Developing a roadmap for Florida’s transportation needs during the next 50 years is the challenge that Port Canaveral CEO J. Stanley ‘Stan’ Payne has accepted as a member of the 2060 Florida Transportation Plan (FTP) Steering Committee. The plan, adopted five years ago, provides the policy framework for allocating the department’s transportation funds.
“This is an opportunity for us to ‘think big’ about the future of Florida,’ says Florida Transportation Secretary Stephanie C. Kopelousos, who invited Payne to serve on the panel. “Stan’s leadership and maritime experience will be vital for making sure seaports are well represented on the steering committee.”
Payne is the current chairman of the Florida Ports Council. He also serves on the 2009-10 Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA), an alliance of leading ports in the Western Hemisphere.
“Transportation links, whether waterways or highways, are critical for the flow of passenger and commercial cargo,” says Payne, who heads the world’s second busiest cruise port and central Florida’s outlet to the sea for cargo. “It is important to make good decisions today to ensure Florida’s future transportation needs are met.”
