The meeting is open to the public; no fee is required. To assist with space planning, FDOT requests that you pre-register your intent to attend. (Instructions appear below.)
At the meeting, FDOT will provide a briefing on current Turnpike structure, operations, finance and potential Turnpike projects. Just as importantly, FDOT is seeking input from attendees regarding innovations the Turnpike may make in leveraging the Turnpike system, generating additional revenue, delivering new projects and improving mobility for Florida’s citizens, businesses and visitors. The Informational Meeting/Forum will provide opportunity for an exchange of ideas. Three breakout sessions will be held; Project Delivery, Business Development, and Business Processes and Cost Savings.
Following the breakout sessions, one-on-one meetings will be held between interested parties and Turnpike leaders. Due to a limited number of these meetings, interested parties must request a meeting. (Instructions appear below) Turnpike will screen all requests to determine the best use of the limited time. A special website has been established to disseminate information to prospective Forum attendees. The website includes information related to Turnpike structure, operations, finance and potential Turnpike projects. The internet address for the website is: www.floridasturnpike.com/industryforum.
