About SWFTI

The Southwest Florida Transportation Initiative (SWFTI) is a privately funded regional coalition established to ensure that the region receives additional transportation revenues in order to maintain a strong economy and exceptional quality of life. The organization has researched the efforts of similar private sector initiatives in high growth areas statewide, enlisted the support of a team of transportation experts and initiated a comprehensive, long-term effort to ensure that the region has a strong and unified voice on transportation issues at the local, state, and federal level.

SWFTI membership includes a broad base of business and community leaders working together for a common goal. In addition to the support of the region's leading companies, the initiative is endorsed by the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council, area chambers of commerce, economic development councils and industry associations.
