Transportation Improvement Program that Creates Jobs
A 30-Year Investment in Safer, Smarter Mobility
The Jacksonville Transportation Authority’s (JTA) MobilityWorks 2.0 program is comprised of 17 projects funded by the extension of the Local Option Gas Tax (LOGT). Over the next 30 years the program will invest $490 million in infrastructure and generate an estimated 1,600 direct and 2,660 total jobs. The program includes neighborhood-connecting trails, a new ferry vessel and docking facilities, ADA-complaint bus stop upgrades, and a range of roadway and transit enhancements that improve access and safety citywide.
Shaped by Community Priorities
Approved in May 2021, the LOGT ordinance shaped the project list for Mobility 2.0. These projects target transit, pedestrian, cycling, and safety improvements in Duval County. Community input is gathered through charrettes and outreach with guiding features that include sidewalks, crosswalks, bike paths, lighting, bus shelters, landscaping and more. This process helps address local safety needs such as lighting gaps and first/last-mile barriers.
Progress You Can Track
Planning and design for MobilityWorks 2.0 projects began in 2022, with construction efforts that launched in 2023. The program is being implemented in phases over the next 30 years, with completion anticipated by 2052. Throughout the process, the online dashboard will provide a transparent view of jobs created, safety-focused investments, and overall expenditures, allowing the public to track both economic impact and community progress in real time.
