This is an updated version of the1995 Florida Transportation Almanac that was produced in soft cover in July 1995. This biennial publication provides an array of transportation-related statistics and information. The CD-ROM version is accompanied by the first Florida Transportation Atlas. The Almanac contains data from existing data sources throughout Florida and the United States. A range of transportation topics is covered, including demographic and travel behavior characteristics, modal statistics, tourism information, transportation finance information, transportation education and research information, and directories of transportation organizations throughout the state of Florida. Significant efforts were made to provide the most current information available; however, a uniform time span is impossible, given the wide range of topics that are included in the Almanac. The Almanac is comprised of eight major sections, as follows: Section 1, DEMOGRAPHICS, presents demographic information for the U.S., Florida, and the 67 counties in the state. All data are taken from the 1990 Census and previous. Section 2, TRAVEL BEHAVIOR CHARACTERISTICS, summarizes travel behavior characteristics and trends in Florida and the U.S. Summary statistics for all personal travel in the U.S. and Florida, as well as the aggregated metropolitan regions in Florida. In addition, characteristics of the journey to work are provided for the U.S., as well as for Florida and its counties. Section 3, MODAL STATISTICS, presents modal statistics for highways, aviation, public transportation, rail, seaports, transportation demand management activities, freight, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Section 4, TOURISM, focuses on tourism statistics for the state. Section 5, TRANSPORTATION FINANCING, presents summary data on transportation finance in Florida, including Florida’s transportation tax and fee sources and transportation costs associated with the construction and operation of various modes, including highways, bridges, airports, public transportation, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Section, 6, TRANSPORTATION EDUCATION AND RESEARCH, presents an overview of the transportation education programs available at the state’s universities and colleges and a summary of the activities of the state’s transportation research organizations. Section 7, DIRECTORY, includes a listing of contact information for various transportation- related organizations in Florida, including planning agencies, operating agencies, commissions, councils, and committees, among others. Section 8, MISCELLANEOUS, contains a list of frequently-used transportation acronyms and abbreviations, as well as a metric conversion chart. This publication was prepared to assist transportation planners, managers, decision makers, and the general public by providing a compilation of transportation statistics and other transportation- related information. The editors wish to acknowledge the assistance of all the individuals at the numerous agencies and organizations who provided information for and review of this publication.

  • PUBLIC HEARING: April 11, 2017 – Planning and Land Development Regulation Commission (PLDRC) Meeting
    Page 1 of 37 GROWTH AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIVISION CURRENT PLANNING ACTIVITY 123 W. Indiana Avenue, DeLand, FL 32720 (386) 736-5959 PUBLIC HEARING: April 11, 2017 – Planning and Land Development Regulation Commission (PLDRC) meeting SUBJECT: Request to amend Chapter 72, Section 72-296 Airport Hazards, of the Volusia County Zoning Code, creating Airport Protection and Land Use Compatibility Zone regulations pursuant to F.S. Ch. 333; and request to establish the Airport Protection and Land Use Compatibility Overlay Zone over unincorporated lands in the vicinity of publicly owned and maintained airports and radar navigation facilities LOCATION: Unincorporated Volusia County properties adjacent to airports operated by the Cities of New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Pierson, DeLand and Sanford, along with the ASR-9 radar site APPLICANT: County of Volusia STAFF: Michael E. Disher, AICP, Planner III I. SUMMARY OF REQUEST In response to statutory requirements and mandatory deadlines of F.S. 333 regarding airport protection zoning, Volusia County proposes the creation of an overlay zoning classification covering unincorporated property in the vicinity of airports publicly owned and operated by the Cities of New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Pierson, DeLand and Sanford, along with the ASR-9 radar site. All local governments in the state of Florida are required by F.S. 333 to adopt airport protection standards if located in the “airport hazard area” of a public-use airport. The purpose of these standards is to establish reasonable protections for airport operations and aircraft, to minimize the exposure of adjacent properties to airport hazards and noise, to prohibit incompatible land uses and structures around airports, and to provide for coordination between municipalities and the county.

  • U.S. President's Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief
    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS U.S. PRESIDENT’S COMMITTEE FOR HUNGARIAN REFUGEE RELIEF: Records, 1957 A67-4 Compiled by Roland W. Doty, Jr. William G. Lewis Robert J. Smith 16 cubic feet 1956-1957 September 1967 INTRODUCTION The President’s Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief was established by the President on December 12, 1956. The need for such a committee came about as a result of the United States’ desire to take care of its fair share of the Hungarians who fled their country beginning in October 1956. The Committee operated until May, 1957. During this time, it helped re-settle in the United States approximately 30,000 refugees. The Committee’s small staff was funded from the Special Projects Group appropriation. In its creation, the Committee was assigned the following duties and objectives: a. To assist in every way possible the various religious and other voluntary agencies engaged in work for Hungarian Refugees. b. To coordinate the efforts of these agencies, with special emphasis on those activities related to resettlement of the refugees. The Committee also served as a focal point to which offers of homes and jobs could be forwarded. c. To coordinate the efforts of the voluntary agencies with the work of the interested governmental departments. d. It was not the responsibility of the Committee to raise money. The records of the President’s Committee consists of incoming and outgoing correspondence, press releases, speeches, printed materials, memoranda, telegrams, programs, itineraries, statistical materials, air and sea boarding manifests, and progress reports. The subject areas of these documents deal primarily with requests from the public to assist the refugees and the Committee by volunteering homes, employment, adoption of orphans, and even marriage.

  • AAAE Delivers for Airport Executives
    AAAE DELIVERS FOR AIRPORT EXECUTIVES MEDIAKIT 1 Industry Friends and Colleagues: As we prepare for 2010, Airport Magazine is developing articles that will address industry concerns about the nation’s economic recovery; share lessons learned from the recession and the price of fuel and its impact on air service; provide timely information on regulatory and legislative issues; fulfill the far-ranging needs of airports for training information; describe the lessons airports have learned on subjects that include ARFF, technology and airfield and terminal improvements; and much more. Every feature and department in Airport Magazine is designed to deliver relevant, timely and insightful information to our readers. We have crafted our 2010 editorial calendar with these goals in mind. The 2010 lineup combines familiar topics — such as baggage screening, concessions and winter operations — with emerging ones that include NextGen and green airports. Our format will be as varied as our selection of articles: we’ll have roundtables with industry experts; articles written by airport officials; interviews with government and industry officials; and photo features to highlight aspects of our industry. Our ambitious plans for 2010 would not be possible, however, without the faithful support of Airport Magazine’s advertisers. For more than 20 years, companies that advertise to the airport community have trusted Airport Magazine to deliver their message to this audience. For potential advertisers, please consider this: by choosing our magazine to communicate your message, you are supporting not just an advertiser-funded magazine, but an entire association — the American Association of Airport Executives. All of us at Airport Magazine look forward to working with you in 2010 and beyond.
