Florida Transportation Plan 

The Florida Transportation Plan (FTP), is the state’s long-range plan guiding Florida’s transportation future and is a plan for all of Florida – it affects every resident, business, and visitor.   The FTP is comprised of several documents that will guide our transportation partners over the next five years.  

The update of the FTP Policy Element and the FTP Performance Element were recently completed and are now available for download and viewing. The first of four documents that make up the plan, the FTP Vision Element was published in May 2020, and provides a longer-term view of major trends, uncertainties, opportunities, and desired outcomes shaping the future of Florida’s transportation system

Visit the Florida Transportation Plan website to learn more about FTP and how you can stay involved.  Involvement from different business sectors, regions, counties, and cities across Florida will help ensure the plan for Florida's transportation future reflects the needs, values, and visions of the people who call Florida home and those who visit it.
