ABOUT THE JTA
The Jacksonville Transportation Authority , an independent state agency serving Duval County, has multi-modal responsibilities. JTA designs and constructs bridges and highways and provides varied mass transit services. JTA has a challenging role serving the largest city in the continental US by landmass. An integrated transportation network is a critical element in any community to properly manage growth, provide mobility, and offer a higher quality of life.
Transit services include express and regular bus service, community shuttles for a neighborhood ride, the downtown Skyway monorail, the St. Johns River Ferry, the Gameday Xpress for various sporting events at TIAA Bank Field, Paratransit for the disabled and elderly, and Ride Request on-demand services.
ABOUT THE U 2 C The Ultimate Urban Circulator (U 2 C) is a collaboration with JTA, the City of Jacksonville, North Florida TPO, JEA, and JAX Chamber to create a national model for the deployment of autonomous vehicles. The existing Skyway will be converted and smart technologies such as dynamic signals, connected intersections, integrated data exchange, pedestrian sensors, flood warning sensors, and power consumption reduction will be installed.
Through this, our community members will experience a lower-stress life without complete dependence on vehicles for mobility. The ability to inter-connect micro-mobility and transit options to desired destinations will improve health, as well as our community's economy and environment.
The goal of the U 2 C program is to transform Jacksonville's communities by making them more compact, walkable, and pedestrian-oriented through access to JTA’s multi-modal transit options.
