The Ultimate Urban Circulator (U2C) is a comprehensive program to modernize and expand the Skyway and introduce autonomous vehicles (AVs) into JTA’s transportation system.

The Skyway Rehabilitation & Downtown Service Expansion Capital project will convert the existing Skyway Superstructure and eight stations into an elevated roadway for AVs. The current bi-directional tracks run approximately 2.5 miles in each direction. Beginning at the Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center at LaVilla, the U2C elevated stations will include four additional stations on the Downtown Northbank, and across the St. Johns River over the Acosta Bridge to three stations on the Downtown Southbank. There will also be street-level connections to the Bay Street Innovation Corridor.

The Skyway Rehabilitation & Downtown Service Expansion project was included in FY 24 procurement.
