As part of the OIA Connector Scoping 

Meeting, information on the OIA 

Intermodal Center will be presented. 

The FDOT in consultation with the 

FTA, and the Greater Orlando Aviation 

Authority (GOAA) is preparing NEPA 

documentation for a new Intermodal 

Center at OIA in order to accommodate 

high-speed rail, light rail, and other 

private/public modes of transportation. 

The study will comply with FDOT, 

FTA, Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA), Federal Railroad Administration 

(FRA), and the Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA) requirements. 

The OIA Intermodal Center project is 

freestanding and capable of

7. FTA Procedures 

In accordance with FTA policy, all 

Federal laws, regulations, and executive 

orders affecting project development, 

including but not limited to the 

regulations of the Council on 

Environmental Quality and FTA 

implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 

1500–1508, and 23 CFR part 771), the 

1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, 

section 404 of the Clean Water Act, 

Executive Order 12898 regarding 

Environmental Justice, the National 

Historic Preservation Act, the 

Endangered Species Act, and section 

4(f) of the DOT Act, will be addressed 

to the maximum extent practicable 

during the NEPA process. In addition, 

following selection and adoption of the 

LPA, FDOT may seek FTA Section 5309 

New Starts funding for the LPA, and 

therefore, will be subject to the FTA 

New Starts Regulations (49 CFR part 

611). This New Starts regulation 

requires submission of information 

specified by FTA to support FDOT’s 

request to initiate Preliminary 

Engineering. The Alternatives Analysis 

and subsequent Preliminary Engineering 

activities are to be executed in 

conjunction with the NEPA process.
