FLORIDA STATE LINE TRUCK TRAFFIC COUNTS

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

50m of the 105m visitors drive to Florida – along Interstates!

Baby Boomers and Millennials

both want to live here, and actually want similar life styles (urban & no cars)

Are we ready to handle the

transportation needs of those with money, and those who will make it by 2030?

20+ Million
