GENERAL SUPPLY CHAIN FINDINGS

Trucks are dominant mode serving Lee County

Businesses use variety of other modes as gateways to the region
Port Miami, Port Everglades, Port Tampa Bay
 CSX
 Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale International
Airport


Roadway system has congestion bottlenecks
Largely in older urban areas related to loading/unloading
 Seasonal peaking worsens conditions
 Additional capacity needed in key corridors (e.g., widen SR 82)


Truck services are limited

Need for additional truck parking and fueling stations
17
FREIGHT RAIL SYSTEM
OVERVIEW



Rail network consists of a single 37 mile corridor in Lee County which
ends in northern Collier County
Currently operated by Seminole Gulf
Railway (SGLR) on a long term lease
from CSX
Existing passenger and freight
service


About 7,000 carloads per year primarily
consisting of frozen and refrigerated
goods, scrap metal, and lumber and
building materials
Source: FDOT Rail System Plan, 2010.
Majority of track is maintained to Class I standards (maximum speed of
10 miles per hour) with some segments maintained to Class II
12
standards (25 miles per hour)
2040 Freight Mobility Element
FREIGHT RAIL SYSTEM
RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendations from the
Lee County Rail Feasibility
Study include the
following:

Corridor should be preserved
for continued and expanded
transportation use

Freight service should be
maintained and improved

Other options of passenger
service/public transit should
be integrated with existing
and planned freight rail
operations

AIR CARGO SYSTEM
CARGO VOLUMES TRENDING DOWN

Air cargo volumes have declined over the past few years primarily
due to:

Lufthansa discontinued its wide-body passenger route to Dusseldorf
and Munich, which contributed 44,000 pounds of capacity daily;

DHL discontinued its route to its former hub in Wilmington, Ohio,
contributing 20,000 pounds capacity; and

Cape Air discontinued its feeder route to Tampa, contributing 2,240
pounds capacity


Structurally Deficient bridges are those which have one or more structural
defects requiring attention
No bridges in Lee County are Structurally Deficient but about 21%
