The Broward MPO will hold three meetings to give the opportunity for members of the community to provide input on the draft FY 2016-17/2020-21 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is the MPO's 5 year work plan, and serves as a comprehensive list of the transportation projects happening in Broward County. All modes of transportation are included in the TIP, as well as all five phases of project development, from planning to construction.
Public meetings prior to the Broward MPO Board's consideration of the TIP will be held during the following regularly scheduled meetings, providing the public with three opportunities to make verbal comments:
• Technical Advisory Committee on Wednesday, June 22, 2016, at 2:30 p.m.
• Community Involvement Roundtable on Wednesday, June 22, 2016, at 6:00 p.m.
• Broward MPO Board on Thursday, July 14, 2016, at 9:30 a.m. (Final Action Taken)
All meetings will be held in the Broward MPO Board Room, located in the Trade Centre South Building, 100 West Cypress Creek Road, Suite 850, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309.
The Broward MPO, in collaboration with the cities of Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Hallandale Beach, has launched a new rail safety campaign, “Don’t Risk It.” The campaign aims to raise awareness about the dangers of reckless behavior around trains and railroad crossings and reduce the rising accident rates in the region.
On June 8, the Broward MPO was awarded a $15.4 million grant from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). FRA Deputy Administrator Jennifer Mitchell made the announcement at the MPO’s Board of Directors meeting.
Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick joined officials from the City of Pompano Beach and the Broward MPO at the new Pompano Beach Senior Activity Center to celebrate the completion of the $21 million TIGER and announce a series of recently awarded grants that equal $30 million to help create safer roads and better transportation options.
