Ridership is monitored on a weekly basis by TMA and City Staff as the economy reopens. The organization has received verbal confirmation that the required ridership threshold has been suspended due to extenuating circumstances. In addition to regular sanitization, drivers clean their vehicles during service stops. • FDOT Funding Agreements Approved o Downtown Link $182,680 o NW Community and Neighborhood Links $200,000 The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has come through with a funding commitment for the Downtown, Northwest Community, and Neighborhood Links. These are agreements between the City of Fort Lauderdale and the state, for which the Fort Lauderdale City Commission has approved funding. The TMA is awaiting execution of the agreements so they may invoice for these funds against services. • Grant Pursuit Task Force 2 Pg. 4 of 126 DFLTMA Executive Board of Directors May 27, 2020 Ms. Chiarelli continued that she has reviewed funding opportunities with Darci Mayer of the Broward MPO and Nina Verzosa of Fort Lauderdale City Staff. They meet on a monthly basis to discuss and prioritize potential grants to be pursued. She requested that any members with knowledge of additional grant opportunities make this task force aware of them. • Driver of the Quarter – Craig Garcia and Entire Driver Team Ms. Chiarelli recognized the First Transit team’s continuing role as essential workers. The TMA has applied for recognition programs through the Convention and Visitors’ Bureau and the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce, and there may be an opportunity for them to be recognized in the future by the Fort Lauderdale City Commission.

Ms. Chiarelli explained that the organization is eligible for between $5,000 and $20,000, with the funds to be used to pay an artist’s stipend and material costs for decorating the barriers on vehicles between drivers and passengers. These funds are contingent upon the receipt of funding for permanent Plexiglas barriers, which will exceed $20,000. Motion passed unanimously. A-3 MOTION TO APPROVE Executive Director Evaluation Recommendations and Modification to Employment Mr. Walters made a motion, seconded by Mr. Epstein, to approve. Chair Stuart noted that the Executive Director has done a good job in keeping the organization afloat in the midst of difficulties, including the ongoing pandemic. Ms. Milroy noted that Ms. Chiarelli received 100% on every item in the evaluation, and the evaluation team felt that a contribution to be used towards the retirement plan of the Executive Director’s choice was in order. 3 Pg. 5 of 126 DFLTMA Executive Board of Directors May 27, 2020 Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Fisher requested additional information regarding farebox collections and vehicle sponsorships. Barney McCoy of Broward County Transit (BCT) advised that he has met with Fort Lauderdale City Manager Rob Hernandez to discuss a number of items regarding the community shuttle program. Ms. Chiarelli explained that the TMA has been operating with farebox revenue and sponsorships as two of their funding sources, which have provided approximately $200,000 for community shuttle service over the last 15 years. She was recently advised that a public hearing was scheduled to discuss this funding, and noted that the TMA would like the opportunity to discuss the cost benefit of removing these two revenue sources. Angela Wallace, representing the Broward County Attorney’s Office, stated that the community shuttle program is funded by Broward County, which has inter-local agreements (ILAs) with Broward municipalities. The agreement in question is between Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale, and is consistent with agreements with other municipalities. The County now funds 100% of municipal community shuttle programs using transportation surtax revenue. Ms. Wallace continued that advertising was never authorized by the County as part of the ILA with Fort Lauderdale. In addition, Broward County has had a policy, adopted in 2009, that prohibits the advertising of tobacco and alcohol products on County vehicles, facilities, or properties. She characterized the issue as bringing Fort Lauderdale’s ILA into line with other community shuttle agreements throughout Broward County. Ms. Wallace noted that the County has communicated directly with Fort Lauderdale due to the nature of their contract, with the City expected to have shared information with the TMA. She pointed out that the TMA does not provide actual service: this is done by First Transit, its contractor. Another issue was the TMA’s “wave-and-ride” policy, which was considered to be a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Other issues include a requirement of the federal government that the City follow a competitive procurement process for services that use federal assets. In order to come into compliance, Fort Lauderdale would need to issue a competitive procurement agreement for a community shuttle service provider. Mr. McCoy advised that these issues were communicated to Fort Lauderdale’s City Attorneys in March 2020. Fort Lauderdale Director of Transportation and Mobility Ben Rogers stated that several items with which the City had not been in compliance were addressed under the ILA in recent months. The City is working to develop a plan to bring the the program into full compliance with the ILA so surtax funds can be used toward the community bus program.

  • South Florida Transit Resource Guide
    SECOND EDITION Improving the Connection between Transit and Land Use SOUTH FLORIDA TRANSIT RESOURCE GUIDE June 2015 June 15, 2015 Dear Colleague: The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) is pleased to introduce the second edition of the South Florida Transit Resource Guide, which demonstrates the vital connection between transportation and land use throughout Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties. The first edition was well received and was awarded an honorable mention in the 2010 Transportation Planning Excellence Awards sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Decisions involving transportation and land use directly affect our quality of life and the economic vitality of the region. The choices we make influence how much free time we have, where we live and work, our recreational activities, how we travel, the state of our environment, and so much more. The SFRTA seeks to coordinate, develop and implement, in cooperation with all appropriate levels of government, private enterprise and citizens a regional transportation system in South Florida that ensures mobility, the advancement of sustainable growth and improvement in the quality of life for future generations. Increased development around Tri-Rail stations not only positively impacts Tri-Rail ridership, but can also influence regional growth as it pertains to transportation and land use. Station area- development decisions are governed by the city or county in which each station is located. This publication profiles the many factors which affect how the cities and counties promote station- area development. In summary, we hope this document provides the information needed to help communities and organizations make decisions which can improve the connection between land use and transportation.

  • 2017 Annual Report FINAL.Pdf
    As Chair of the Broward MPO Board, it is my honor to showcase the work of the Organization in this year’s Annual Report. Through the Strategic Business Plan, the Board has set a directional course for the MPO, and the recent revision of the Plan will further position us to be a leading MPO, not just in Florida but across the nation. This past year, the Board has taken several decisions that will improve our transportation system and strengthen the region for years to come. Board Members voted to move forward with the SW 10th Street Connector Project, which will provide a crucial link between I-95 and the Sawgrass Expressway, improving the movement of people and freight. We continue to fund Complete Streets projects with this year’s adopted Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) having over 140 miles of programmed Complete Streets projects. That TIP contains a total of $5.2 billion dollars in projects to be funded over the next five years. We also funded 10 projects through a new and innovative program known as the Complete Streets and Localized Initiatives Program (CSLIP). The first of these projects will be built as early as 2020. We recognize the increased traffic in our region, and are working to address the problem. Due to limitations on available land to widen roads, our focus has been on improving traffic light signalization, enhancing public transportation, and focusing on hot spots where traffic backs up and never seems to clear. With the participation of our 31 member cities, we are starting to identify those hot spots, and are looking at context sensitive solutions to get traffic moving.

  • Executive Summary Introduction
    Executive Summary Introduction Fort Lauderdale is the cultural and economic center of Broward County and the third largest city in South Florida. It is a nationally and internationally popular tourist destination and home to a major airport as well as a seaport that ranks among the top three cruise ports in the world. The city continues to grow, particularly in terms of residential opportunities and economic expansion. In 2013, the City Commission adopted Fort Lauderdale’s citywide vision plan, Fast Forward Fort Lauderdale 2035. This plan lays out the needs and desired improvements for the city over the next 20 years, including necessary transportation service and infrastructure enhancements. Figure ES-1 shows the three key pillars of this plan and clearly reflects the strong desire among the city’s residents, visitors, and leaders for a more connected and walkable Downtown that is both pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly and uses convenient and easily-accessible public transit services. Figure ES-1: 2035 Vision: Fast Forward Fort Lauderdale ES‐1 To help support these walkability and accessibility goals, Fort Lauderdale currently is served by three types of transit services. The City, in partnership with key organizations such as the Downtown Fort Lauderdale Transportation Management Association (DFLTMA), Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA), and the Town of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, provides Sun Trolley service to enable access to, from, and within Downtown and the surrounding areas. Since its beginning in 1992, the yellow and red heritage trolley buses used by Sun Trolley have served primarily the Downtown core and the beaches while also connecting to the surrounding areas of the city.

  • Broward County Transit
    Commission Memo 20-053 Page 1 of 64 Attachment June 05, 2020 Mr. Chris Walton Director, Broward County Transportation Department 1 North University Drive Suite 3100 Plantation, Florida 33324 Dear Mr. Walton: The Community Shuttle Bus Program partnership between Broward County Transit (County) and The City of Fort Lauderdale (City) is bound by an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) which was renewed on August 20, 2019, through a formal approval process by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners. Since October 1, 2019, the Community Shuttle Bus Program has been funded through the 30-year Penny for Transportation Surtax. The new funding scheme requires the City’s, more than ever before, careful adherence to the implementation of transit service as outlined in the ILA. On March 2, 2020, in a meeting with City and County staff, the County identified “non-compliance” concerns of the contractual terms of the ILA including: • Inconsistency with Florida law Title XXVI Public Transportation, Chapter 341, Section 9: Downtown Fort Lauderdale Transportation Management Association (TMA) is not responsible in overseeing provision of transportation services • Selection of transit service vendor, First Transit, is inconsistent with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 4220.1F for Third Party Contracting • FTA’s Title VI program prescribes compliance with a standard complaint system • The TMA engages in revenue generating activities including advertising, sponsorship, and fare collection • “Wave and Ride” service is in violation of the City – County ILA as all Community Shuttle Bus service is to be Fixed Route and presents liability and risk to Broward County Transit’s compliance with the Federal Transit Administration’s Americans with Disabilities Act As a response, the City prepared a document that summarizes our ongoing efforts in addressing these concerns (please see enclosure).
