PARTICIPATE IN THE FUTURE OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY'S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM …by attending a Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Public Meeting.

Miami-Dade County is updating its Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and is looking for your suggestions, ideas, and comments. The LRTP is being developed to guide federal, state, and local transportation expenditures between now and 2035. This comprehensive plan will consist of highway, transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and other type of improvements for alleviating traffic congestion. The Plan identifies the transportation system needs and how to get there safely and efficiently. The needs of existing and future businesses and citizens are considered and a list of projects is created. Solutions will include new, creative, and innovative approaches to current transportation challenges.
