  • Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Discusses the Various Design/Build Alternatives, As Well As the No-Build Alternative
    SUMMARY AND COMMITMENTS S.1 INTRODUCTION The potential for high speed rail to address a portion of the transportation needs of the State of Florida has a long history. The current effort to evaluate high speed rail’s potential was initiated following an enactment by Florida’s voters. In November 2000, Florida’s voters adopted an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Florida that mandated the construction of a high speed transportation system in the state. The amendment required the use of train technologies that operate at speeds in excess of 120 miles per hour (mph) and consist of dedicated rails or guideways separated from motor vehicle traffic. The system was to link the five largest urban areas of Florida and construction was mandated to begin by November 1, 2003, to address a high speed ground transportation system. The purpose of Article 10, Section 19 of the Constitution of the State of Florida was, “to reduce traffic congestion and provide alternatives to the traveling public.” In June 2001, the Florida State Legislature, through the Florida High Speed Rail Authority Act, created the Florida High Speed Rail Authority (FHSRA) and charged the organization with the responsibility for planning, administering, and implementing a high speed rail system in Florida. The act also mandated that the initial segment of the system be developed and operated between St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Orlando areas with future service to the Miami area. Following its creation in 2001, the FHSRA proceeded to implement the responsibilities set forth in the Florida High Speed Rail Authority Act.

  • Final Environmental Impact Statement – Section 2
    SECTION 2 ALTERNATIVES This section of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) discusses the various Design/Build Alternatives, as well as the No-Build Alternative. It summarizes information from the previous studies that examined the feasibility of high speed rail in Florida. It then moves to the current Florida High Speed Rail (FHSR) Study and examines the study corridors that are initially identified, evaluated, and documented within the study area. Then, the corridors/station locations retained for further analysis are presented. The last Design/Build Alternatives discussion combines corridors/station locations retained for further analysis with the viable design/build technology proposals. 2.1 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF HIGH SPEED RAIL Over the last 20 years, there has been increasing growth in population and significant change in land use from rural to urban along the Interstate 4 (I-4) corridor. In recognition of these changes and the need to increase the overall transportation capacity, the Florida Legislature began addressing high speed rail options in the 1970s. Section 1, Purpose and Need, provides a detailed description of the history of high speed rail studies in Florida. The following paragraphs summarize the early studies’ significant conclusions which provide the foundation for this current high speed rail study. In 1976, the Florida Transit Corridor Study1 proposed use of: • Limited access highway medians as a potential location for high speed rail. • Existing rail corridors, both on and parallel to the existing roadway facilities. • A rail envelope within medians of limited access roadways set at 44 feet (ft.) for a dual track. In 1984, the Florida Future Advanced Transportation Report2 recommended using: • Public/private partnerships to proceed with the implementation of a FHSR system.

  • Appendix a Florida High Speed Rail
    APPENDIX A FLORIDA HIGH SPEED RAIL Tampa to Orlando Final Environmental Impact Statement Reevaluation U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration Florida Department of Transportation In Cooperation with: Federal Highway Administration United States Army Corps of Engineers Hillsborough, Orange, Osceola, Polk Counties, Florida May, 2010 FLORIDA HIGH SPEED RAIL FEIS REEVALUATION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This reevaluation describes modifications to the design and existing conditions and documents the resulting changes in environmental impacts and commitments since publication of the Florida High Speed Rail, Tampa to Orlando Final Environmental Impact Statement in 2005. This reevaluation has been prepared to assist decision-makers and the public understand how refinements to the design, including the switch from the gas turbine to electric technology, and changes in the existing conditions would compare to the impacts documented in the FEIS for the Preferred Alternative. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has prepared this reevaluation in cooperation with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) as the lead federal agency. The FRA is an operating administration within the USDOT and has oversight responsibility for the safety of railroad operations nationwide. Cooperating federal agencies include the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). FDOT and the FRA have determined that a reevaluation of the FEIS published in 2005 is appropriate to satisfy the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and obtain a Record of Decision. The initial section of the Florida High Speed Rail (FHSR) system is proposed between downtown Tampa and Orlando International Airport. This system would be developed on new track, with the majority of the system located within the rights-of-way (ROW) of Interstate 4 (I-4) and the Beachline Expressway (S.R.

  • Florida High-Speed Rail: an Economic Policy Analysis Sierra Garrett
    Florida State University Libraries Honors Theses The Division of Undergraduate Studies 2011 Florida High-Speed Rail: An Economic Policy Analysis Sierra Garrett Follow this and additional works at the FSU Digital Library. For more information, please contact [email protected] Abstract High-speed rail technology has existed for decades, and with aid from the federal government, public ownership of the right-of-way, and preliminary research and planning, Florida may be the first state to construct a true high-speed line. High-speed rail has implications for sustainability as well as growth, though the determining factor for feasibility is ridership. Finance and management/operation plans are also important to consider as these factors determine whether or not the project will be implemented and if it will require subsidy in order to operate. This paper will examine current financing and ridership forecasting methods and results for high-speed rail in Florida. Successful international high-speed rail projects will be examined, as well as the federal government’s role in implementing transportation projects. Details of the Florida proposal will be examined for their economic influence, including job creation, environmental impact, and economic growth. Governor Rick Scott’s decision to return federal funds for high-speed rail will be examined, and an analysis of the high-speed rail debate will be conducted. This paper should give an overall sense of viability for the current proposal for Florida High-Speed Rail under the American Recovery and Reinvestment

  • Section 4 Environmental Consequences
    SECTION 4 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES 4.1 COMMUNITY IMPACTS 4.1.1 Community Cohesion In February 1994, the President of the United States issued Executive Order 12898 (Environmental Justice) requiring federal agencies to analyze and address, as appropriate, disproportionately high adverse human health and environmental effects of federal actions on ethnic and cultural minority populations and low-income populations. All proposed projects should include measures to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate disproportionately high and adverse impacts and provide offsetting benefits and opportunities to enhance communities, neighborhoods, and individuals affected by these activities. Avoidance of impacts to low-income and minority populations was one of the initial study goals as the Florida High Speed Rail Authority (FHSRA) identified alternate alignments. The primary focus was to locate alignments near or within previously disturbed areas, such as the right-of-way (ROW) of limited access roadways and within existing railroad corridors, in order to minimize impacts to all neighborhoods. In most areas, the land uses abutting the roadways are commercial or rural non-residential uses. As detailed in Section 6, community outreach included two series of workshops and a series of public hearings to provide information and opportunity for input from the communities. The following section addresses land use and population impacts for the No-Build Alternative and the Design/Build Alternatives 1 through 8. Figure 2-7 displays retained corridors and alignments. The various combinations of alignments (routes) within the corridors results in the eight alternatives displayed in Figure 2-8. Alternatives 1, 2, 5, and 6 contain Alignment A1. Alignment A1 abuts Interstate 275 (I-275) from its western terminus until it turns east at the I-275/Interstate 4 (I-4) interchange.
