The SMART Plan proposes a three-tiered funding plan for the Bus Express Rapid Transit (BERT) Network. It includes applying for federal grants to fund capital costs, and requests to state agencies like FDOT and toll authorities to fund annual operations and maintenance. The plan outlines funding sources for six proposed express bus routes, including federal grants, state intermodal funds, toll revenues, and local funds from the City of Miami Beach. It provides funding amounts for each proposed route from 2019 through 2023 or beyond.
