Improving transportation in Orange County

[Central Floridians for Public Transit @CFL4Transit]

We are excited to ride St Pete's new Bus Rapid Transit line! Orlando needs to build BRT on every major road as a cost effective way to deliver premium transit.

[Central Floridians for Public Transit @CFL4Transit]

Sunrail got the highest ridership in 2 years during Spring Break because of the Winter Park Art Festival, imagine how much traffic it would eliminate if people could use it for large events every weekend?

[NACTO @NACTO]

"Good transit doesn’t always have to cost a lot. In many places, the humble bus is the future of mass transit.

The bus sucks when it shows up late or gets stuck in traffic. But these problem are not hard to fix. Let us praise–and invest in–the lowly bus."

New mid-block crossing in the works! On Corrine Drive to be installed this June, it will help pedestrians cross safely. It will include a raised median, and a road sign with a flashing indicator that pedestrians can turn red with a push button before crossing.

Orange County residents have spoken — building a world class mass transit system is the top priority. Any transportation tax needs to prioritize transit above all.

[Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings @OCFLMayor]

By a vote of four to three, the board voted for a Transportation Sales Tax Referendum. This means voters will have the opportunity to decide on Nov. 8, 2022 if they want a one-cent sales tax increase as a dedicated funding source for transportation needs.

Thanks to all @OrangeCoFL commissioners for today's discussion and vote. Now we move on to making sure it passes on the ballot.

Last day to send out a quick email to the County Commissioners asking them to move the Transportation Penny Tax to the ballot!

[EndOrlandoTraffic.org @OrlandoTraffic]

Where do your county commissioners stand on the proposed transportation sales tax initiative? Will it pass Tuesday's vote to be included on the November ballot? It's tough to say. From @orlandosentinel: https://t.co/FEeKQXdQ9U

[Central Floridians for Public Transit @CFL4Transit]

A penny is a small price to pay for safe streets, frequent and reliable transit, and less traffic for drivers. Urge Commissioners to let voters decide whether to invest in a more sustainable and prosperous Orlando. https://t.co/HJo9J41rk1

[Central Floridians for Public Transit @CFL4Transit]

If you support funding for mass transit and can come out this Tuesday, join us in speaking before the Orange County Board of County Commissioners to urge them to put a Transportation Sales Tax on the ballot. We need a dedicated funding source for transit! DM us for more info.

Great overview from @OCFLMayor on why this initiative is so important, and what it can do for you.

It’s #EarthDay. In the increasingly perilous fight to protect our communities and planet from the worst impacts of climate change, the role of transportation officials has never been more crucial. 🧵

[EndOrlandoTraffic.org @OrlandoTraffic]

Happy Earth Day 🌎.
How do you get around Orlando? For most of us, that's by car. What if you had a more efficient option, both economically and environmentally?

"Within a 30-minute commute, 527,000 jobs are accessed by car … only 5,600 jobs are accessed by alternative transit options." – @TimGiuliani @ORLPartnership #OCFLSummit22

[Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings @OCFLMayor]

How we manage growth will determine the success of our region, and we must act now to plan for the future. Our current transportation system is over-burdened and under-funded, and it is time we address these issues. #OCFLSummit22

[EndOrlandoTraffic.org @OrlandoTraffic]

.@OCFLMayor is on now, making a great case for transformational changes to our community's transit system. Thank you Mayor Demings!
