If only traveling along
I-4 were as easy as navigating the upcoming myregion.org
workshops series! Just like driving down a busy highway, there will be plenty
of landscape to see, as participants make their way through one or more in an
variety of 90-minute workshop sessions that will cover a array of essential
issues.
The four-day series, which
is the last public session in this phase of myregion.org,
will kick off with the Transportation workshop. Featured in this session will
be a set of extraordinary maps detailing the complexity of the regions
transportation system and defining its patterns throughout Central Floridas
seven-county region. Additionally, they will provide a clear picture of how
the Central Florida region is connected to the Super Region, North America
and globally.
The Transportation maps
provide an extraordinary look at Central Floridas airport, seaports, railroad
and transit systems as well as the areas major highway and roadway systems
and plans. Additionally, the maps will detail pertinent data that ranges from
FAA designations and volume to traffic counts and ridership figures.
The maps also will show freight train travel as well as tonnage on vessels using
the port systems.
An interesting example is
this map showing the interstates and major highways. Please note the pattern
of toll roads and the importance of I-4 as a major connector of the region.

This is an impressive
compilation of data that will provide us with a remarkably clear picture of
how complex and diverse our regions t
ransportation
system is right now, said Transportation Template Co-Chair Rita Kane.
This will play a key role in establishing a framework for the future for
us.
