  • Transportation Element Introduction
    TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT INTRODUCTION The Transportation Element is required by State law and has been prepared in compliance with State of Florida comprehensive planning requirements for local governments. The current Transportation Element and Comprehensive Plan established a framework for multimodal transportation planning within Seminole County. This approach to transportation planning recognized the links between transportation, economic development, land use and urban design. Since its adoption, the County and its seven cities have continued to improve transportation mobility and quality of life for residents through completion of roadway, sidewalk, trails and transit facilities. Many of these improvements were funded through the renewal of the Local Option One Cent Sales Tax approved by County voters in 2001. These improvements have been focused on areas of the County that were expected to provide the greatest return of benefits in terms of community and economic development. The improvements to the County Road System, in conjunction with improvements to the State Road System, will maintain Seminole County's position of having one of the best major road systems in the Central Florida Region for several years to come. While Seminole County should take pride in the community that it has created, it must also continue to address the challenges that past successes have created. The greatest challenge is to determine how to maintain the high level of mobility over the long term in order to sustain the future development of the County at the level its residents have come to expect. This challenge has been recognized through recent efforts to address transportation mobility through land use strategies.

  • 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.

    e Executive Summary There are many benefits to fixed route transit, although some of these may not be immediately realized or quantified. One potential long-term benefit of these investments is the development and real estate impacts induced by the transit system. Community support for public transit could come more easily if transit systems could demonstrate positive fiscal impacts beyond those achieved through fare box returns. Other than direct operating revenues generated largely from fares, transit systems have the potential to generate additional public revenues through catalyzing development around transit stations and along transit routes, yielding increased property values and property taxes. The quantification of these development-related revenue streams can be a useful input into fiscal analyses of transit investments, and may demonstrate that these systems offer a greater return on investment than traditional cost recovery measures might suggest. This report provides an assessment of the property value changes and development impacts that have occurred around SunRail stations since the system’s opening. Using property appraiser data, the study team estimates tax revenue impacts that resulted from property value changes around the stations. As detailed in this report, the evidence shows that development around stations has been highly variable across the system, with some stations having experienced modest to substantial new development and other no new development of note. However, the evidence does indicate that SunRail stations have generally outperformed control areas that were identified as part of this study. The evidence illustrates that SunRail has yielded some substantial positive property value impacts - and by extension increased property taxes – to the affected jurisdictions.
