Sorry for asking what's probably a dumb question, but I can't find info on COJ site and my searches on MetroJax are coming up with older info... What's the current status of the mobility fee? Was the sliding scale waiver extended or is it a full funding level now? Are any developments on the outskirts of Jax (still within Duval) being held accountable to pay for a full mobility fee? How does a community member find out how much mobility fee funds have been collected (and for which developments) within a specific mobility zone and what funds from it have been expended towards zone capital improvements?

The 'sliding scale' is in effect at the moment. The Dept of Planning has this info. You can email mlogan@coj.net for all of the numbers. It's all public records accessible to anyone.

Seems like the contributions are so small that the City should be able to take it or leave it.  <$2M lost in transportation revenue seems like a lot to me or to a single business owner but it would only pay for about a mile of roadway.  Transportation budgets are usually two orders of magnitude larger.

Since it was reduced for years, the contribution should be small. Nevertheless, if it is 2M, you can add and fix a lot of sidewalks with it.
