Future Corridors

About

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), in cooperation with the Florida Transportation Commission, worked with statewide, regional, and local partners to initiate a Future Corridors Program. This program identified statewide transportation corridors that will be significantly improved, transformed in function or design, or newly developed over the next 50 years.

FDOT is also developing strategic plans for corridors incorporating a wide range of alternative actions and modal opportunities. More information on these activities is available HERE.

Future Corridors Planning Process

The Future Corridors Program will develop a consistent approach for statewide corridor screening and planning that can work across all types of corridors and in all parts of the state. The Action Plan provides an explanation of the porcess illustrated below.

Action Plan

Florida's Future Corridors Action Plan identifies the vision, goals and objectives, planning process, and initial implementation activities to establish the Future Corridors Program. The Action Plan was developed during 2006 based on extensive coordination with other statewide and regional partners and the public, including two statewide workshops and a formal partner and public review period.

Initial Study Areas

Re-Use Corridors - The maps linked below show existing facilities where FDOT is considering transformation (re-use) options. These maps were developed in November 2006.

New Corridors - The maps linked below show initial study areas where FDOT will work with partners to explore potential new corridors. These represent major regions that are not connected by a high-speed, high-capacity corridor today, or where existing corridors do not have the capacity to support anticipated growth in demand over the next 50 years. These maps were developed in November 2006.
