The overall goals of these study corridors are to: improve roadway connections from I-4/SR 429 to Florida’s Turnpike, to US 192 and SR 417; provide additional traffic capacity with the study area; enhance mobility of the area’s growing population and economy; reduce congestion and delays on local roads by providing a new limited-access transportation option; provide for the incorporation of transit options; and promote regional connectivity. The work includes the evaluation and documentation of the physical, natural, social and cultural environments within the corridors and the potential impacts associated with the various mobility alternatives. Transportation demands for each corridor will be determined and a range of transportation mobility options and programs will be developed to adequately meet the future demands.
