Florida Seaport System Plan - SeaCIP

Florida Seaport System Plan
The Seaport System Plan was developed by the FDOT in the following manner:
• Existing seaport and FDOT planning documents were compiled and
reviewed.
• FDOT established a formal Seaport System Plan Working Group,
maximizing partner input. The group included a diverse mix of
stakeholders, including: Florida’s seaports, FDOT, DCA, OTTED,
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Enterprise Florida, Metropolitan Planning Organization
Advisory Council (MPOAC), railroads, shippers, elected officials, and
more.
• The group specifically was charged with developing policy
recommendations for consideration and use by FDOT during preparation of
the Seaport System Plan. The Working Group met five times in open
public meetings to develop policy recommendations to guide the Plan, to
develop recommendations for the 2010 SIS Strategic Plan, and to review
and discuss technical material to be used as input to the Plan.
• Analyses and updates from the recent 2010 Strategic Plan Update, the
ongoing Florida Transportation Plan update, and the Florida Trade and
Logistics Study were incorporated as appropriate.
• A 30-day public review process was used to gather stakeholder input on the
draft Plan. Comments were reviewed and incorporated in the Plan as
appropriate.
