overview of the Corridor ID program. Courtesy: FRA
This grant marks the beginning of a process to envision what connecting Florida’s largest city to its neighbors will look like, and joining the Corridor ID pipeline moves Jacksonville up the line for making that a reality. There are already past studies that can be leaned on to support these efforts. Although this is only the first of three steps in the Corridor ID process, this grant is important because it sets the tone for everything that comes after. As the initial scoping transitions into the creation of a Service Development Plan and then environmental review, FDOT and Jacksonville will have access to federal funds to support moving the corridor forward. Ultimately, once a plan is ready, this partnership will then need to seek up to 80% of the cost from the federal government.
