Desired OutcomesDesired Outcomes
Short-Term• Initial statewide corridors ready for detailed feasibility studies
beginning in 2007, with others to follow
Long-Term• Network of existing, re-used, and new statewide and regional
corridors that Will serve Florida over the next 50 years Support statewide and regional policy objectives Are planned, financed and managed in collaboration with the public
and private sectors

ApproachApproach
Identify, assess, and expedite most promising statewide corridors through 3 parallel initiatives• Re-use and other major enhancements to existing statewide
corridors
• Expanded freight and passenger rail service
• New statewide corridors (joint effort of FDOT and Florida Transportation Commission)
Coordinate statewide corridors with ongoing planning for existing and new regional corridors
