Planned Transportation Spending

Florida

An examination of Florida’s 2010-2013 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program reveals projects classified as “other,” which include appropriations to the state’s infrastructure bank, statewide contingency funds for unspecified projects and non-project specific transportation planning funds, account for the largest chunk of the state’s proposed expenditures (32 percent). At 23 percent of the STIP, road maintenance/minor widening projects follow. New road capacity projects account for 19 percent and transit projects*15 percent of the planned spending. Bridge maintenance/replacement projects make up 5 percent of the program, and safety projects 3 percent. Bridge capacity expansion projects account for 2 percent of the proposed spending, and bicycle/pedestrian projects 1 percent. Less than 1 percent of the STIP’s funds are spent on road or bridge projects with bicycle/pedestrian components (such as adding sidewalks when reconstructing a roadway).
