Many rural communities in the FDOT District Three area need transportation investment to handle growing population and economic activities. Others need assistance to maintain their existing transportation network to properly serve a spread-out community and ensure connectivity.
​
To address these needs, the Regional Rural Transportation Plan (RRTP) will consider safety, systems connectivity, resilience, and ACES (automated, connected, electric, and shared-use) vehicles to provide a cost-effective transportation system able to address natural and manmade disasters.
This map includes current rural transportation system data including
freight movements (Truck Volume), non-motorized trails (Existing Florida Greenways and Trails), recreation (Parks and Recreation), and traffic patterns directly impacting the RRTP.

The purpose of the Plan is to collect information on the five-county area’s greatest transportation needs.
Once finalized, the Regional Rural Transportation Plan will outline short- and long-term transportation projects for the next 20 years.

Calhoun County Comprehensive Plan
Comprehensive Plans are the backbone of any community planning effort. They outline challenges facing the community, identify solutions, and provide guidance to appointed and elected officials on planning-related decisions. The best Comprehensive Plans are those that have the support of the broader community. They are a living document that grows and changes with the community.
