Hear Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Kevin Thibault, P.E. talk about the new proposed multi-use infrastructure corridors on the latest edition of the Florida Chamber’s Bottom Line.
“The corridors initiative was an opportunity to be more proactive,” said Thibault. “We’re trying to take a principled approach to how we set the plan on transportation needs for this state.”
The Florida Department of Transportation is charged with implementing Senate President Bill Galvano’s infrastructure package.
