Most of that revenue — more than $61 million from wharf and docking operations — comes from cargo, cruise ships and other uses from clients like SpaceX that have facilities at the port. In addition, the port plans to begin construction in late summer 2018 on the $150 million Cruise Terminal 3 that’s set to be completed by 2019.
