A Multimodal Tour Of Central Florida

Sunday, August 3, 2008

The American Public Transportation Association has scheduled its annual Intermodal Operations Planning Workshop in Miami on Monday, August 4, through Wednesday, August 6, 2008.

A signature element of the annual workshops is the Multimodal Tour offered to workshop participants who arrive early, conducted by Gannett Fleming’s Tom Hickey. The Multimodal Tours offer transit professionals with the opportunity to experience how different types of transit systems and modes from a “passenger-eye” perspective.

This year’s Multimodal Tour concentrates on Central Florida. The Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (“Lynx”) has long been a national leader in creative multimodality, from their LYMMO bus rapid transit line and their approach to passengers facilities to the manner in which they market their services to prospective commuters. Disney Transport provides an extensive network of multimodal guest services — entirely privately owned and operated—using a fleet of over 1,000 buses, monorails and ferries centered on high-volume passenger facilities. We will look at both systems operations and facilities as well as hear about their plans for expansion and improvements.

The Multimodal Tour of Central Florida is a full-day affair departing from the lobby of the workshop hotel about 6:00 AM (subject to change). Meal breaks are planned as part of the itinerary. There is no charge for the tour other than the cost of the bus charter and your meals. Complete details will be forwarded to participants as soon as the schedule is finalized.

Participation is limited to 40 people. Please contact Tom Hickey via e-mail (THICKEY@GFNET.COM) or phone (610-306-3066) to reserve your place or for more information.
