Please be prepared at all rail crossings throughout Indian River and Brevard Counties as Brightline begins service to/from Orlando!!

As GoBrightline prepares for their launch on Friday, Sept. 22, we want to remind our residents and visitors that rail safety is everyone's job.

Reminders for safety around tracks & trains:
✔️ Cross only where there are crossing signs
🚫 Never cross tracks when a train is moving
🚫 Never chase the train
🚫 Never try to outrun a train
🚫 Never trespass on tracks. It’s against the law!
🚫 Never walk or bike along train tracks
🚫 Never wear headphones or earbuds around train tracks
✔️ Stay behind the yellow line on train station platforms
✔️ Always look both ways before crossing the tracks

Did you attend the APA Florida conference in Jacksonville? Share your experience and pictures in the comments

Planning Management Learning Circles A series of networking events to examine the unique challenges, expectations, and situations faced by planners in supervisory roles. Connect with peers in an informal setting to share, listen and collaborate

The Atlantic Coast Section is accepting nominations for all positions!

We are saddened by the events in Jacksonville and hope the families, friends, and community of those senselessly killed can begin to grieve and heal.

APA Florida remains committed to creating safe and inclusive communities that thrive through the diversity of its residents and leaders.

As we head to Jacksonville for the Florida Planning Conference, we encourage attendees to explore the city and soak up its rich history.

We know that genuine dialogue reveals we have more in common and share similar values that shape our communities.

Planning Accessible Communities This PAS Memo explains the importance of planning and designing truly inclusive communities that engage people with disabilities and meet their accessibility and mobility needs.

Read about the FDOT transportation classification system which is consistent with a “vision zero” approach used to plan with a vision of urban growth and keeping safety in mind.

Florida’s success with context-based street classification If context-based street design works in the most automobile-dominated state, it can make a difference anywhere.

Want to say ? Apply now for one of 50 AICP Certification Diversity Scholarships for the fall 2023 AICP certification cycle through August 31. The scholarship can be used for either the exam or the assessment. Learn more and apply now:

Certification Scholarship APA offers Exam Reduced Fee Scholarships to help individuals who have delayed taking the AICP exam due to financial hardship.
