Audit Verdict · External Coordination

Trade delegations and workforce partnerships are feasible, but airport expansion and route decisions require GOAA action.

Delivery depends on another board, county agency, state office, or public authority.

The Promise

Grow international partnerships, support trade delegations, improve airport connectivity, modernize travel infrastructure, and align workforce pipelines with trade-driven jobs.

Authority Scope

Convening, advocacy, sister-city programs, GOAA board representation

Orlando International Airport is run by GOAA, an independent authority the mayor does not control unilaterally.

Analysis

The mayor can help convene trade and business strategy. Airport capital planning, airline-route decisions, and major mobility choices still require another governing body.

Legislative Record

No distinct airport-governance delivery record is identified beyond the platform itself.

Implementation Barriers

§3Jurisdictional Limits

A portion of the inventory depends on agencies where the mayor has limited board representation, informal influence, or no direct management authority.

SunRail is owned and operated by FDOT; weekend service requires state funding
LYNX is a regional board where the mayor holds one of five seats
Orange County Public Schools and UCF are independent entities outside mayoral control

Within-Authority Path · What Orlando could actually deliver

Use the mayoral and GOAA seats for coalition building, but keep the city promise focused on trade promotion, delegations, and workforce alignment that City Hall can actually organize.
