First Coast Commuter Rail
Transforming Northeast Florida
The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) proposed First Coast Commuter Rail (FCCR) project is the first of its kind in Northeast Florida. The 38.4-mile corridor would connect downtown Jacksonville to St. Augustine, providing enhanced rail transit service for the employment, education, and healthcare needs of the community. FCCR is one of many major proposed projects to mitigate traffic congestion in the region.
About the Transit-Oriented Development Plan
Transit-oriented development (TOD) creates walkable, mixed-use communities around premium transit stations that promote mobility, economic growth, and support investments in transit. The pedestrian-oriented, transit-friendly development combines residential, commercial, and recreational facilities that are walking distance from accessible transit.

The FCCR TOD plan will include station area plans, recommendations for implementation, short term and long term infrastructure needs, and next steps to promote economic investment and opportunity around station areas. A key objective of the plan is to provide the steps needed to create a more sustainable and resilient multimodal transportation network for Northeast Florida.
Station Evaluation
The study area includes fifteen potential station areas. Each station area will be evaluated on natural and built environment, land use, zoning and ownership, and transit and multimodal connectivity to determine TOD opportunities and barriers. TOD station area plans will be developed for seven station areas that have the characteristics needed for successful transit-oriented development.
Video Learn about transit-oriented development
The Jacksonville Transportation Authority is pursuing transit-oriented development opportunities for JTA-owned properties. This video talks about transit-oriented development (TOD) - a compact, high density, multimodal, mixed-use form of development within one-half mile of a transit station that maximizes existing infrastructure.
Schedule
This plan consists of three key phases: Existing Conditions to identify Transit-oriented development (TOD) issues and opportunities; TOD Visioning to determine goals and objectives for each station area, establish station area TOD framework and create a corresponding station area plan; and TOD Implementation Plan to establish strategic action items for TOD implementation. Three public engagement events are planned throughout this project: Corridor Workshop 1 in February, Corridor Workshop 2 in June, and an Open House event in October. Please refer to the image below to see the duration and timing of each phase.
