Orlando airport, now ranked as the 11th busiest in the nation and 21’st globally, is addressing the long security queues which have become all too common.

In the West hall, three security lanes are being added to the fifteen currently in use. In the East hall, there will be between four to nine lanes opened in addition to the fifteen existing lanes.

In February, over three million travelers came through the airport, an 11% increase over 2007. It was the third consecutive month as well as the first time that this airport recorded this level of consistent passenger traffic.

Other security measures include the expansion of the canine unit as well as additional behavior specialists and “bomb appraisal experts” who are able to assess suspicious luggage.

ORLANDO — As lawmakers in Tallahassee continued to debate commuter rail, LYNX and Disney teamed up with another way to get drivers off of Central Florida’s congested roads.

A multi-million dollar agreement between the two companies was signed Thursday.

The Florida Department of Transportation and Walt Disney World are putting up nearly $5 million in grants to the transportation agency, and Disney is adding another $1.25 million on top of that to match a separate grant.

The money will be used to add new routes.

“At Disney, we travel by train, submarine, space ship, teacup and even elephant. And those are just fine when you live in a fantasy land. But when it comes to solving real life transportation issues in an area as large as Central Florida, we’re happy to have such as LYNX and FDOT involved,” said Mark Rucker, a vice president for Walt Disney World.
