The District 7 Office of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will present the Tentative Five-Year Work Program for FY 2027-FY 2031 (projects programmed July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031). The Tentative Work Program (TWP) includes planning activities, preliminary engineering, design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction for public transportation projects within the Hernando-Citrus MPO planning area.
A website was developed by the FDOT to solicit public comment on the TWP which began October 20, 2025, and ended November 3, 2025. The website link is
www.FDOT.gov/WPPH/District7 <http://www.fdot.gov/WPPH/District7>. The website features various links relating to the TWP including Quick Links (on the right side of the webpage) for a Virtual Public Hearing link and an Interactive GIS Map link containing all the projects within the five-year work program.
A full TWP document can be found under the “District 7 Documents” link. The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) link provides answers to common questions
about the projects and the TWP. An in-person open house was conducted on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Temple Terrace Public Library, 202 Bullard Parkway, Temple Terrace, Florida.
The website also contained a comment form/link for submitting public comments. All public comments received by Monday, November 3, 2025, are a part of the official record. A flyer, provided by FDOT, is included in the agenda packet, and has been distributed to the public information offices of Hernando and Citrus counties, and is available on the Hernando-Citrus MPO website.
