Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At present there is a fixed route transit system from South Florida to Key Largo.  The county has been successful in obtaining funding from the South Florida Employment and Training Council to extend the system to Marathon ($250,000 per year).  It is proposed to provide an extension from Marathon to Key West to determine the long-term viability of such a transit system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Sufficient ridership to identify clearly the match-up between the distant location of jobs and residences and the ability of people to move from area to area in the County to seek employment and reduce the welfare roles.
