The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) was awarded a $5,650,000 Project Grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the National Infrastructure Investments (RAISE) program (CFDA 20.933). The funding will support planning, environmental review, and preliminary project development activities for four neighborhood extension corridors in the Jacksonville urban area.
Specifically, the grant funds will advance the planning and permitting processes for extensions to the U2C autonomous vehicle transit system, including the North Extension (UF Health), West Extension (Riverside), South Extension (Medical Complex), and Southeast Extension (San Marco) corridors. The project aims to expand access to sustainable, zero-emission transit services in historically underserved neighborhoods, addressing social equity and enhancing mobility options for residents and communities in the Jacksonville region. The grant-funded activities will occur over a 24-month period from September 2024 to September 2026.
