The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is in the process of updating all of its modal plans (Rail System Plan, Aviation System Plan, as well as the Seaport and Waterways System Plan) for consistency with the recently completed Freight Mobility and Trade Plan (FMTP) and updated Florida Transportation Plan (FTP). For the first time, the Rail and Motor Carrier Operations Office will develop a Motor Carrier System Plan to complete the set.
FDOT's historical approach to Motor Carrier has been in terms of asset protection (compliance and size and weight issues) and safety. Going forward, we plan to also focus on the facilitation of truck movement and identifying key motor carrier policy issues.
