Phases

RAISE Planning Grant

The JTA was awarded a RAISE Planning Grant from the U.S. DOT, which will advance the planning, environmental review and permitting, and preliminary project development activities for four Urban Circulator routes in the City of Jacksonville.

The city is expanding the area served by existing 2.5-mile Skyway Automated People Mover through the use of fully electric autonomous vehicles operating along specific corridors in both dedicated facilities and mixed traffic. The first expansion (Bay Street Innovation Corridor) is currently in design, while this grant will fund pre-construction activities for 7.5 additional expansion miles consisting of North Extension (UF Health) Corridor, West Extension (Riverside) Corridor, South Extension (Medical Complex) Corridor, and Southeast Extension (San Marco) Corridor.

Project Status: Negotiating Grant Agreement with U.S. DOT and FTA

Next Steps: Upon executed grant agreement, initiate procurement for RAISE Planning Grant - Ultimate Urban Circulator (U2C): Neighborhood Extension and Planning Project

Planned Project Completion Date: November 30, 2026
