FTP Florida Transportation Plan SIS Strategic Intermodal System This year, the Florida Department of Transportation celebrates its 100 year anniversary. In 1915, the Florida Legislature created the State Road Department (renamed in 1969), with six employees managing 4,721 miles of surfaced roads on a budget of $16,410. It is fitting that, with this 100-year anniversary, FDOT is revising two significant transportation plans that establish policy for the future of transportation in Florida: the Florida Transportation Plan (FTP) and the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Policy Plan. The FTP is Florida’s long-range transportation plan that provides 20+ year goals for transportation planning and implementation statewide. The FTP sets the stage for the future of all air, space, water, rail, road, bicycle, and pedestrian transportation, and is used by FDOT as well as Metropolitan Planning Organizations, local governments, Regional Planning Councils, and other partners. The SIS Policy Plan establishes policies to guide discussions about designations and funding for the state’s largest and most strategic transportation facilities. The SIS facilities are the primary means for moving people and freight between Florida’s diverse regions, as well as to other states and nations. The SIS is Florida’s highest statewide priority for transportation capacity improvements. Join the Conversation We want to hear from you! Understanding and considering ideas and concerns from people and businesses that use transportation, organizations who provide transportation services, transportation planners, and transportation builders is critical to the development of successful FTP and SIS Policy Plans. Everyone can contribute and everyone’s voice is important. We invite you to join the conversation by commenting on-line, attending a public meeting, or requesting a presentation regarding the FTP/SIS for your organization or group.
