Highlands Transit Plan Public Workshop

The Highlands Transit Plan, led by the Heartland Regional Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO), is a Transit Development Plan (TDP) for Highlands County. The plan will help establish a strategic vision to guide planning, development, and implementation of public transportation service over the next 10 years. The plan is required by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to be eligible to receive state funding for public transportation.

The study area will be focused on Highlands County, which includes the Sebring-Avon Park Urbanized Area as designated by the US Census in 2010. Highlands County also includes the Town of Lake Placid and a number of other population/activity centers that should be considered as potential connections for any proposed system for public transportation.
