<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 />
