The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) awarded Broward MPO with technical support through the Thriving Communities Program (TCP). TCP funds organizations (“Capacity Builders”) to provide technical assistance, planning, and capacity building support to communities, enabling them to advance transportation projects that support community-driven economic development, health, environment, mobility, and access goals.
Broward MPO successfully applied to receive technical assistance and capacity building support for the 2023-2025 Grant Period and was matched with the WSP Capacity Building Team as part of the Complete Transit-Oriented Neighborhoods cohort. The TCP Complete Transit-Oriented Neighborhoods cohort is focused on urban and suburban communities located within metropolitan regions working to advance Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) and improve safe, reliable and accessible transit service. Recognizing the housing and transportation challenges the Central Broward region faces, Broward MPO has used the grant to provide municipalities with information and resources to foster Connected Communities and TOD in the form a Connected Communities Vision Kit.
