Broward's Population has tripled in the last 50 years.
Population in 1970: 620,000
Population in 2020: 1.9+ Million
How do we plan for Broward's population & employment growth?
Let's peel back the layers.
As a community, we must do a better job of coordinating transportation and land use throughout the Broward region.
All future decisions should include:
- Community Land Use and Growth Objectives
- Corridor and Activity Center Investments
- Multimodal Transportation Investment
- Community Land Use and Growth Objectives
Future Land Use
Community Land Use and Growth Objectives: Support land use, growth, and multimodal transportation investment objectives of our communities.
Higher-Density Land Uses
Corridor and Activity Center Investments: Reinforce multimodal transportation and corresponding infrastructure investments along corridors and within activity centers targeted for dense population and employment growth.
Targeted Growth & Development
Collaboration with Partners: Work collaboratively with FDOT, Broward County, the 31 municipalities, and other MPO agency partners to target multimodal transportation investments consistent with the above.
Vision 2100 Transit Plan
Multimodal Transportation Investment: Leverage and support multimodal transportation investments in communities that plan and prepare for growth and high-density development.
There is a solution, but it isn’t wider roads —it’s a different system.
To advance our transportation investment and policy priorities, the MPO adopted a Call to Action as part of Broward Vision: The Path to 2100.
The Call to Action is organized into three key areas— Policy, Funding, and Commitment.
