MOVING FLORIDA FORWARD INFRASTRUCTURE INITIATIVE
- The 2023 Florida Legislature approved the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative to address critical state roadway needs.
- FDOT selected key projects, including previously approved but unfunded ones with community support.
- $4 billion from the state surplus is dedicated to accelerate construction and improve safety, congestion, and resiliency.
- The initiative responds to rapid population growth, projected at 1,000 new residents per day for 30 years.
- Investments focus on major interstates and arterial roads to support the movement of people and goods.
- Combined with FDOT's ongoing work program, Florida's five-year transportation budget now totals $66.1 billion.
- In Southwest Florida, this includes the I-75 at Pine Ridge Road Interchange Improvements in Naples, and I-75 from Golden Gate Parkway to Alico Road.
