Bill Summary

Authorizing the Department of Transportation to use appropriated funds for the establishment of a statewide system of interconnected multiuse trails; prioritizing projects for funding; requiring funded projects to be included in the department's work program; providing that the department is not responsible for or obligated to provide funds for the operation and maintenance of any such project, etc.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Department of Transportation (DOT) to use state funds to create a statewide network of interconnected multiuse trails, which are paths designed for both bicycles and pedestrians. The DOT will prioritize projects that are recognized as important by the Florida Greenways and Trails Council, help meet the transportation needs of cyclists and walkers, have significance at a national, state, or regional level, or connect existing trail segments to fill gaps. Any project receiving funding must be included in the DOT's official work plan, and importantly, the DOT will not be responsible for the ongoing operation and upkeep of these trails once they are built; that responsibility will fall to another entity.
