STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM

• What is it?

The SIS is a statewide network of high-priority
transportation facilities, including the states
largest and most significant commercial service
airports, spaceport, deepwater seaports, freight
rail terminals, passenger rail and intercity bus
terminals, rail corridors, waterways and
highways.

FLORIDA INTRASTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM (FIHS)

• 338.001  Florida Intrastate Highway System
  Plan.--
• (1)  The department shall plan and develop a
  proposed Florida Intrastate Highway System Plan
  which shall delineate a statewide system of
  limited access facilities and controlled access
  facilities. The plan shall provide a statewide
  transportation network that allows for high-speed
  and high-volume traffic movements within the
  state. The primary function of the system is to
  provide such traffic movements. Access to
  abutting land is subordinate to this function,
  and such access must be prohibited or highly
  regulated. The plan shall be consistent with the
  goals of the Florida Transportation Plan
  developed pursuant to s. 339.155.

  the ETDM Purpose and Need definition.
• Identify impacts of access control
• PDE Process
• Include FIHS high speed/high volume criteria in
  project definition.
• Carry FIHS Alternative through the entire
  process
• Identify remedial solutions
• Limited Access By-Pass
• One-way Pairs
