Make<br />

transportation<br />

decisions to<br />

promote<br />

responsible<br />

environmental<br />

stewardship.<br />

• Ensure ability for passenger and freight traffic to coexist on key corridors.<br />

• Work with local governments to develop industrial land preservation program to protect port access<br />

and expansion plans.<br />

• Reduce encroachment of incompatible land uses around major trade gateways.<br />

• Identify/develop industrial sites with efficient access to seaports.<br />

• Develop integrated logistics centers at key urban and rural locations as markets dictate.<br />

• Foster closer working relationships among economic development organizations, chambers,<br />

seaports, airports, and other freight partners.<br />

• Identify lands and water resources that host port-related or port-supporting uses, or may be<br />

important for hosting future port and port-related uses; and identify a designated buffer zone around<br />

key facilities and operating areas, within which incompatible uses should be discouraged; and<br />

include this information in Port Master <strong>Plan</strong>s. Ensure that, to the extent feasible, such lands and<br />

water resources and buffer zones are appropriately reflected in local, regional, and state land use<br />

and transportation plans.<br />

• Provide needed capacity in a way that minimizes marine impacts: first by avoiding or minimizing<br />

new landfills and channel widening/extension where possible, second by managing marine<br />

operations within sensitive habitats, third by mitigating unavoidable impacts.<br />

• Explore, with appropriate state and Federal partners, the development of a streamlined process for<br />

environmental review and implementation of dredging and other environmentally sensitive projects.<br />

• Explore, with appropriate state and Federal partners, the development of mitigation banking<br />

programs.<br />

• Support industrial land use preservation<br />

program through review of development plans<br />

and partnership with local municipalities and<br />

counties.<br />

• Encourage airports, seaports, and the freight<br />

industry to be actively involved in<br />

metropolitan planning organization (MPO)<br />

planning/regional visioning processes, and<br />

local comprehensive planning, particularly<br />

around major gateways.<br />

• Expand regional collaboration among<br />

seaports, airports, rail, and other modal<br />

providers/partners.<br />

• Work in partnership with <strong>Florida</strong> seaports and<br />

other stakeholders to support environmental<br />

protection – including facilitation of saltwater<br />

mitigation opportunities, as well as<br />

development of shore power infrastructure,<br />

reductions in truck idling queues, and<br />

maximized use of rail.<br />
