MOBILITY MONDAY

Message From Executive Director, Greg Stuart 

Happy Monday! Last week, the Broward MPO and Broward County government joined forces to focus on safety as we announced the award of a $5 million federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant. We could not have done this if we did not work together. Through unity, we can accomplish great things. We stood with our county, our cities, and federal reps; all to make Broward better. This award was made possible by leveraging a local match of $1.25 million from Broward County, a key partner in the successful application. Together with the county we will conduct planning studies that are complementary to the SS4A goals and that will become elements of the overall project approach. The Broward MPO looks forward to working with our partners on various elements of the Action Plan. We anticipate your participation in data gathering, the development of alternatives and recommendations, and the prioritization of strategies to address safety throughout all areas of Broward County. 

BROWARD MPO IN ACTION

Broward MPO Hosts Press Conference to Announce $5 Million Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant

Through our collaborative efforts, the Broward MPO and Broward County government were awarded a generous $5 million Safe Streets and Roads For All (SS4A) grant, making it the highest award in Florida and among the most substantial awards in the nation. We celebrated the grant award on February 16 at a press conference in Coral Springs attended by Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Congressman Jared Moskowitz, Coral Springs Mayor Scott Brook, and Broward MPO Board members Vice Mayor Lamar Fisher and Commissioner Joshua Simmons. This award will enable us to implement a thorough safety plan for the whole county, potentially making us eligible for millions of dollars for development that would address safety concerns. Seeing what we can accomplish when we join forces to benefit communities across Broward is inspiring!
