Florida Transportation Plan 

OPP is in the process of an update to The Florida Transportation Plan (FTP), the state’s long-range plan guiding Florida’s transportation future. The FTP is a plan for all of Florida – and affects every resident, business, and visitor.   

The FTP Virtual Room, our online public  meeting is open!  We encourage you to stop by to walk through the seven goal stations and provide your input on the draft strategies.  We value your input because without it, the FTP cannot reflect the needs, values, and visions of the people who call Florida home and those who visit it. 

The first of four documents that make up the plan, the Vision Element published in May 2020, provides a longer-term view of major trends, uncertainties, opportunities, and desired outcomes shaping the future of Florida’s transportation system. The FTP is important because it not only sets a long-range vision for the future, but it guides transportation decisions.
