About Us - International Drive Improvement District
 What
is the International Drive Master Transit and Improvement District?
Created in 1992, it is a special taxing district formed under a
public-private initiative with Orange County, the City of Orlando
and the businesses of the International Drive Resort Area. Recognized
as an outstanding example of cooperation between three distinct
entities, this is the first district of this type established in
Florida and is now used by other regions as a model. The district
is comprised of three separate Municipal Service Taxing Units (MSTU)
that are jointly operated under this unique partnership by a Governing
Board and an Advisory Board.
What does the District do?
We are charged with planning, designing, and operating a transit
service exclusive to the International Drive Resort Area businesses
that are within the boundaries of the District taxing units, as
well as the marketing and promotional efforts of area businesses
as a single, cohesive destination. We make recommendations to local
and state government agencies to reduce traffic congestion, enhance
pedestrian safety and increase overall mobility and security for
the entire District. Finally, we implement marketing and promotion
programs such as:
- InternationalDriveOrlando.com and IRideTrolley.com
- The International Drive Resort Area Official Visitors Guide
- I-RIDE Trolley Map - Your Guide to Dining, Shopping & Playing
on I-Drive!
- The I·Drive Discount Program
