Public meeting scheduled for St. Augustine Multimodal Transportation Center Study
Aug 28th
The public is invited to attend and share with the TPO review location options and share preferences.
With the potential to restore Amtrak service on the FEC rail line and to develop regional commuter rail, the North Florida TPO is evaluating potential sites for a future transportation hub where people can connect to rail through many transportation options. A new multimodal center will enhance economic development and tourism, while providing new mobility choices to connect the St. Augustine area with the North Florida region.
Site options were selected by a GIS-based suitability analysis using weighted criteria. Factors considered include population, employment, accessibility via rail, plane, car, bus, trolley and bike, and environmental impacts. A stakeholder working group was formed with government officials, economic development experts, community activists, rail historians and interested citizens. The group has worked to identify potential sites, weight selection criteria and evaluate parcels ensuring a thorough and objective assessment.
For more information, contact Marci Larson, North Florida Transportation Planning Organization at 904.306.7513.
