It was a pleasure connecting with the wonderful community of the City Of Margate at their annual Fall Festival. Our team, including Deputy Executive Director of Intergovernmental & Outreach Carol Henderson and Peter Gies, Planning and Programming Regional Manager, had a fantastic time discussing the Route to 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and its vision for a more sustainable and accessible Broward County. Together, we're shaping the future of transportation! Thank you to everyone who stopped by and shared their valuable insights.

Stay Safe This #Halloween! 🎃🚧 Halloween should be about fun, not tragedy. In 2022, 72 people lost their lives in traffic crashes on Halloween night alone. Alarmingly, 46% of those fatalities were linked to alcohol-related crashes. Let’s make sure we all celebrate safely. Plan to avoid drinking and driving. Between 2018 and 2022, there were 386 fatalities on Halloween night, with over half of the vehicle occupants involved being intoxicated. The 21-34 age group was particularly affected, accounting for 54% of drunk-driving fatalities. This #Halloween let’s prioritize safety and ensure a fun night for everyone. Drive sober, stay alert, and watch out for trick-or-treaters! #Halloween2024 #DriveSober #StayAlert

From 2018 to 2022, left turn crashes made up 20% of crashes involving severe injuries or fatalities in Broward County. 🚦Stay alert, look out for pedestrians, and avoid making risky turns. Let’s work together to reduce crashes and improve road safety! Learn more at SafeStreets4Broward.org

We control the choices we make behind the wheel. When we call traffic crashes "accidents," we suggest they're unpreventable and beyond our control. Let's change that mindset. The Broward Safety Action Plan (BSAP) urges everyone to recognize the responsibility we each have on the road. Remember, roadway incidents are preventable, not inevitable. Use crash, not accident.

This morning, our Executive Director Gregory Stuart, joined his colleagues from the Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization, and the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency (TPA), at the Southeast Florida Transportation Council (SEFTC) meeting. #SEFTC is a formal partnership comprised of representatives from each MPO Board that meets two to four times a year. These meetings play a crucial role in policy coordination, communication, and regional planning for all transportation modes. This includes creating regional transportation plans for the tri-county area, prioritizing regional projects, enhancing transit and freight systems, boosting public involvement, measuring performance, and improving regional transportation programs. We’re looking forward to seeing the positive impacts of this collaboration on our community! #BrowardMPO #MiamiDadeTPO #PalmBeachTPA #Collaboration #Teamwork #RegionalPlanning #PublicInvolvement

Exciting news to share! On October 15, the Broward MPO, along with the Capacity Building Team featuring WSP, Accelerator for America, and MHCP COLAB, held the first in-person Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) workshop. We welcomed 100 guests, including elected officials, city managers, and agency representatives. The event featured a forum on the benefits and misconceptions of TOD, and offered interactive sessions where attendees shared feedback on existing conditions, opportunities, and challenges. Thanks to last year’s U.S. Department of Transportation U.S. Department of Transportation Thriving Communities Program award, the Broward MPO is equipped to provide TOD technical support to local municipalities. In collaboration with community partners, we're developing a toolkit to help Central Broward cities enhance transit-oriented development, boosting economic opportunities and quality of life for residents. A big thank you to USDOT’s Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Mariia Zimmerman, for joining us from Washington DC. We also extend our gratitude to the City of Lauderhill and Vice Mayor Lawrence “Jabbow” Martin for hosting us at the City of Lauderhill Performing Arts Center, and to Circuit for sponsoring the event. This initiative is powered by the collective action and vision of our community leaders. Together, we can drive transformational development and lasting benefits for Central Broward. #TeamWork #USDOT #BrowardMPO #Transportation #GrantFunding
