RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:
14-73.001Public Transportation
The Florida Department of Transportation hereby gives notice: That on April 10, 2024 DOT entered an Order Granting Petition for Variance from Rule 14-73-001, F.A.C. to the Sarasota County Breeze Transit (Breeze). On February 7, 2024, Breeze requested a variance to extend the submission date of Breeze's Transit Development Plan (TDP) five-year update. Notice of the Petition for Variance was published in the March 5, 2024, edition of the Florida Administrative Register. DOT granted the variance, because Breeze demonstrated the strict application of Rule 14-73-001, F.A.C, would create substantial hardship on Petitioner, and DOT determined that a one-year extension of the TDP deadline promoted the effective use of transportation resources in developing a regional TDP. No comments were received on the request for variance.
A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: The Clerk of Agency Proceedings, Department of Transportation, 605 Suwannee Street, MS 58, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0458, FDOT.AgencyClerk@dot.state.fl.us.
