The plan must include both long 352 range and short-range strategies and must comply with all other 353 state and federal requirements. The prevailing principles to be 354 considered in the long-range transportation plan are: preserving 355 the existing transportation infrastructure; enhancing Floridas 356 economic competitiveness; and improving travel choices to ensure 357 mobility. The long-range transportation plan must be consistent, 358 to the maximum extent feasible, with future land use elements 359 and the goals, objectives, and policies of the approved local 360 government comprehensive plans of the units of local government 361 located within the jurisdiction of the M.P.O.

The Legislature finds 401 that the investment of the state in the Florida wildlife 402 corridor as defined in s. 259.1055 is of significant interest to 403 the public and that the provision of paved multiuse trails 404 within or between areas of the Florida wildlife corridor would 405 provide the public the ability to enjoy Floridas natural 406 resources and bring ecotourism and economic opportunities to 407 local trail town communities. The Legislature further finds that 408 improving bicyclist and pedestrian safety for both residents and 409 visitors is remains a high priority. Therefore, the Legislature 410 declares that the development of a nonmotorized trail network 411 will increase mobility and recreational alternatives for 412 Floridas residents and visitors;, enhance economic prosperity;, 413 enrich quality of life;, enhance safety;, and reflect 414 responsible environmental stewardship; and facilitate support 415 for the protection, preservation, and enhancement of the natural 416 and recreational value of the Florida wildlife corridor by 417 providing minimally invasive public access to it when feasible 418 and compatible with the lands. To that end, it is the intent of 419 the Legislature that the department make use of its expertise in 420 efficiently providing transportation projects to develop and 421 construct the Florida Shared-Use Nonmotorized Trail Network, 422 consisting of a statewide network of nonmotorized trails which 423 allows nonmotorized vehicles and pedestrians to access a variety 424 of origins and destinations with limited exposure to motorized 425 vehicles. 426 (2)(a)The Florida Shared-Use Nonmotorized Trail Network is 427 created as a component of the Florida Greenways and Trails 428 System established in chapter 260.
