Intermodal Passenger Rail Station Feasibility Study

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze intermodal connections to major regional destinations along with the potential travel demand to the station, conceptual design for the station, potential infrastructure improvements to support the station and an implementation plan. Kicked off in June 2023 and scheduled to be completed by early 2025, the station location being studied is within the City of Cocoa near SR 501 (Clearlake Road), SR 528 and US 1, as identified as the locally preferred location in the 2016 SCTPO Passenger Rail Station Location Study.

Mobility on Demand Study

Project Status:  Ongoing, anticipated completion March 31, 2025

Project Purpose:  The study, in collaboration with Space Coast Area Transit, will identify and assess Mobility on Demand options, recommend one (or more) locations where MOD could be implemented, and establish an implementation framework that would make the recommended alternative competitive for future grant funding opportunities.

Study Limits:  Brevard County

What is Mobility on Demand?  Mobility on Demand combines traditional public transportation with private enterprise options into a single mobility service. MOD is traveler-focused, putting more weight on personal choice, trip satisfaction and the efficient delivery of services. Combining all these mobility services fills gaps in the current transportation offerings to allow true, complete point-to-point trips for everyone.

Project Status:  Ongoing, anticipated completion June 30, 2025

Project Purpose:  The purpose of this study is to review potential trail alignments on North Merritt Island and define a feasible route for the North Merritt Island Pioneer Trail. The North Merritt Island Pioneer Trail is identified on the Space Coast TPO Showcase Trail Network and is considered an essential spur for the East Coast Greenway.

Study Limits:  The study area spans North Merritt Island from SR 528 in the south to Pine Island Conservation Area in the north, and the Indian River in the west to the Banana River in the east.

Southern Brevard Trails Master Plan

Project Status:  Ongoing, anticipated completion February 28, 2025

Project Purpose: The Master Plan will develop a network of well-connected trails building on the Showcase Trails Network through data analysis, stakeholder engagement, and public input. The project is proposed in two phases: (1) Develop the Southern Brevard Trails Master Plan; and (2) Perform trail feasibility studies on selected trail alignments from the Master Plan.

Project Limits:  Bordered by Palm Bay Road to the north, the Brevard County-Indian River County line to the south, the St. Johns River to the west, and the Indian River to the east.
