The Jacksonville Transportation Authority’s (JTA) MobilityWorks 2.0 program is comprised of 17 projects funded by the extension of the Local Option Gas Tax (LOGT). MobilityWorks 2.0 will invest $490 million dollars in the community over the next 30 years and generate an estimated 1,600 direct jobs. The projects vary in scope from trails that connect neighborhoods, the purchase of a new ferry vessel and docking facilities construction, bus stop improvements to roadway and transit enhancements throughout the city.
The LOGT ordinance approved in May 2021 shaped the project list for MobilityWorks 2.0. These projects target transit, pedestrian, cycling, and safety improvements in Duval County. Community input will be collected through charrettes and community outreach, focusing on aspects such as sidewalks and crosswalks, bike paths, transit accessibility, lighting, bus shelters, landscaping, and more.
Planning and design for MobilityWorks 2.0 projects began in 2022 with construction efforts beginning in 2023. The projects will be constructed over the next 30 years, with project completion anticipated by 2052. The dashboard provides a detailed look at jobs created and expenditures to date.
JTA is an independent state agency with multi-modal responsibilities serving Duval County. JTA designs and constructs bridges and highways and provides varied mass transit services. JTA’s vision is for a thriving and connected Northeast Florida powered by seamless mobility solutions for all.
