Where Do We Go From Here?  Working with lead agencies/entities to implement policy directives  Hiring full-time freight coordinators in each FDOT district  Trade & Logistics education for FDOT & partners  Developing design/engineering standards that more fully account for the movement of freight  Folding freight project priorities into the Department’s Work Program  Working with local & regional governments to develop more detailed area freight plans

Planning for Future Corridors  Improve connectivity between regions and between Florida and other states/nations  Coordinate long-range growth/transportation plans and visions

Corridors of the Future  More options for personal travel  Emerging technologies such as automated or connected vehicles  Careful location and design to protect and enhance Florida’s environment and communities  Co-location with energy, communications and other infrastructure

Future Corridors  Northwest Florida  Tampa Bay-Northeast Florida*  Tampa Bay-Central Florida*  Southeast Florida-Heartland- Central Florida  Southwest Florida-Heartland- Central Florida * Concept Reports Complete

Other FDOT Planning  Several Planning Efforts Are About To Kickoff – Florida Transportation Plan – Seaport/Waterway System Plan – Rail System Plan
