First Coast Commuter Rail Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Frameworks & Examples
First Coast Commuter Rail Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Frameworks & Examples
Overview
This Jacksonville Transit Authority (JTA) First Coast Commuter Rail Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) project is planning for transit-oriented development along the proposed First Coast Rail (FCR) corridor, which is the 38.4-mile commuter rail corridor of the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway extending from downtown Jacksonville to south of St. Augustine.
The survey is closed. Please see jtafcrtod.com for more information.
JACKSONVILLE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION CENTER (JRTC)
The JRTC Station Area is the northern terminus of the First Coast Rail Line between Jacksonville and St. Augustine, and is located in the southern portion of the LaVilla area in Jacksonville. JTA’s opening of the JRTC, and with it JTA’s new headquarters, places LaVilla in the center of Jacksonville’s vision for a regional transportation network.

What is TOD?
Transit-oriented development (TOD) clusters mixed-use development - multi-family housing, shopping, recreation and businesses - around a transit station, creating a more walkable, bikeable, convenient and sustainable place to live, work and shop.
