A STUDY OF COORDINATION OF LOCAL AND REGIONAL PUBLIC BUS TRANSIT AND FIXED GUIDEWAY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS IN FLORIDA

This study was conducted in response to Florida Senate Bill 348, enacted by the 1990 Legislature. As stated in the legislation, the study objective is: "The Transportation Commission shall study the need to coordinate local and regional public bus transit and fixed-guideway transportation systems." The legislation also lays out five study requirements: (1) An analysis of current coordination; (2) A determination of the need for coordination at the local, regional and state levels and between these levels; (3) A review of various methods for coordinating public transit and fixed-guideway systems; (4) An analysis of the applicability of such methods to Florida; and (5) Recommendations on the need for coordination, the levels of government at which coordination should occur, and methods for accomplishing the recommended coordination. This report includes an introductory section followed by sections specifically addressing each of these study requirements.
