Heartland Rural Mobility

The HRMP is designed to be a comprehensive multi-jurisdictional planning effort that identifies goals and objectives to serve as the guide for the development and evaluation of mobility options for the region.  The HRMP includes an extensive regional mobility needs assessment and public participation plan; outlines a strategic approach to meeting the mobility needs of the area; provides a sound business foundation for the resulting mobility program; and includes a finance and implementation plan, while addressing the mobility needs of the Heartland area especially within an economic development and land use framework.  CFRPC staffs the ongoing Heartland Rural Mobility project in cooperation with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District One.
