A grassroots vision for transforming how Jacksonville moves.
Embedded Files
Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida, and the tenth-largest in the United States. Its transportation system has arrived at a critical moment to guide the city's future, potentially a moment as transformative as the Mathews Bridge in 1953, which sparked the beginning of the suburban revolution.
Now is the time to bet on Jacksonville's future, instead of betting against it with an experiment that's not ready for what Jaxons need from transit.
Great cities around the world have built great transit to serve their residents and visitors. GoJAX is a vision for how Jacksonville can, too.
The Mission
Establish a vision to meet Jacksonville's modern transportation needs while growing the economy & enhancing the region's quality of life for residents & visitors.
The Vision
Programs
Regional Rail
Supporting the expansion of Brightline intercity rail to North Florida via St. Johns County, while establishing new regionial rail lines to Jacksonville International Airport, Clay County, Nassau County, and Baldwin.
Rail Transit
Replacing the U2C plan with common-sense expansion of the Skyway and the introduction of a rail transit system that makes the long-needed connection between Downtown & the Beaches while enhancing quality of life.
Better Bus Rapid Transit
The expanded BRT program would build on our existing investment in the First Coast Flyer network, while making key connections to rail systems and neighborhoods.
Transit-Oriented Communities
Relieving residents of the burdens of traffic and providing the groundwork for housing they can afford, the transit network would support the rise of mixed-use, walkable communities around transit stations.
