<strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Seaport</strong> <strong>System</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
It is imperative that FDOT, the seaports, and other key partners work together<br />
to maximize the use of these funding programs. Collaboration and coordination<br />
help ensure success for competitive programs like TIGER/TIGER II and<br />
discretionary programs within the Federal transportation bill. Decision-makers<br />
like to see joint applications and public sector endorsements of projects. For<br />
established state programs, like the SIS, it is important that the seaports and<br />
FDOT establish appropriate priorities and justifications to help promote<br />
allocation of funds. Over the next decade, as the state, and nation as a whole,<br />
work to refine how to pay for transportation investments, the seaport<br />
partnerships and priorities must continue to be elevated. In addition, as <strong>Florida</strong><br />
revisits its opportunities to grow the trade and logistics industry, economic<br />
development resources should be reviewed and used as appropriate to support<br />
ongoing direct and indirect seaport investments.<br />
