Paving the way: Osceola County’s Transportation Summit in Kissimmee sets the stage for future road projects

Osceola County, in collaboration with the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX), the Florida Department of Transportation District 5, Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, and MetroPlan Orlando, hosted a highly anticipated Transportation Summit on Tuesday morning, May 9, at the Kissimmee Civic Center.

The event served as a platform for key government officials, transportation experts, and stakeholders to share insights about ongoing road projects, future plans, and the positive impact these initiatives will have on residents and visitors in and around Osceola County.

The County’s strong partnerships with CFX, FDOT, Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, and MetroPlan have paved the way for significant improvements to its transportation infrastructure. These collaborations have enabled billions of dollars in planned road improvements, with some projects set to commence this year.

Governor’s “Moving Florida Forward” initiative, unveiled in January, allocated funding for 20 transportation projects, several of which are earmarked for Osceola County. These initiatives further solidify the County’s commitment to enhancing its transportation network and improving the overall quality of life for its residents.
