Florida Seaport System Plan 5.3 Current FDOT Work Program Related to Seaports FDOT makes funding available for port and port-serving transportation improvements through a variety of programs. This funding falls short of the stated investment needs of Florida’s ports. Therefore, it is essential that the Department be as efficient as possible with respect to its investments in Florida’s seaports. The Department will base these decisions on: 1) consistent, transparent, and fairly-applied decision criteria; 2) the sound evaluation of benefits and costs, similar to the level of analysis it applies to its investments in other modes of transportation; and 3) achievement of adopted FDOT goals. The most recent update to the Department’s goals is summarized in the 2060 Florida Transportation Plan (FTP). To this last point, it is recognized that FDOT does not build or operate ports, nor does it dictate their development or operation. However, by strategic and targeted application of its support, it may act to encourage port improvements and strategies that are most consistent with the Seaport Plan vision and Florida Transportation Plan goals. The seaports are responsible for identifying and programming on-port improvements. However, they also rely on landside connectors, both rail and roadway, to provide access to their markets. FDOT, MPOs, and local agencies identify and program these off-port connector projects. These off-port projects/needs are in addition to the $2.73 billion in capital improvement needs identified above. These projects are essential for efficient passenger and freight movements throughout the State’s multimodal transportation network. These projects are generally coordinated through the FDOT Seaport Office and FDOT Districts along with various interagency partners, including local governments, MPOs, and the Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic Development Council (FSTED). The rail and highway connector projects benefiting seaports typically are summarized in FDOT’s work program under rail and highway categories. Table 5.8 presents the seaport-specific projects currently reflected in FDOT’s work program by port. Over the next six years, FDOT anticipates spending over $442 million on seaport projects; this reflects all existing state funding sources. Projects include on-port terminal improvements, on-port intermodal improvements, and to a lesser degree on-port connectors (water, rail, roadway). In addition to these “seaport projects”, FDOT also funds roadway and rail projects that promote access to/from Florida’s seaports. Table 5.9 provides a summary of roadway connector projects by port. Over the next five years, FDOT anticipates spending over $1.6 billion on roadway connector projects. These include mega projects like the Port of Miami Tunnel, as well as numerous improvements such as adding lanes to existing connectors. Table 5.10 provides a port-level summary of needed investments in railroads that will specifically benefit seaports. This list exceeds $448 million and is partially funded. These include connector, bridge, and terminal improvements. 5-12 Florida Department of Transportation December 2010
Florida Seaport System Plan The dollar values presented in Tables 5.8 through 5.10 cannot simply be summed to determine the State’s overall investment in seaports. Closer scrutiny of the detailed project lists reveals that some key port projects have been duplicated across modal needs lists. While this may seem like a conflict, it in fact is actually an illustration of the recognition that seaports rely on other modes of transportation. In addition, some of these projects are not duplicates, but rather on- and off-port components that meet up at the port boundary. As such, the tables suggest a significant level of direct and indirect investment in our seaports over the next five years. Florida Department of Transportation 5-13 December 2010
