Rail or More Roads in Jacksonville's Future?
The North Florida TPO wants to know how will you invest in transportation for the future? Should it be more roads, rail, or a logical mix of both?
Some transportation problems have more than one solution, with pros and cons to each. It all depends or your priorities and preferences.
After all, you are not only a potential user of transportation infrastructure and services, you are an investor. Income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes and user fees are all sources of transportation funding at some level.

Transportation Madness
So will it be rail or more roads and sprawl in Jacksonville's future? During a recent survey, the TPO asked the local community to pick the types of transportation improvements they prefer and the top ranked choice was commuter rail, followed by "urban rail" (streetcar/light rail). Jacksonville continues to speak, will leaders listen?
