| | | | | | | | | Subject: | Funding for Sunshine Corridor Study | | Summary: | The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is proposing to conduct a study of the extension of Sunrail service along the proposed Sunshine Corridor to future connections with Orlando International Airport, the Orange County Convention Center, and Disney Springs/South I-Drive. The service extension will be studied further through FDOT’s Project Development and Environment (PD&E) process, which is necessary for entry into the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Capital Investment Grant (CIG) Program. The Sunshine Corridor PD&E study is anticipated to span two years and is projected to cost $6 million. FDOT has committed $2 million to this effort with the balance from other local funding partners. Through this action, the City of Orlando commits $500,000 towards the PD&E study as one of the local funding partners. A Locally Funded Agreement (LFA) with terms of the funding will be brought to Council for approval. | | Fiscal and Efficiency Data: | Fiscal Impact Statement Attached | | Recommended Action: | Approving an expenditure of $500,000 towards the FDOT’s PD&E study of the extension of Sunrail along the proposed Sunshine Corridor, subject to Council’s approval of an LFA with FDOT for such funding and legal review and approval by the City Attorney’s Office. | | Contact: | Cade Braud, x2180, Michelle Rhoades, x3482 |
