The Florida Freight Advisory Committee Meeting announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME: Friday, April 21, 2017, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

PLACE: FDOT Burns Building Auditorium

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: On December 4, 2015, the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) was signed into law Public Law 114-94. The FAST Act funds surface transportation programs at over $305 billion for fiscal years (FY) 2016 through 2020. It is the first long-term surface transportation authorization enacted in a decade that provides long-term funding certainty for surface transportation.

The FAST Act requires USDOT to encourage each State to establish a State freight advisory committee, to consist of a representative cross-section of public and private freight stakeholders.

Florida Freight Advisory Committee (FLFAC) members, affiliates, and attendees will work in cooperation with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) as an advisor to the Department’s multimodal freight planning process. This advisory committee will also add value to freight activities and strengthen the State's position to be the primary freight hub in the United States.
