[SightseerLounge]

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA – July 26, 2016 –"The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has reallocated $7.2 million to the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) as a result of the efficient and effective project management of the First Coast Flyer™ North Corridor Bus Rapid Transit program.

The $7.2 million will be used to improve sidewalks and ADA ramps within a half mile of the First Coast Flyer™ (FCF) North Corridor stations and construct pedestrian access to the Armsdale Park-n-Ride facility. Bus and pedestrian safety will be improved by reconstructing Armsdale Road to include a curb and gutter, providing lane widths with adequate sidewalks to the Park-n-Ride facility opening this October. This location has one of the highest riderships of our FCF North Corridor service, with a high elderly population living in this area."
