I am excited to announce that our exceptional team has been selected to present at the 2024 AMPO Annual Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, in September. This is a prestigious platform where hundreds of our transportation colleagues from around the nation gather to share insights and innovation and foster collaboration. Our MPO has consistently been a leader in the transportation industry, demonstrating forward-thinking initiatives and best practices. Our selection to present is a testament to the agency’s leadership and innovation. Over the years, we have pioneered numerous projects and initiatives aimed at enhancing mobility, sustainability, and safety in our region. From cutting-edge campaigns promoting rail safety to comprehensive community engagement strategies like our Transportation Academy, our work exemplifies best practices in urban planning and transportation management. At the conference, we will share our experiences, challenges, and successes with our peers, contributing to a collective advancement in transportation planning. We are proud to represent the Broward MPO on this national stage and look forward to inspiring and learning from our colleagues.

MPO Hosts Thriving Communities Program

Virtual Kick Off Event  

Recognizing the growing region's housing and transportation challenges, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) awarded our region technical support through the Thriving Communities Program (TCP). The TCP is designed to give cities the information and resources needed to foster Transit Oriented Development in the municipalities that will benefit the most.  The Broward MPO hosted the TCP Virtual Kick-Off Event on Thursday, June 20, with nearly 60 guests in attendance, including representatives from 18 cities, Broward County, FDOT, and Tri-Rail. The event provided an initial overview of the Thriving Communities Program and set the stage for future coordination and opportunities for capacity building with the project team and federal agencies. Thank you to everyone who joined us! 

Through the TCP, Broward MPO, in collaboration with its community partners, will create the Central Broward Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Tool Kit, a policy foundation and design framework to realize equitable benefits of existing and future transportation improvements throughout Central Broward County (between the Turnpike and I-95 from the north to south county boundaries). The TOD Tool Kit will provide the MPO and municipalities with resources and strategies for leveraging investments in transit to support land use and economic opportunity.
