• The document provided profiles for selected areas of the United States that are either comparable to Broward (pre-sales tax) or potential ideals for Broward’s overall system. This information indicates that there is room for improvement in both transit services, supporting land use and urban design. Compared to its peers, Broward does not rank well in the following areas: • Commuters using transit • Percentage of income spent on transportation costs • Spending on public transportation per capita, and • Compact design and walkability.

The foundation of a Broward’s system can be built upon, given the public support for transit, as shown by the approval of the Penny for Transportation sales tax. Measures such spending on public transportation per capita can be improved through the sales tax measure. However, others such as the Compact Neighborhood and Walk scores and the Housing + Transportation Index require longer-term strategies and policies and should not be expected to show significant improvement as a result of the Penny for Transportation sales tax.

The review of governance in other areas highlights the need for regional collaboration. Each of the areas profiled in this section offers a regional fare card that simplifies in their areas. Currently only Miami-Dade and SFRTA have interoperable fare cards that allow riders to use a single payment method for both systems. Broward County Transit has led a regional fare interoperability study for the past few years, seeking to implement a similar solution using mobile ticketing. This program proposes to expand the regional fare card/mobile ticketing into Broward so that riders on any of the tri-county public transportation services can use a single fare card or mobile ticket in Broward and Miami-Dade.

With the recent passage of the Penny for Transportation sales tax, Broward is now well-situated among its peers for a dedicated local funding source. As this document is updated, it may be interesting to include updates on the allocation of the sales tax funds by project type, such as transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian. The ability to leverage local funds to obtain additional state and federal funds may also be of interest for future updates to this report.

As previously stated, the primary purpose of this document is to establish a baseline for Broward prior to system expansion that is planned under the Penny for Transportation legislation. The indicators identified in the Area Profiles section are intended to be revisited on a regular basis (each MTP update, for example) to monitor how the changes in Broward’s transportation system influence its rankings relative to the peers identified. Future versions of this document will serve to track Broward’s progress in improving its transit system.
