• Freight mobility
• Highway delay
and reliability
• Highway safety
• Limited options for
long-distance,
interregional travel
• Connectivity to
emerging economic
centers
Tampa Bay-Northeast FloridaMobility and Connectivity Needs
17
• Support development of regional
vision for North Central Florida
• Develop ultimate plan for I-75 over
next 50 years
• Develop long term strategies for
enhanced freight and passenger rail
service
• Conduct initial technical studies on
existing facilities (e.g., 301, 19)
• Conduct evaluation study for
connectivity between Suncoast II
and I-75

Tampa Bay-Central FloridaConcept Report Recommendations
28
• Executive Order 13-319 signed by Governor Scott on
November 1, 2013, creating the East Central Florida
Corridor Task Force
• The Task Force was created “for the purpose of evaluating
and developing consensus recommendations on future
transportation corridors serving established and emerging
economic activity centers in portions of Brevard, Orange and
Osceola Counties”
• A pilot study to link long-range land use
planning (50+ years) with long-range
transportation corridor planning
