BRT Project Information
Part of the planning and implementation of a BRT system requires
undergoing a series of projects that follow the guidelines of the
Federal Transit Administration (FTA), to secure federal government
funding. These projects will examine potential impacts along the
proposed alignment alternatives and help the project team determine
the best system alternative to run within the proposed corridors.
Currently, the BRT project team is conducting a Phase One Downtown
Environmental Assessment project and system wide Tier One Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement project. View the project links to
learn more.
Phase One Downtown Environmental Assessment and Preliminary
Design Project
The Phase One Downtown Environmental Assessment and
Preliminary Design Project will be the first step in
the development of the regional BRT system.
The Phase One project will examine the proposed
downtown corridor alignments for environmental, construction
and parking related impacts, as well as, potential transit
stop locations. Phase One project improvements will
reduce the number of roadways that buses use in the
downtown, provide more frequent reliable service to
the Downtown and through the system. The Downtown system
is expected to be in full operation by Fall 2010. We
encourage you to view the project information and frequently
asked questions (FAQ's).
What's New
Jacksonville Transportation Authority is pleased to
announce that federal funding in the amount of $9.3
million has been budgeted for the Downtown Bus Rapid
Transit project. This funding will provide for the construction
of rush hour dedicated bus lanes on Broad and Jefferson
streets, additional pedestrian amenities and enhanced
bus super stops (which are regular stop stations that
feature lighting, real time information and nice landscaping).
The project will help remove buses from the core of
Downtown streets, consolidate routes while providing
more frequent service to passengers.

Tier One Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS)
The Tier One Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement
(PEIS) project will examine the four proposed BRT corridor
alignments and the potential transit stop locations for
possible community and environmental impacts. During the
project, various public involvement opportunities will
be provided and JTA, with FTA approval in fall 2007, will
begin purchasing needed right-of-way and properties from
willing sellers only. We encourage you to visit the project
information and frequently asked questions (FAQ's).
What's New
After completing the review of the Tier One Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement, The Federal Transit Administration
(FTA) has granted the Jacksonville Transportation Authority
the Record of Decision (ROD), to begin Purchasing right-of-way
for future Bus Rapid Transit station locations, read

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority has completed
preparation of the Tier One Programmatic Environmental
Impact Statement, read

Tier One Project FAQ's
Station Maps with highlighted parcels of interest
In conducting the Tier One PEIS, the JTA identified parcels
of interest that could be useful in the development of
planned BRT station locations. These parcels are considered
of interest because they are located in activity centers
for transit service. The entire parcel is shown on the
maps even if JTA is only interested in a portion of the
property to gain environmental clearance from the Federal
Transit Administration. Click here
