Commuter Rail Feasibility Study

Study Information

The continued and rapid growth in Baker, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, Putnam and St. Johns Counties challenges the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) to provide efficient and convenient transportation throughout Northeast Florida. One of the primary goals of the JTA is to develop a multi-modal Regional Transportation System (RTS) that integrates various mobility options to handle the region's current and future transportation demands.

In developing this system, the JTA has initiated a comprehensive commuter rail feasibility study. The study will provide JTA information on whether commuter rail service will be a useable and cost-effective mobility option.

During the study the commuter rail project team will:

  • Identify the demand for commuter rail service for the years 2005, 2015 and 2030
  • Assess the region's commuter travel demand
  • Identify and evaluate preferred alignments and potential rail station sites
  • Provide capacity analysis of the existing rail system to accommodate commuter rail.
  • Examine the effect of commuter rail service on existing and planned rail freight operations and Amtrak service
  • Assess potential corridor options including existing highways and new corridors for commuter rail implementation and operation
  • Explore the possibilities of public-private partnerships to operate and maintain a commuter rail system.

The feasibility study is being conducted with the input and council from our regional partners that include the First Coast Metropolitan Planning Organization (FCMPO), the Northeast Florida Regional Council (NEFRC) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
