Multi-Use Corridors of Regional Economic Significance (M-CORES)

FACILITATING A PUBLIC CONVERSATION ABOUT FLORIDA’S FUTURE

The Multi-Use Corridors of Economic Significance (M-CORES) program, signed into law in May 2019, required the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to execute a statewide communications and public involvement effort on an aggressive timeline. Global-5 provided essential support to FDOT in the early stages of the program, from developing the M-CORES brand and website to live streaming a high-profile kickoff event.

Challenge

The M-CORES program, signed into law in May 2019, required FDOT to execute a statewide communications and public involvement effort on an aggressive timeline.

Solutions

ELEGANTLY SIMPLE BRANDING

To communicate concern for the environment, Global-5 developed a leaf-shaped logo, then used color to give each M-CORES corridor its own identity. An additional series of icons summed up the goals of the program in six words that correspond to the M-CORES acronym: Mobility, Connectivity, Opportunity, Resiliency, Environment and Safety.

LISTENING TO THE PUBLIC

Understanding and responding to public input was a high priority for the client. Global-5 compiled and analyzed hundreds of public comments submitted by email, in person and via the program website, drawing out the predominant themes and providing M-CORES task force members with valuable insight.

3–2–1 LAUNCH!

FDOT launched the M-CORES study process at a kickoff event featuring presentations by high-level government officials. Global-5 supported the event—and a series of follow-up public meetings—with print materials, photography, social media strategy and media relations. We made meeting materials available on the M-CORES website in real time and provided a live video stream of the event.
