Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization

Hi All,

The Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is updating its Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). To ensure that the new plan serves the needs of its residents, visitors and employers, the MPO is hosting a series of Public Workshops for the public to identify current transportation deficiencies and recommend the best transportation improvement strategies to correct these deficiencies at present and in the future.

The LRTP includes proposed financially feasible transportation improvement projects needed to meet the future travel demand of people and goods in the Broward County urban area. These projects include roadway, transit, pedestrian, bicycle, waterborne, and greenway facilities. The LRTP covers a 20-year period and is used by transportation officials and decision makers to guide the expenditure of transportation dollars.

The MPO has developed a Public Involvement Plan (PIP) for the 2035 Long-Range Transportation Plan Update to ensure maximum public participation and to build consensus for the LRTP. As part of the public outreach program, local communities are invited to attend the following Public Workshops designed to provide an opportunity to learn about the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) process and decisions.
