Project Description: Orlando International Airport (OIA) Connector Refresh Alternatives Analysis
The Refresh Alternatives Analysis evaluates options for providing transit service between the major activity centers in the study area with connectivity to the SunRail project. The study also develops information that will result in a recommended alternative to be potentially adopted by MetroPlan Orlando, the regional transportation planning agency. The analysis assesses community consensus, financial options, and policy support of the transit improvement alternative determined to best meet the current and future needs of a connector from the International-Drive Corridor to OIA, continuing to the Lake Nona – Medical City/Innovation Way areas, and along Osceola Parkway. The study area is bordered by Interstate 4 (I-4) on the west; Oak Ridge Road and Hoffner Avenue on the north; Narcoossee Road on the east; and Osceola Parkway on the south, in Orange and Osceola Counties, Florida. Display maps and other information about the project area will be available for public review and comment.
