Comprehensive Partner and Public Engagement
Statewide and Regional Collaboration
The Florida Transportation Plan is more than just a plan; it's a forum for regional collaboration that aims to connect communities, policies, and programs across the state. The plan will be a comprehensive statewide blueprint guiding Florida's 30-year transportation future. Updated every five years, the Florida Transportation Plan is a collaborative effort of state, regional, and local transportation partners in the public and private sectors. The plan will be developed through Steering Committee guidance, Focus Group support, and comprehensive community engagement (both partner and public engagement).
Updating the Florida Transportation Plan is important for…
FDOT’s mission is to provide a safe statewide transportation system. By updating the Florida Transportation Plan, we can identify areas where strategies can be developed to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on the state’s multimodal transportation system and reach the goal of zero fatalities.
Enhancing Safety
Promoting Efficient Movement of People and Goods
A multimodal transportation system that promotes the efficient movement of people and goods is vital for the connectedness of Florida’s communities. The Florida Transportation Plan provides a framework for implementing initiatives and actions effectively, ensuring that transportation goals and investments benefit both residents and visitors.
Engaging and Connecting the Community
Updating the Florida Transportation Plan is a collaborative effort that involves input from all people in our communities. This engagement ensures that the plan reflects the vision and priorities of Florida’s communities, while connecting them to each other as well other regions throughout our state. Transportation investments must be strategically implemented to ensure each community's needs are met.
Supporting Economic Competitiveness
The Florida Transportation Plan helps identify transportation initiatives that support economic development, job creation, business growth and the state’s economic competitiveness. A resilient transportation infrastructure is necessary to support our state’s supply chain for a mix of industries and business.
Preserving Florida’s Natural Resources and Quality of Life
The Florida Transportation Plan allows us to reassess and adapt to Florida's changing transportation landscape. It ensures that our policies, programs, and projects align with current and future transportation needs to preserve Florida’s quality of life and prioritize Florida’s environment and natural resources.
