The document discusses plans for the South Corridor Rapid Transit Project in Miami-Dade County. It recommends selecting bus rapid transit (BRT) as the locally preferred alternative over heavy rail transit (HRT) due to BRT's lower capital and operating costs, greater flexibility, ability to begin service sooner, and opportunity to pursue federal funding in the next fiscal year. BRT is estimated to cost 20% of the capital costs and 25% less in operating costs than HRT, and could begin service in 3-4 years compared to 8-10 years for HRT. Selecting BRT as the locally preferred alternative would allow the county to apply for federal Small Starts funding.
The Transportation Improvement Program of the Martin Metropolitan Planning Organization for Fiscal Years 2016/17-2020/21 outlines transportation projects that will receive funding. It was developed in accordance with federal and state regulations through cooperation with the Florida Department of Transportation, local agencies, and transit operators in the Martin MPO area. The program's projects are consistent with the region's long range transportation plan and were approved by the Martin MPO Board on June 20, 2016.
The document discusses the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan, which aims to advance six rapid transit corridors in Miami-Dade County. It outlines milestones such as resolutions passed in 2016 to make rapid transit the highest priority and endorse the SMART Plan. The plan would create over 90 miles of express bus network serving over 1.7 million residents. It faces challenges of gaining consensus and funding, but work is underway on projects like the East-West Corridor and expanding existing transit centers. Next steps include developing visions and transit-oriented communities for each corridor.

Miami-Dade TPO's Milestones, Challenges & Next Steps: SMART Plan Update presentation to the Florida International University (FIU) Real Estate Alumni Affinity Council (REAAC) on May 24, 2017.
The document summarizes the activities of the Miami-Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). It discusses the MPO's role in developing long-range and short-range transportation plans, including a 20-year Long Range Transportation Plan and a 5-year Transportation Improvement Program. It also describes a municipal grant program that provides funding to local municipalities for transportation planning. Two MPO resolutions are mentioned - one establishing rapid transit projects as the highest priority, and another endorsing a Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit Plan and directing staff to determine funding options for project development. The presentation concludes by emphasizing the need for a unified regional transportation vision with a focus on expanding transit capacity and connectivity across the region.

The Miami-Dade TPO Urban Mobility Task Force SMART Street Transportation Enhancements Program (STEP) project, located at SE 8th Street & Brickell Avenue, has been implemented. The objective of this SMART STEP project was to enhance and prioritize pedestrian safety and mobility at this high pedestrian demand intersection. Enhancements included the installation of a scramble crosswalk and upgrades to signage at the intersection. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Six led the design and construction of the improvements, while the scramble crosswalk portion involved interagency coordination between FDOT District Six, the Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW), and the Miami-Dade TPO. This project highlights innovation and accelerated project implementation to increase connectivity and enhance safety for pedestrians in Miami-Dade County.
