Notice of intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
Summary
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Florida Department of Transportation, and the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (CFRTA), locally known as LYNX intend to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on the proposed light rail transit project in Osceola, Orange, and Seminole Counties, Florida. The EIS will evaluate the following alternatives: a no-build alternative, a Transportation System Management alternative consisting of low to medium cost improvements to the facilities and operations of LYNX in addition to the currently planned transit improvements in the corridor, and the light rail transit alignment (including line, station locations and support facilities). Scoping will be accomplished through correspondence with interested persons, organizations, and Federal, State and local agencies, and through public meetings.
