Message From Our Executive Director, Greg Stuart | |
|
This new year brings new opportunities for the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and all of our residents. We are in the third year of a historic transportation funding package from the federal government. If successful, the $30 million in grants the Broward MPO and our partners applied for will significantly increase our investments in safety and technology throughout Broward. This year, the Broward MPO will kickoff our “Route to 2050,” an update to our transportation plan that sets the course of transportation improvements for the next 25 years. We look forward to working with the community to shape the transportation landscape for the future!
