Road Jurisdiction Transfers

About

FDOT’s primary statutory responsibility is to coordinate the planning and development of a safe, viable, and balanced state transportation system serving all regions of the state and to assure the compatibility of all components, including multimodal facilities.

In recognition of that goal, the Florida Legislature mandated Title XXVI, Public Transportation, Chapter 335, State Highway System (SHS) with the Road Jurisdiction guidance that states:

335.0415(5) – Public road jurisdiction and transfer process. In order to take effect, all transfers of public roads to or from the State Highway System must be by mutual agreement of the affected governmental entities and approved by the Secretary of the Department of Transportation. Source: Florida Legislature

Road Jurisdiction Transfers (RJT) that impact the SHS must be mutually agreed upon by the affected governmental entities and approved by the FDOT Secretary. The Transfer Agreement must describe in detail the road to be transferred, including:

Road Name
Route Numbers
Beginning/Ending Mile Points
Location Map
Easements
Crossings
FDOT Non-Motorized/Portable/Telemetered Traffic Monitoring Sites
Detailed Description of Right-of-Way Responsibilities
Any Other Items/Agreements Related to the Roadway

The Transfer Agreement must be signed by the District Secretary, FDOT General Counsel, and the local agency authority. A local agency official, such as the County or City Clerk, will attest that the Transfer Agreement was executed by the official authorized to do so, according to the local Resolution. For additional RJT guidance, please see the handbook and procedure linked below.
