The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, is holding a second Alternatives Public Meeting for the proposed Lakeland Intermodal Center, Financial Project ID: 442569-1. The purpose of the planning study is to identify and evaluate potential sites for a new transportation hub in Lakeland that would serve multiple local and intercity transit services. FDOT is holding this public meeting to inform the community of the project updates and offer an opportunity to review and provide feedback on two potential sites and the evaluation criteria which will be used to select the preferred site.
