In October, 1998, the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) commissioned a study to examine the need for inter-county bus transit service linking St. Johns County with the Greater Jacksonville area. The study's purpose was to focus on determining whether a need for inter-county public transportation will exist within the next ten years (to 2010), especially to serve development within thee I-95, U.S. 1 and State Road 13 corridors. The study methodology, supporting data and analysis, and recommendations are included in this document. The study recognized that a large amount of new residential and mixed use development is being proposed for the northeastern and northwestern portions of St. Johns County area. In 1990, it was estimated that about 35% of the workers living in St. Johns County worked out of the county, primarily in the Greater Jacksonville area. Since no traditional public transit existed within St. Johns County nor any inter-county public transit service operated between the two areas, travelers had to rely on private automobiles for their commute trips. Most work trip travel occured in single-occupant vehicles in the 1-95 and U.S. 1 corridors. This purpose of this study was to examine whether inter-county bus transit service between St. Johns County and Duval County wass feasible, and if so, what transit service alternatives were most appropriate to meet the public's needs. The study was divided into three phases. Phase I provideed a description of the study area, the demographic and transportation trends occurring in St. Johns County, a description of existing transportation facilities, and an initial assessment of need for public transit. Phase I, also includeed interviews of 11 community leaders in St. Johns County in order to obtain an initial assessment of the level of public support for such a service.
