Florida Scenic Highway Program
Program Review
What is the Florida Scenic Highways Program?
It's a grass-roots effort to heighten awareness of our State's historical and intrinsic
resources - cultural, historical, archeological, recreational, natural and scenic -
which collectively, enhance the overall traveling experience. Program participation
provides subsequent benefits to the community as well, such as resource
preservation, enhancement and protection.
Who can participate?
Anyone with an interest in their community can participate in this voluntary
program, including citizens, civic groups, businesses and governments. As with
any grass-roots effort though, organization is key. Therefore, interested parties
must form a Corridor Advocacy Group to help foster community support, form
strong partnerships and develop the necessary documentation.
What are the benefits?
There are numerous benefits to program participation:
* Showcases and protects natural resources
* Helps establish community vision
* Enhances the travel experience (for tourists as well as residents)
* Improves quality of life
* Increases community pride and recognition
* Promotes tourism and economic development
* Encourages community partnering
* Tells Florida's story, providing education and history appreciation
How does the program work?
The program consists of a step-by-step process divided into three phases:
I. Eligibility - During this first phase, a Corridor Advocacy Group gathers and
prepares documentation to show that the Corridor meets program criteria, outlining
the Corridor's intrinsic resources, and demonstrating community support.
II. Designation - Once eligibility is determined, the Corridor Advocacy Group
prepares a Corridor Management Plan, which represents a comprehensive
collection of support data, protection techniques and management strategies for
the Corridor.
III. Implementation - During the final phase, the points outlined in the Corridor
Management Plan are put into action.
In summary, the Florida Scenic Highways Program offers a unique blend of
resource protection and partnering while promoting community pride and
recognition of our State's outstanding resources.

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes. The Florida Scenic Highways Program will preserve, enhance and maintain the intrinsic resources of scenic corridors through a sustainable balance of conservation and land use. Through community-based consensus and partnerships, the program will promote economic prosperity and broaden the traveler's overall recreational and educational experience. |

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials. A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.
