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 2018.

  • 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.

    Public Transit Tips on How to Use Transportation Options in Florida SafeMobilityFL.com Finding Your Mobility Independence Florida has many public transit options but you may have questions about how to use them or about their safety. Whether you choose to use public transit because of natural age-related changes, economic changes, or simply because you want to, public transportation can help you achieve safe mobility for life. This guide will help you achieve independence through mobility, while staying safe on public transit. public transportation[ noun ] a system of vehicles such as buses and trains that operate at regular times on fixed routes and are used by the public Cambridge English Dictionary 1 Why use transit? Besides providing an alternative to driving, there are many other benefits to using public transit, ranging from financial and environmental, to health and wellness. Some benefits include: f Increased cost savings from not owning and maintaining a car f Further access to important services and activities f Increased physical activity f Reduced congestion f Lower gas consumption and emissions How can transit improve my health? Research has shown that public transit users are more physically active, since they are more likely to walk or bike to and from transit stations and stops. Regular activity and exercise reduces the risk for developing a wide range of chronic health conditions and physical disabilities. Public transit has also shown to reduce stress and improve mental health by providing safe and affordable access to social and recreational activities, allowing riders to stay actively involved in their communities. 2 Planning Your Trip What does it cost? The average transit fare in Florida is about $1.00 per one-way trip.
