(Jacksonville, FL – May 4, 2026) The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) has postponed the second round of community meetings for the U²C Phase II – Skyway Rehabilitation and Downtown Service Expansion Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study, which were previously scheduled for May 11–14. The meetings will be rescheduled for this fall.

The decision comes as the JTA continues to evaluate feedback received during the initial round of public meetings and works to identify the most effective project alternative options for the Skyway. Based on public feedback, the Authority will also expand its review to include more traditional transit alternatives as part of the ongoing planning process.

Overall rankings, from most supported to least supported:

  1. Alternative 5: Repurpose as Multi-Use Trail & Street-Level AVs

  2. Alternative 2: New Automated People Mover Trains

  3. Alternative 3: Convert Existing Track to AVs

  4. Alternative 1: Retrofit Existing Trains

  5. No Build

  6. Alternative 4: Remove Structure & Street-Level AVs

Additional details regarding new meeting dates and opportunities for participation will be shared in the coming months.
