Miami-Dade Transit Introductory Statement
Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) is pleased to provide you with this overview as a brief introduction to Miami-Dade County's public transit services. South Florida's substantial population growth has significantly affected our streets, roads, and highways with heavy traffic, which burdens residents, businesses, and visitors to our community. We struggle with gridlock, even during non-peak traffic hours, because the County is among the four most congested areas in the nation. Expanding our transit system and promoting its increased utilization are the major challenges that define the future of public transportation in the County and South Florida region.
Department Overview
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2001, MDT's average weekday ridership increased to 274,400, which includes 46,300 Metrorail Boardings, 211,900 Metrobus Boardings, and 16,200 Metromover Boardings. Special Transportation Services (STS) trips and trips provided for Florida's Agency for Healthcare Administration were not included in the average weekday Boardings; these two services, combined, averaged 3,768 per weekday.
With more than 2,850 employees, MDT is the second largest department in Miami-Dade County government, the 16th largest public transit system in the nation, and provides nearly 50 percent of all the transit trips in Florida. MDT operates a fleet of 694 buses on 82 routes. Metrorail operates 136 heavy rail vehicles along 21 miles of track, from Dadeland to Hialeah. Our newest Metrorail station, the Palmetto Station, located west of the Palmetto Expressway near NW 74th Street, is scheduled to open for revenue service in spring 2003. Twenty- nine Metromover (peoplemover) vehicles provide service along three loops within Miami's Central Business District from Brickell to the Omni area. STS offers multi-loaded door-to-door service to anyone who qualifies under the paratransit guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Private providers, under contract with the County, provide this service.
Capital and operating financial support are required "To meet the needs of the public for the highest quality transit service: safe, reliable, efficient and courteous"(MDT's mission statement). Since the federal government discontinued operating subsidies several years ago all public transit providers in the United States depend on operating subsidies from state and local sources to meet their financial needs. FY 2002 direct operating revenues (fares, passes, etc.) are estimated at $66.9 million. Non-operating revenue, which includes advertising, joint development leases, etc., is estimated at $6.1 million. MDT expects to receive $15.56 million from the State for operations and $6.6 million from the Medicaid Trust Fund. Local government will contribute $116.9 million (including the Capital Improvement Local Option Gas Tax) and budgeted one-time leverage lease revenues of $15 million. The total annual operating budget is $227 million. Capital funds fall into two general categories: funds spent for rehabilitation or replacement of existing capital assets and funds spent for acquisition of new capital assets or expansion. A combination of Federal, State, and local sources provide funding for these categories; the Federal government provides the largest share. The capital budget for FY 2002 is $104.3 million and includes funds for the purchase of replacement buses, facility improvements and rehabilitation, information technology, and the purchase of tools and equipment. MDT provides approximately 84 million trips per year, which is almost half of all trips in the state of Florida, whereas the other 23 transit properties in the state provide approximately 100 million trips. During the last decade, the County's population rose 16 percent to 2.3 million. By 2025, the population is expected to increase to almost three million residents and employment is expected to rise 30 percent to over 1.5 million workers. Therefore, committed support from local government is needed to ensure MDT has the ability, resources, and infrastructure to meet the demands of our diverse and growing community. This type of support will aid the County in relieving congestion, creating jobs, and generating additional County revenue, today and in the future.
Metrobus Metrobus operates countywide service 365 days per year, provides limited 24 hour service, and park and ride shuttles to special events. Eighty-five Metrobus routes, 62 using full-size buses and 23 using minibuses, provide service from Miami Beach to west Miami-Dade, from Marathon in the Florida Keys to the southern portion of Broward County, and travel over 26 million miles per year. Metrobus has 1,001 full-time and 160 part-time bus operators, 90 full-time and 139 part-time paratransit driver attendants, and over 232 bus mechanics/technicians.
Metrorail Metrorail is a 21-station, elevated, double track, single-line, electrically powered, rapid transit line that serves the County. Via a direct connection to Tri-Rail, a regional commuter rail line, Metrorail also serves Broward and Palm Beach counties. Passengers using Metrorail can travel the 21-mile line from Dadeland to Hialeah in 42 minutes. A 22"d station, the new Palmetto Station, which is part of the Palmetto Extension project, is projected to open for revenue service in spring 2003. Metrorail operates daily between 5 a.m. and midnight. Fifty-one train operators (50 full-time and one part-time) and 67 rail vehicle mechanics/technicians operate and maintain the Metrorail vehicles. The control and power systems are maintained by 25 train control and 24 traction power technicians. In addition, 87 MDT employees ensure the track, structure, and required heavy equipment are in compliance with Federal Railroad Standards and the State of Florida Bridge Inspection requirements.
Metromover Metromover is a three-loop, 4.4-mile elevated, fully automated, 21-station, peoplemover system, which connects the Downtown Miami Central Business District with the Brickell and Omni areas. Passengers can transfer to Metrorail at Government Center and Brickell Metrorail stations. Metromover operates every few minutes from 5:30 a.m. to midnight. Fifty Metromover technicians maintain the vehicle fleet.
Special Transportation Services STS, ademand-response service that complements Metrobus routes, provides 2,458 trips per day. This service is available to anyone who qualifies under the paratransit guidelines of the ADA. Service providers, contracting with the County, offer multi-loaded door-to-door service utilizing passenger vans, wheelchair lift equipped vans, and sedans. Although providing this service costs 6~/IDT approximately $18 per trip, the passenger is only charged $2.50. The County subsidizes the additional $15.54, which totals approximately $13.9 million annually. The County provides an additional 1,310 trips per day for Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). Under this program, paratransit eligible patrons, according to Medicaid guidelines, are provided medical transportation services to and from medical appointments. The cost of this service, plus an administrative fee, is reimbursed to the County.
Funding Concern MDT must secure a stable, continuous, and dedicated source of local funding large enough to provide the County with sufficient revenues to meet the required local match to receive much-needed State and Federal funding. Sources of funding most affected are Federal grants where amulti-year local match is required and funding that requires the financial ability to operate and maintain completed projects. The lack of a dedicated source of funding greatly hinders the County's ability to improve public transit services and meet future expansion needs.
3 HISTORY OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY'S TRANSIT SYSTEM
In 1 e then-Dade County Commission passed an ordinance to create the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA). Over the years and under various administrations, MTA evolved into the Metro-Dade Transportation Administration, the Metro-Dade Transit Agency, the Miami-Dade* Transit Agency, and is now known simply as Miami-Dade Transit (MDT). Today's MDT has a viable four-mode system—Metrobus, Metrorail, Metromover, and Paratransit—used by nearly 300,000 passengers daily.
*A 1997 election changed the name of the county from Dade to Miami-Dade.
187 is B. Tuttle purchased 40 acres of land north of the river to stimulate the growth of Miami. 1891 Julia B. Tuttle offered land for a town site to James E. Ingraham, president of the Florida Railroad, if he'd extend his railroad to Miami. Ingraham refused. 1895 After the big freeze in north Florida, Henry Flagler visited Miami to study the possibility of growing oranges here. Julia Tuttle offered Flagler land if he'd agree to extend his railroad to Miami. He accepted and a contract was signed. 1896 April 15: Flagler's Florida East Coast Railroad (FEC) passenger service was joyously welcomed to Miami.
1900 The first wagon road was pushed in the area now known as Coconut Grove. 1905 May: Three members of the Tatum family secured a street railway franchise. 1906 July 4: The Tatum brothers purchased the Miami Electric Railway Company. July 25: A single car began running from the old FEC depot near Avenue B (now NE 2 Avenue) and 6th Street (now Flagler Street), down to Avenue B and 12th Street, then along 12th Street to the FEC crossing at the courthouse. 1907 September 3: Miami Electric Railway Co. closed for overhaul, never to reopen. X914 The Miami Traction Company began laying new track. 1915 December 4: The Miami Traction Co. began service with "battery cars." Other bus service operators were spread around the county: Hialeah and northwest Miami were served by Winslow Bus Lines; Miami north and east of Flagler Street was served by Miami Transit Co., run by Freeman &Sons; south of Flagler Street into Coconut Grove was served by Dunn Bus Company. 1919 Carl Fisher and other investors formed the Miami Beach Electric Company and the Miami Beach Railway Co.
1920 Miami Beach Railway Co. began operating a single line linking downtown Miami and south Miami Beach via the County Causeway. 1921 Miami Traction Co. closed down after fire wiped out its fleet. The city of Miami agreed to buy the franchise of the defunct Miami Traction Co., ordering eight single-truck Birney streetcars. The city leased the operation to the Miami Beach Railway Co. 1925 Most of the jitneymen operating within Miami sold out to George B. Dunn who organized two companies: Dunn Bus Service Inc. (in the southern part of town) and Miami Transit Co.(on the northern side), with streetcars still serving the central area. 1926 The first solid-tire buses saw service on both sides of Biscayne Bay after Florida Power and Light acquired Carl Fisher's causeway trolley line and contracted with Miami for trolley and bus service on the mainland. May: The first Coral Gables rapid transit cars operated from downtown Miami to Ponce de Leon Boulevard in Coral Gables via Coral Way. 1933 George B. Dunn made a proposal to the city of Miami Beach to operate the local streetcar lines. 1935 The Coral Gables high-speed service had lasted nine years. Damage to electric overhead power lines during the storm of 1935 was so extensive that the line was permanently shut down and the city of Coral Gables went to an all-bus system. 1937 Voters rejected a ballot that attempted to unify all transit services in Miami except the jitneys. 1939 A second attempt to have the public approve a new unified transit franchise was successful. October 17: Miami Beach Railway abandoned its three streetcars in favor of 15 new "twins." This company continued as a subsidiary of Florida Power and Light until it was sold to William D. Pawley in 1941. Miami Beach became a military training base during World War II. 1939- Miami discontinued using its streetcars. The city granted an exclusive franchise to 1940 Miami Transit Company.
194 vember 14: George B. Dunn, using the name Miami Transit Co., took over the city- owned lines and merged Dunn Bus Service into the combined operation, resulting in a fleet of 208 buses (half of them new Macks) covering 193 route miles. November 16: Miami's trolley cars rolled for the last time. X941 Miami Beach Railway was purchased by William D. Pawley, thus increasing the local bus fleet from 18 to 43 buses. 1948 Pawley bought Miami Transit Company upon the death of George Dunn, taking the significant step toward solving some of Greater Miami's transportation problems.
195 ley bought South Miami Coach Line and the Keys Transit Company. 1957 July 21: The Metropolitan Dade County government was officially established. 1959 The County Commission tried to purchase the bus system for the first time. The plan was dropped because of the high cost.
196 County Commission passed an ordinance creating the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) to unify the different transit operations into one countywide service. This ordinance provided for the purchase, development, and operation of an adequate mass transit system by the County. These companies included the Miami Transit Company, Miami Beach Railway Company, South Miami Coach Lines, and Keys Transit Company on Key Biscayne and would be managed by National City Management Co. 1962 January 28: Bus operators opposed to a Dade County takeover of bus operations began a work stoppage protest. February 9: Bus operators began returning to work. Dade County purchased Pawley properties. Buses began operating under Metro Transit Authority. May: citizens of Dade County approved, by more than a two to one margin, the validity of the $9 million Revenue Bond Issue to finance a unified County transit system. 1964 The Miami Urban Area Transportation Study (MOATS) began with a feasibility study on transit for Dade County. 1969 Construction of the Central Division complex was completed at 3300 NW 32 Avenue, consolidating four separate garage facilities and the administrative offices of the Metro Transit Authority into one unit. As population reached 800,000, the first stage of MOATS concluded that rapid transit would indeed be feasible and desirable for Dade County.
197 y: MTA removed all fare boxes from bus vehicles and instituted an "exact change" policy. 1971 The completed MOATS studies recommended an $800 million rapid transit system, and public hearings on the entire transportation plan began. 1972 For the first time in its history, MTA received a subsidy derived from the seven-cent gas
5 tax revenues as a result of action by the state legislature during the previous year. Prior to this, MTA operated solely on fare-box revenues. The voters of Dade County approved, by a two to one margin, a $132.5 million "Decade of Progress" bond issue to provide the local share for rapid transit construction plus expanded bus service to support the system. 1973 Seventy-four Flexible buses were purchased. John A. Dyer was appointed Transportation Coordinator for Metropolitan Dade County's Office of Transportation Administration (OTA). 1974 October 1: The Metro Transit Authority was dissolved and National City Management Co. was dismissed, resulting in Dade County taking control of the bus system. The new county department was to be known as the Metro Transit Agency. Residents of Dade County strongly opposed the planned study for construction of six new expressways. These plans were later dropped from the transportation plan. 1975 August 31: The Coral Gables Transit System merged with Dade County as part of the Metro Transit Agency. 1976 MTA purchased 140 AM General buses. Preliminary engineering of a rapid transit system was completed. The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) made a commitment in principle to pay 80% of the costs for construction of the Stage I Rapid Transit System. April: The Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) announced a nationwide competition for funding downtown people movers(DPM) in urban areas. More than 65 cities expressed interest; eleven, including Miami-Dade County, were selected as finalists. December: Miami-Dade County received conditional approval to pursue its DPM plan based on reprogramming $24 million from approved Metrorail funds to the people mover project. 1977 Dade County's population reached over 1.4 million. The Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) of USDOT officially committed $575 million to cover its 80% share of construction costs for Stage I, 16.5 miles of track running from Dadeland to NW 67 Street. The state of Florida and Dade County agree to split the remaining 20% of construction costs. The Florida legislature appropriated $2.1 million as part of a total state commitment of $72 million. UMTA authorized the final engineering for an additional 4-mile segment to Hialeah. Dade County officials requested an additional $57 million from UMTA for the four-mile extension to Hialeah, which agreed to add a $2 million contribution from the city. Late in the year, a group of citizens petitioned the County Commission for a referendum to stop all further spending on the rapid transit system. The issue was put on the ballot for March 1978. December: UMTA administrator, Richard S. Page, reaffirmed UMTA's commitment to the Miami-Dade County DPM project. 1978 January: MTA's North Division, 5901 NW 27 Avenue, opened with service capability for 100 buses. MTA initiated two-way radio communications aboard all buses. Thirty Flxible buses were purchased. The first of 30 RICO 20-seat minibuses were purchased. March: After ahard-fought campaign, the citizens of Dade County reaffirmed their desire for a balanced transportation system by voting down an attempt to repeal the bonds approved in 1972. May: UMTA approved funds for preliminary engineering, and a request for proposals was distributed. July: County commissioners approved a Transportation Master Plan for the year 2000, which included eventual extensions of the rapid transit lines northeast to 193rd Street near the Broward County line, south to Cutler Ridge, and west to the Midway Mall area with a link to Miami International Airport.
D October: The Board of County Commissioners approved the award of contracts for preliminary engineering to Gannet Fleming/SKBB, a joint venture of Gannet Fleming Corddry &Carpenter Inc. of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and SKBB of Coral Gables. October: MTA's South Division, 10830 SW 211 Street, began operation with service capability for 100 buses. 1979 January: The Board of County Commissioners created the Downtown People Mover Policy Committee (DPMPC) to aid in the decision-making necessary during preliminary engineering. Included were representatives of interested public bodies (Dade County, the city of Miami, Downtown Development Authority), private organizations (Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Merchants Association), civic organizations, and the general public. March: The full system DPM alignment was adopted after a public hearing held jointly by the Metro-Dade Board of County Commissioners and the city of Miami Commission. April: An agreement between Dade County and the Florida East Coast Railroad for transference of 9.5 miles of the right-of-way for Metrorail's south line was ratified by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and FEC began removal of the tracks. May: UMTA committed $19.2 million in federal funds to the DPM project. June: Stage I of the DPM system, with an estimated cost of $76 million, and a change in the Miami River crossing were approved at another joint public hearing. June: Groundbreaking for the Stage I system was held at the site of the University Station. The system would be known as Metrorail, and would feature 17 stations initially, with two more to be added with the extension to Hialeah.
198 e first of 260 General Motors RTS II buses began operating on the streets of Dade County. In January, work on the University Station substructure was completed, making way for work to begin on the station itself. January: Construction began on the Northwest 27th Avenue Modification Project, which was aimed at removing the underground storm sewer system to accommodate Metrorail support footings. April: In a letter to Metro-Dade County, UMTA advised that it would commit $50 million to the DPM project subject to future congressional authorizations. May: Metro-Dade County received a written Full Funding Agreement from UMTA to provide 80°/a of the remaining construction cost for Metrorail, a first for a rapid rail project. August: Preliminary engineering of the Stage I downtown loop was completed. August: The first Metrorail girder was poured at the R.T. Joint Venture site in northwest Dade County. September: Requests for proposals to complete the final design and construct the Stage I DPM system were distributed. Funds were received to proceed with preliminary engineering on Stage II of the system. October: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) presented a letter of approval to use $32.9 million in federal interstate funds for the extension of the existing HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) or carpool lanes from I-95 to State Road 112, tying into the Allapattah and Earlington Heights Metrorail stations. The project also covered costs for additional parking at the two stations and street modifications to handle increased traffic. November: Proposals were received from DPM system suppliers, including Westinghouse, UTDC, Matra-Otis, and Titan PRT Systems Inc. November: The final Environmental Impact Statement was approved by UMTA. December: The first double-tee girder is placed atop two piers at University Station. The $55,887,830 contract for girder construction and installation was awarded to R.T. Joint Venture. 1983 February: The first Metrorail vehicle arrived at the Palmetto Yard and Shops from Pueblo, Colorado.
7 May 2: South Miami Station was dedicated, and the general public is given its first opportunity to ride Metrorail. June: The Metrorail bridge over the Miami River was completed. The rapid transit guideway was now a continuous ribbon of concrete from the Dadeland South Station to just north of the Overtown Station. June: The Metro-Dade Transportation Administration (MDTA,formerly DCTA) approved the award of a $23,747,000 contract to Perini Construction Inc. of Framingham, Massachusetts to build the guideway for the 1.9 miles of elevated double-guideway for Metromover. July 15: Douglas Road Metrorail station was dedicated. August 26: Dadeland North Metrorail station was dedicated. September 16: University and Dadeland South Metrorail stations were dedicated.

May 19: Service is extended to the final five Metrorail stations, thus completing service between Dadeland South and Okeechobee. June: The consulting firm of Schimpler-Corradino and Associates was retained by MDTA to propose recommendations and to coordinate the planning and research for Network 86, a comprehensive public transportation improvement program. Network 86 would integrate, simplify, and consolidate local transit service to make it more cost effective for all Dade County citizens. June: MDTA began leasing bicycle lockers for the convenience of commuters. July 1: MDTA created the Metropass Corporate Group Discount Program. Corporations and organizations were given the opportunity to purchase quantities of the All-Transit Metropass in advance at discount prices. August: Joseph M. Fletcher was named MDTA executive director. August: Public meetings were held in all areas of Dade to determine the impact that changes recommended for Network '86 would have on the community. A formal public hearing was held Tuesday, November 19, at the new Metro-Dade Commission Chambers. September 5: Groundbreaking~for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. $6.8 million, 1,000- space parking garage took place. Construction was awarded to 3W Corporation. September 15: A special ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to inaugurate the opening of the Vizcaya Metrorail station pedestrian overpass. Ebsary Foundation Inc. built the overpass, an $859,000 structure.

November: MDTA began to electrify the north line in preparation for pre-revenue testing. December: Twenty-five National minibuses were delivered. Fifteen of the $42,000, 19- seat passenger buses were used to replace the RICO buses, providing service on the Venetian Causeway. Ten $47,000 buses equipped with wheelchair lifts were assigned to the Special Transportation Services office to transport riders with disabilities. December 1: The first phase of Network'86 was implemented. December 9: Metrorail started Automatic Train Operations (ATO). In this mode, computers run train operation. The operator's function includes monitoring the train control board, starting train movement, and assisting riders. December 18: The Northeast Division, 360 NE 185 Street, was dedicated, marking the start of operations from this facility with capacity for 159 buses that serve the north, east, and west parts of Dade. Additionally, the Northeast Division is equipped to handle articulated buses scheduled for purchase in the future. December 29: MDTA activates Central Control, located on the fifth floor of the new Metro-Dade Government Center. From Central Control, rail traffic attendants can command train movement, rail electrification, communications (two-way radios, telephone, and emergency lines with police and fire departments), track switching, and monitor security at stations using a sophisticated television system. 1986 January: The Board of County Commissioners approved creation of a "Blue Ribbon Transportation Task Force" to study the existing transit system in depth and develop recommendations for improvements in administrative procedures and operations. March 18: MDTA received shipment of Metrorail vehicles 235 and 236, the last two to arrive at the William Lehman Maintenance Facility.

June 15: The second phase of Network'86 was implemented with the new fare policy. October 28: The Metro-Dade Transportation Administration is renamed the Metro-Dade Transit Agency. 1988 MDTA implements a $1 parking fee at all Metrorail stations, and increased the cost of a monthly pass to $50. This results in increased MDTA revenues by $5 million. November: Newly-elected County Commissioner Charles Dusseau proposes that Metrorail extend its service hours until midnight, seven days a week, to take effect November 27. The Board of County Commissioners approves the recommendation. (Previously, Metrorail operated from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekends and holidays.)
'1989 February: Metrorail ridership reaches 40,000 per day for the first time. March: Metrorail unofficially adds its 21st station to the system when the Tri-Rail Station opens for passenger service. The official opening of this station, which connects Metrorail with the Tri-County Commuter Rail service, is set for June. May: Metrorail celebrated its 40 millionth rider. Also, MDTA opened its first Transit Service Center at Government Center Station on May 17. Mayor Stephen P. Clark cut the ribbon to open the Center, and Commissioner Charles Dusseau joined Mayor Clark in the ceremony. June 5: Dade County officially dedicated the Tri-Rail Metrorail station. Dade County Mayor Stephen P. Clark, joined by Congressman William Lehman and Dade County Commissioner Charles Dusseau, unveiled the plaque marking the station's official opening. July: County Manager Joaquin Avino appointed Chester "Ed" Colby director of Metro- Dade Transit. He joined MDTA after serving in a similar capacity in Denver, Colorado. December: Wackenhut Security Corporation replaces North Dade Security as the agency providing security services for Metrorail and Metromover. All of the Wackenhut officers are police/military trained and are armed. They are positioned at all Metrorail stations and patrol the Metromover stations.
199 TA creates a 30-year plan to expand transit service in Dade County. Highlights of the plan include: adding 20% more bus service; upgrading the fleet and improving access for the disabled with wheelchair accessible buses; and expanding Metrorail service an additional 39 miles. Implementation of the plan depended on securing a dedicated source of funding for transit. March: MDTA began operating its first Anti-Truancy Unit in conjunction with Metro- Dade Police. The unit was created to reduce the number of school kids who were skipping school and roaming the Metrorail/Metromover system. May: Metrobus on-time performance improved by 10% in late bus departures, from 49% to 59%. May: The last of 73 new buses were delivered; training on wheelchair lifts begins for mechanics and operators. May: The consultant for the design of the Brickell extension of Metromover was directed to proceed with a final design which includes Riverwalk Station and placement of two piers in the river outside the navigable channel. The Coast Guard permitting process continues. June: Due to increased passenger use of the Tri-Rail Metrorail station, three additional fare gates were installed at the station. From July 1989 to June 1990, boarding at the station have increased by 5% per month. June: A significant, comprehensive transportation funding package, including specific funding earmarked for public transit operations and transportation disadvantaged programs, was approved during the legislative session; Dade County was scheduled to receive additional funding from this package. July 4: Metrorail ridership was 36,200, up 62%from the previous year. Service ran on a regular Sunday schedule. July: County losses to privately owned minibuses exceeded $100,000 per month. New state legislation and a County ordinance enabled the County to regulate these services. July: The privately owned Mayflower Contract Services successfully initiated bus service on several routes under a new County contract. The services included Kendall Area Transit (KAT), route 6 weekdays, and routes 71, E, and the weekend Zoobus.
10 August: MDTA officially broke ground for construction of the new $17 million Dadeland North Metrorail parking garage. This facility would be built where the former bus bays were located, would stand 10 stories high, and would provide approximately 2,000 new spaces. The project was expected to open in August 1992. November 6: By a margin of 4%, citizens of Dade County vote "No" to a penny sales tax to fund transit, police, courts, jails, and public works. November: Weekday Metrorail hoardings averaged 50,300, up from 48,400 in October. This represented a new high in ridership. November: KAT ridership approached 2000 rides per day, up from a peak of 1700. This was attributed to Mayflower's new minibus fleet and greater service reliability. December: Metrorail carried over 101,000 passengers for the annual King Orange Jamboree Parade in downtown Miami. This marked the highest single-day total in the system's history. 1991 January 1: There were 101,000 Metrorail hoardings and 43,600 Metromover hoardings on New Year's Eve, the largest number of riders ever for a single event during revenue service. All bids were rejected for construction of the Metromover Brickell extension stations and guideway. New bids were submitted. The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and Dade County began the effort for successful reauthorization of the federal Surface Transportation Act. January 6: Budgetary constraints and failure of the penny sales tax referendum result in cuts of 500,000 annual bus miles; a staff reduction from 30 to 9 officers in the Transit Police section; a decrease in Metrorail landscape maintenance; and an increase of the base fare from $1 to $1.25. January: The apparent low bidder for the Metromover Brickell extension guideway construction contract was O.C.T. with a bid of $24,496,165; the engineer's estimate was $28,340,000. The apparent low bidder for the Metromover Brickell extension stations construction contract was Codina Cogefarimpresit USA Ltd. with a bid of $12, 796,331; the engineer's estimate was $16,200,000. January: For FY 91, Dade County was awarded $14,832,737 in Section 9 federal funds for operating assistance, design of a rail storage facility, a new bus radio system, and associated capital maintenance items.

March 10: Metrobus transported 26,214 passengers to and from the annual Calle Ocho festival from three Park &Ride lots, up from the 15,482 transported the previous year. April: The Adopt-A-Station program is launched to encourage established groups to spruce up Metrorail stations by removing litter and beautifying landscaped areas. May: Metrobus route 77 was repackaged as Super 77 to challenge the jitneys operating illegally along the route 77 alignment. The fare was lowered to $.75, and buses arrived every 10 minutes. As a result, jitney business dropped 30%, and route 77 ridership increased by 2000. November: Special Transportation Services ridership averaged 1,700, increasing by
11 6.25% from the previous month and by 30.77% from the previous year. 1992 Amini-library and a Metropass sales outlet open at Civic Center Metrorail station. Dade County is in line to receive $24.6 million in federal funds for transit projects. State Representative John Cosgrove proposed a South Dade busway. The busway, exclusive lanes for buses, would connect riders from as far south as Florida City with Metrorail at Dadeland South Station. County Commissioner Charles Dusseau proposed using airport landing fees as local matching funds for an east/west corridor project to provide a transit connection between Miami International Airport (MIA) and the Port of Miami (seaport). The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) released a report proposing an Airport Multimodal Facility combining bus, Metrorail, Tri-Rail (a tri-county commuter service), Amtrak, high-speed rail, car rental services, auto pick-up/drop-off areas, and parking. Token/change dispensers were installed at all rail stations. Limited-stop MAX (Metro Area Express) bus service began on NW 27 Avenue, Flagler Street, and Biscayne Boulevard.

FEDERAL ROLE IN TRANSPORTATION
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is the primary source of Federal financial assistance for public transportation systems in the United States. It is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, headquartered in Washington, D.C. There are ten regional offices throughout the country, including Atlanta, Georgia, which serves Florida and seven other southeastern states, as well as Puerto Rico. Through FTA, the Federal government provides funding for all forms of public transportation projects for systems including buses, subways, light rail, commuter rail, heavy rail (rapid transit), and people movers. Planning and project development for new programs as well as improvement, maintenance, and operation of existing systems are the major areas that benefit from the Federal participation.
Because fare box revenues traditionally provide an average of less than half of the operating costs, transit systems must rely on support from Federal, State, and local sources, and even the private sector. The Federal government, through FTA ,has played a major role in the development of public transportation in Miami-Dade County. Nearly 70% of financial support for key projects, including Metrorail and Metromover, has been provided by FTA, totaling over one billion dollars. FTA also annually funds continuing programs such as the Urbanized Area Formula, Fixed Guideway Modernization and Bus and Bus-Related Facilities. These programs support capital investments in bus and bus- related activities and new and existing fixed guideway systems. Projects financed under these programs include replacement and maintenance of buses and rail vehicles, construction of maintenance and passenger facilities, purchase of communications equipment, computer hardware and software, signage, and passenger amenities.
Federal funding support for major projects like planning, design and construction of the Metrorail and Metromover systems and the South Miami-Dade Busway is provided through what FTA refers to as "New Starts". In general it means a project involving the building of a new fixed guideway system or extending an existing fixed guideway system. This can be a light rail line, heavy rail (rapid), commuter rail, a "people mover", or a busway/high occupancy vehicle(HOV) facility. New start projects can also involve the development of transit corridors and markets to support the eventual construction of fixed guideway systems, accomplished through projects that include construction of park and ride lots and acquisition of land to protect rights-of-way. Prior to construction, these major projects must follow alocally-driven, multimodal planning process through steps that include alternatives analysis, preliminary engineering, and final design. Competing new start projects throughout the country are evaluated on how well they meet project justification and financial criteria (including local funding commitment), factors that ultimately determine whether or not a project will be awarded Federal money.
15 In contrast to the discretionary nature of the New Starts program where funding is allocated through a competitive screening process, funds for the previously mentioned capital programs (Urbanized Area Formula Program, Fixed Guideway Modernization, Bus and Bus-Related Facilities) are apportioned annually to grantees by FTA, following Congressional appropriation. MDT uses both the formula and the bus purchase program to finance its acquisition of buses. Construction and rehabilitation of maintenance facilities and the construction of other bus-related facilities such as intermodal ternunals and bus shelters are primarily financed through the formula program. Although these are the primary areas for ongoing capital funding, FTA also provides assistance in numerous specialized programs, where funding is awarded on a discretionary basis as available. One of these is the Job Access and Reverse Commute Program, created to assist the Federal Welfare to Work program. MDT received $l.1 million for operation of up to nine routes to provide service to people coming off of welfare and joining the job ranks.
In addition to providing financial support for public transit operations, FTA also exercises a major oversight responsibility. It monitors every grantee to assess their financial, legal, and technical ability to operate. FTA also reviews the grantee's compliance with Federal guidelines in areas like drug and alcohol testing, civil rights, safety and security practices, and proper procurement and contracting procedures. Where necessary, corrective actions may be recommended to resolve possible deficiencies. This type of oversight, conducted through annual and triennial reviews, helps assure grantees carry out their obligations in a responsible manner that benefits all users of the system.

Authorization: Authorization: .. STATE ROLE IN TRANSPORTATION
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is a decentralized agency with its main office in Tallahassee, Florida, part of the executive branch of government in the state. The Central Office is responsible for policy, procedure and quality assurance. FDOT has eight district offices that coordinate with local governments and planning organizations throughout the state. It is a trust funded state agency, which means its operations are provided primarily from user fees such as highway fuel faxes, motor vehicle license fees, and aviation fuel taxes. While the major portion of funds goes towards construction of roads and bridges, another slice of the budget is devoted to public transportation.
The FDOT Public Transit Office within each district administers Federal and State transit grants, monitors compliance with transit regulations, and provides planning and technical assistance. This district office in Miami coordinates with Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) and other properties within Dade and Monroe County that provide public transportation. The office administers and manages innovative finance grants from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and monitors and ensures compliance with established state and federal policies, procedures and guidelines.
Major programs funded by FDOT include Service Development, Public Transit Block Grant, Urban Corridor, and Park and Ride. In Miami-Dade County, the Urban Corridor program funds a route along the East-West Corridor (Flagler MAX) and several routes along the South Miami-Dade Busway. Service Development funds for new and innovative techniques or measures to expand or improve public transit have supported bus circulator routes for the elderly, transit service to suburban employment centers, and the Welfare to Work Program. MDT has benefited greatly from FDOT's Park and Ride program. Property acquisition and construction of park and ride facilities at numerous locations along both the existing busway corridor and the future extension have been funded through this program, as well as major sites at the Dolphin Mall, on Bird Road, and S.W. 8th Street. The annual Public Transit Block Grant Program provides funds to help offset operating costs for MDT.
One other major contribution from FDOT is the provision of Toll Revenue Credits (TRCs) accrued to the State that can be used to leverage Federal funds. This "soft match" enables MDT to apply for the Federal appropriation from Congress without committing additional local cash. MPO ROLE IN TRANSPORTATION
One of the major roles of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO} is to insure conformance with federal and state laws and regulations. Federal rules require that highways, mass transit and other transportation facilities and services be properly deployed and developed in relation to the overall plan of urban development. Furthermore, they must comply with approved plans for regional and state transportation network accessibility.
Key functions of an MPO include developing the Long Range Transportation Plan for the urban area that specifies needed transportation projects for the next twenty years, compiling an annually updated Transportation Improvement Program (TIP}, coordinating the activities of the Transportation Planning Council (TPC) which advises the MPO Board on technical matters, assessing visual impacts and aesthetic quality of transportation projects, facilitating public involvement through a Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC), maintaining abicycle/pedestrian program, ensuring that access to transportation is provided to disadvantaged persons, and preparing technical and policy studies.
In Miami-Dade County, the transportation planning process is guided by the MPO for the Miami Urbanized Area, established by Interlocal Agreement between the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) of Miami-Dade County and the Florida Department of Transportation. Although the membership of the MPO Governing Board is largely composed of individuals who serve on the BCC,the two boards are separate and distinct. The BCC is responsible primarily to the electorate of Miami-Dade County; the MPO Board is primarily responsible to the Governor and to federal agencies that provide funding for transportation projects and mandate planning requirements as a precondition for funding. This structure, however, serves to enhance coordination between the two boards, and tends to facilitate the process of advancing from plans to implementation of transportation projects.
The local MPO region includes the incorporated and unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County, an area of 2,400 square miles and over 2.2 million residents. The incorporated area is composed of 31 municipalities with their own government. The Miami-Dade MPO is assisted by professional staff from local and state transportation agencies. Other entities, including the South Florida Regional Planning Council(SFRPC), the Tri-County Commuter Rail Authority (Tri-Rai1), the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority(MDX), and Broward MPO and Palm Beach MPO, work closely with the Miami Urbanized Area MPO to facilitate regional transportation planning.

26 27 People's Transportation Plan COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORTS
"One Hundred Opportunities to be Heard" campaign announced in March.
To date, 80 public meetings have been conducted, including a televised townhall session, numerous radio call-in shows, and a series of civic and business presentations throughout the County to solicit input from the community on transportation issues.
Twenty-two municipalities provided input on how to address the transportation problems at a Municipal Mayors' Transportation Roundtable.
An overwhelming majority of Community Council representatives attended another Transportation Roundtable and provided their input on the transportation issues. An estimated 2000 people attended the two Transportation Summits. Participants provided input on what the County's Transportation Plan should entail as well as its oversight and funding solutions.
To date, nearly 100,000 people have logged on to www.trafficrelief.com to present their comments and/or seek information on the results of the various public meetings and proposed transportation projects.
To date, thousands of meaningful suggestions —ranging from infrastructure improvements and funding options -- have been recorded to provide input regarding the County's transportation plan. People's TransportationPlan ASSUMPTIONS
Creation of a Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust. The Trust will be a carefully selected group of citizens who will function as a truly independent decision making body, separate from the government, with significant powers over the use and expenditure of the surtax proceeds. The plan will include the following components:
— Maintenance of effort on current general fund subsidy to Miami-Dade Transit.
— No more than 5% of surtax proceeds to be expended on administrative costs.
— Expenditure of surtax proceeds limited to the transportation and transit purposes specified.
Peoples Transportation Plan to be funded by one half percent sales tax increase.

31 People's Transportation Plan RAPID TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS 2003-2025
Construction of up to 88.9-miles of Countywide Rapid Transit Lines.
Technology and Corridor Improvements: Two corridors totaling 26.7 miles of rapid transit have completed the planning phase and are ready to enter into final design and construction -- the North Corridor and East- West Corridor.
— The North Corridor is a 9.5-mile heavy rail alternative running from the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Metrorail Station along NW 27tH Avenue to NW 215t" Street (Miami-Dade/Broward County line); with proposed stations at Northside Shopping Center, MDCC-North Campus, City of Opa-locka, Palmetto Expressway, Carol City Shopping Center, Pro-Player Stadium, and the Florida Turnpike.
— The East-West Corridor consists of two segments, one from the Florida Turnpike east to the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) and from the Palmetto, through Miami International Airport, downtown Miami, and to the Port of Miami, 6-miles and 11.2-miles respectively. These sites have been identified as potential station locations: Florida Turnpike, NW 107th Avenue, NW 97th Avenue, NW 87t" Avenue, Milam Dairy Road, Blue Lagoon area, Miami Intermodal Center, NW 27th Avenue, Orange Bowl, Government Center (downtown Miami), and the Port of Miami.
32 People's Transportation Plan RAPID TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS 2003-2025
The remaining 62.2 miles of rapid transit lines need to complete federal, state, and local planning processes to determine feasibility, technology, and corridor alignment. These corridors include, but are not limited to, the following:
Earlington Heights/Airport Connector: A 3.1-mile extension from the Earlington Heights Metrorail station to the Miami Intermodal Center, located on the east side of Miami International Airport.
Baylink: A 5.1-mile corridor between downtown Miami and south Miami Beach.
Kendall Corridor: A 15-mile corridor with both east-west and north-south segments.
Northeast Corridor: A 13.6-mile corridor from downtown Miami, through Little Haiti, to NE 215 Street, generally along the Biscayne Blvd./U.S. 1 Corridor and Florida East Coast railroad right-of- way.
Rail Extension to Florida City: A 21-mile rail extension along U.S. 1 consisting of two segments: one from Dadeland South Metrorail station to Cutler Ridge; a second segment from Cutler Ridge to Florida City.
Douglas Road Extension: A 4.5-mile corridor from the Douglas Road Metrorail station to the Miami Intermodal Center.

MAJOR HIGHWAY&ROAD IMPROVEMENTS 2003-2013
Neighborhood Mobility Improvements Neighborhood improvements include modification of intersections; resurfacing of local and arterial roads; installation/repairs of guardrails; installation of school flashing signals and enhancement of greenways and bikeways. Such improvements also include replacement/repair of sidewalks, repair/installation of drainage and landscape beautification related to the development, operation or maintenance of bus and fixed guideway systems. — Accelerates program to provide ADA accessibility to bus stops throughout the County.
Municipal Improvements
Cities to receive a pro rata share (determined by population) of 20% total surtax revenues on an annual basis (currently estimated at $31.3 million [one half percent]).
Cities will preserve the level of transportation funding currently in their FY 2001- 2002 budgets (I.e. their maintenance of effort dollars). Maintenance of effort excludes special bond issues for infrastructure improvements.
The cities will dedicate 20% of their surtax funds to transit purposes. This would include circulators, bus shelters, bus pull out bays or other transit-related infrastructure. If such utilization is inappropriate, the County will be afforded the opportunity to undertake such projects with those funds or the funds will revert to the municipal pool for re-distribution.

ANTI-TRANSIT COMMENTS &MYTHS
1. Miami-Dade County does not have the density to support mass transit.
Miami-Dade County is among the most densely populated urban areas in the country with approximately 6,300 persons per square mile. We are more densely populated than Atlanta (1800/sq.mi.), Dallas (3200/sq.mi.), Portland (3600/sq.mi.), Denver (4000/sq.mi.) and even Washington D.C. (3800/sq.mi.); all of which have extensive mass transit systems and continue to invest in mass transit expansion projects. Clearly the urbanized area of Miami-Dade County is one of the more intensely developed areas of the country. According the U.S. Census Bureau, Miami and its suburbs have 53% more people per square mile than Washington D.C., and its suburbs, where the area's Metrorail system provides 825,900 rides each weekday (as opposed to 48,500 for our current Metrorail system). The difference is that Washington has five lines with 78 rail stations in its urban core and suburbs, compared to our one line with 21 Metrorail Stations. Miami-Dade residents who use Metrorail report faster commute times and less stress than other residents; our current underfunded system just does not reach enough people.
2. Metrorail has been a failure. No one uses it.
Metrorail is a 21-mile line and not a complete system. On the southern feg of Metrorail, demand is so high that parking is at capacity. Anyone arriving after 8:30 a.m. will find it difficult to find parking at three of the southernmost stations. Approximately 50,000 boardings occur daily on Metrorail. If Metrorail did not exist, it is estimated that approximately 25,000 people would drive —which means at least another '15,000 vehicles on our roads.
3. Transit is a declining industry. No one will leave their cars to use it.
Nationally in 2000, transit ridership saw more than 9.4 billion trips -- the highest level since 1959 and for the 6th year in a row the growth of transit ridership out- paced the growth in vehicle miles traveled. Miami-Dade Transit ridership grew 2.2% over 1999 and March 2000 registered the highest average weekday ridership ever topping at 288,200, for total year ridership of 84 million trips, which represents almost half of the entire state of Florida even though there are 23 other public transit providers statewide. According to the Center for Urban Transportation Research, in Miami Dade County if every commuter drove to work instead of using transit, we would have 109,220 more vehicles on the roads. Even with the best transit system, traffic would not disappear, but many more Miami Dade residents would be able to choose to not be a part of the mess. And those who do continue to drive would be competing against fewer other drivers than if the system weren't expanded. Traffic in Washington is congested, but hundreds of thousands of people simply "opt out" of the traffic jams by using the D.C. system. 4. Transit is not important because its market share is so small. Only 3% of trips are taken on transit.
In 1999, the percentage of work commuters using transit in Miami-Dade County was estimated at 6.9%. (Source: Easing the Burden) Another study performed by CUTR concluded that of the 2.3 million peak period trips taken daily, 156,000 or 6.5% are taken on transit and not 3%. The 3% quote is based on a 24 hour average. Abetter measure of transit's effectiveness is transit competitive trips. That is to say, what percentage of trips does transit carry for which it can compete. The best testimonial is Metrorail along U.S.1. With over 110,000 vehicle trips on U.S.1, between Vizcaya and Kendall Drive, an additional 40,000 trips along the same corridor are made on Metrorail — or approximately 30% of trips are on transit. However, in areas, such as along the SR 836 corridor where mass transit is not available, it carries 0% of the trips. The importance of transit to Miami-Dade County and any other major metropolitan area can also be illustrated by considering what would happen if 50% to 60% of the approximately 270,000-weekday transit boardings were to shift to automobiles. Our expressways and arterial roads would be in total gridlock. Where mass transit becomes easily accessible, it becomes a viable alternative to the automobile. In fact of areas of comparable size, Miami has the third largest percentage (14.3%) of households without any vehicles. Let's examine this further, 3% of the county's population is 63,000 people. This means that, on average, each one of these people would have to take four transit trips per weekday, hardly the case. In fact Miami-Dade Transit has 52,000 seniors using the Golden Passport, sells 30,000 passes every month, and issues 153,000 transit school ID's every year. In fact, it is not the total trips that count — it is the number of trips at rush hour in a given corridor that matters.
5. Transit is subsidized too heavily, we should focus funding on roadways. Transit subsidies exceed auto subsidies.
Total federal, state and local government subsidies to Miami-Dade Transit declined by 10% in 2000, while farebox revenue grew. In 2001, transit received $6.3 billion in federal dollars compared to $31.4 billion for highways and $12 billion for aviation. Federal transit operating subsidies have actually declined, from a peak of $1.1 billion in 1981 to $246 million in 1999. Since the federal government discontinued operating subsidies several years ago, all public transit providers in the United States depend on operating subsidies from state and local sources to meet their financial needs. The federal government now funds only about half of the cost of new transit projects, but more than 80% of new highway projects.
6. Transit should pay for itself. Free market competition and privately operated transit is better.
Transit is a public service —just like police, fire rescue, parks, libraries, etc. The automobile is heavily subsidized through the fuel tax utilized for roads, bridges, and highways, insurance costs, maintenance, etc.
i~ 7. Why invest in a system that no one uses.
If we do not invest in the improvements outlined in the PTP, there will be no alternative but to have more cars on the road. Transit will as it does now on major corridors, reduce the number of cars on the corridors planned. MDT is the 16th largest public transit system in the nation, and provides nearly 50 percent of all the transit trips in Florida. In FY 2001, MDT's average weekday ridership increased to 274,400, which includes 46,300 Metrorail boardings, 211,900 Metrobus boardings, and 16,200 Metromover boardings. Special Transportation Services (STS) trips and trips provided for Florida's Agency for Healthcare Administration were not included in the average weekday boardings; these two services, combined, averaged 3,768 per weekday. MDT provides approximately 84 million trips per year, which is almost half of all trips in the state of Florida, whereas the other 23 transit properties in the state provide approximately 100 million trips. Other communities that have made a true transit commitment report riders, are, indeed, utilizing their first-rate systems. Portland, Oregon invested heavily in mass transit, and now the area of 1.3 million people (MDC 2.3 million) generates 300,000 rides per day. A conservative think tank, The Free Congress Foundation, reports that when transit competes in terms of speed and convenience, it succeeds. For example, if Metrorail did not exist, 16,956 additional vehicles would share the US1 corridor during each peak hour.
8. Investing in transit/transportation does not spur economic development.
Studies show that mass transit spurs density and economic development. Signs of growth are evident all along the Metrorail system. The most striking impact of Metrorail can be seen at the Dadeland South and Dadeland North Stations. Between both sites there are over 550,000-sq. ft. of office space, a 305-room hotel, 48 residential units, and over 320,000-sq. ft. of retail. The Shops at Sunset is another classic example of how transit and economic development is inextricably related. Since its opening, weekend ridership at the South Miami Metrorail Station has increased by 59%. Within the next few years, more development is expected to occur along this corridor, generating millions of dollars in revenue for the County, increasing rail ridership, creating jobs, and spurring economic growth. The quantified benefits are; every $10 in transit capital projects yields $30 in revenues; every $10 invested in operations generates $32 in sales; every $10 million investment in public transportation capital projects generates 300 jobs; and every $10 million investment in transit operations generates 600 jobs. (Source: The Benefits of Transportation: An Overview, a report available through APTA)
9. The sales tax should be rescinded once everything is build (Why can we sunset the sales tax?)
A stable, reoccurring source of funding ensures financing and bonding capabilities for capital projects, as well as provides the necessary funds for the operation and maintenance of transit services and rapid transit lines once they are completed.
41 10.The sales tax increase will only hurt the poor in our community and not resolve their transportation problems.
On the contrary, the economically disadvantaged in our community tend to benefit disproportionately to their sales tax contribution. Their discretionary income spent on taxable items is less. More of them are transit dependent and will benefit from the increased service, thus bettering their quality of life by providing better access to jobs, medical centers, educational facilities and other opportunities.
(Cost per day per person: 13 cents; (revenues generated $150 million (30% paid by tourist; $105 millionJ2.3 million residents/364 days)
11. UMSA will not benefit and is not included in the PTP?
Over 50% of the projects listed in the PTP are in UMSA.
12.We should copy other successful transit properties, such as NYC, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, Seattle, San Francisco, before we impose a sales tax increase.
Only two major transit properties in the U.S. do not have a dedicated source of funding —MIAMI and Washington D.C. All others rely on dedicated funds to partially subsidize their systems. Washington D.C. receives special funds from Congress because it is the nation's capital.
42 FACTS &FIGURES
13. Miami area ranks 10"t out of 68 areas in terms on (42 hours) annual delay per person due to congestion.
14. Miami ranks 16 in the amount of fuel wasted (128 million gallons) and annual cost ($1.5 billion) of congestion.
15. Miami ranks 15 in annual excess fuel (61 gallons) consumer per person
16.Gannet Fleming, Inc, has estimated that the average network speed in the count was 24.33 miles per hour in 1999; It is projected that in 2025 the average speed will decline to 19.51 miles per hour, a decrease of nearly 20 percent.
43 ~ : ~
1. How will the additional half percent sales tax resolve our congestion problems?
No, it will not resolve our congestion problems, but it will provide an alternative for commuting other than the automobile, especially since major roadways are beyond capacity with little to no room for possible expansion. Should voters approve this action, Miami-Dade County will be able to compete for federal and state transportation dollars for expansion of its rapid transit system (a.k.a. heavy rail, light rail). The surtax will serve as a funding source for many transportation capital improvements, as well as for the operations and maintenance of an expanded bus and rail system. It is estimated that Miami Dade County will be able to compete for billions in federal and state moneys for the County's 20-year transportation plan. However, without a dedicated source of revenue, our transportation tax dollars will go to other parts of the country.
2. Were other funding options considered?
Yes (list in resource guide). All these options were presented at all public meetings for comments and input. At the second Citizen's Transportation Summit, over 1000 people overwhelmingly voted their support for the sales tax as the most feasible option. The sales tax presented the only way of paying for an expansion of the transit system and roads and highway improvements. The tax burden is also shared with visitors to the county who pay an estimated 30% of the tax revenues generated.
3. Will my property taxes go up because of the additional half percent sales tax?
NO, property taxes will not go up because of the surtax nor is the sales tax applicable to the sale of a home or any item over $5,000.
4. How much money will I be paying in sales tax, if the additional half percent sales tax is approved?
The current sales tax of 6.5% will go to 7% on taxable purchases below $5,000. As always, rent, food and medicine will continue to be excluded. Taxable items are defined under Florida Statute and can only be changed by the state's legislative process.
Examples: A $100 shopping trip for clothing or other taxable products/services will cost an additional $.50 (from $106.50 to $107.00). If you spend $1000 a month on taxable products and/or services, you will be paying $5 more per month in taxes towards transportation ($1065.00 to $1070.00).
.. 5. Why do we need the additional half percent sale tax --- wouldn't it be cheaper to increase the expressway tolls to pay for transportation programs?
Studies show that a half percent sales tax is our best alternative to generate the necessary local funds to compete for federal dollars for rapid transit projects, as well as fund their operations and maintenance once completed. These federal dollars are necessary to build the transportation infrastructure defined in the People's Transportation Plan. It is estimated that to raise the amount of local money needed for the Plan tolls on Miami-Dade County's Expressway Authority (S.R. 836, S.R. 112, S.R. 874, and the Gratigny Parkway) would have to be increased to approximately $3.75 each time a vehicle crosses a toll plaza. The $3.75 does not take into account any future increases as projected in MDX's 20 year capital plan.
6. If we don't approve the half percent sales tax, what will happen to our roads and transportation system?
Without the ability to match, and thus the ability to compete for federal transit funds, we will not be able to expand our transit system to the extent needed. Without a viable public transit system that takes people where and when they want to go to major activity centers, our roads and highways will become even more crowded. Existing funds will only cover the maintenance and operation of we now have (21 miles of rail and 700 buses). Currently, the 2025 County's Long Range Transportation Plan shows over $4 billion of unfunded projects. This figure is even higher when you take into account the additional enhancements that are listed in the PTP, such as the rail corridors, bus fleet expansion, traffic signalization upgrades and other road improvements. Even if the federal government does not provide the 50% federal match for the rapid transit projects, with one half percent the County will be able to construct and operate 20.6 miles of heavy rail or 34.3 miles of light rail by 2023. To build all 88.9 miles without federal assistance will require an equal amount of fund from other sources or many more years to complete. The bus service improvement plan remains the same whether we receive federal funds or not.
7. Why must the local county government pay for transportation improvements, why doesn't the federal government pay for these transportation programs?
Under current programs, the federal government will only help those cities that are willing to help themselves; cities must provide a dedicated transportation funding source to be eligible for federal matching grants. Federal officials have become increasingly explicit about this requirement. Unfortunately, given the continued demand for limited transportation dollars, the criteria to qualify has become more stringent. Competition for these funds is expected to grow with each passing year given the number of projects already in the pipeline for approval.
45 8. Why aren't toll fees part of the plan like in 1999? Tolls are levied by multiple jurisdictions, such as the state (Florida Turnpike), municipal and county governments. The County's ability to eliminate (MDX-only) tolls during the previous campaign expired in 1999. The Miami-Dade Expressway Authority(MDX) was created December 1994, by the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners. In 1996, state legislation allowed MDX to assume operational and financial control of State Roads 836, 924, 112, 874 and 878 from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). During the 1999 campaign, the State Legislature had approved the elimination of tolls on MDX roadways with the condition that the County would absorb not only MDX's operation, but their capital and financing expenditures. 9. Which rapid transit corridor will be built first?
The MPO Board is charged with establishing the county's transportation priorities, however, the North and East-West Corridors will be more than likely the first two projects to materialize given their status along the planning process. However, by BCC action, the North Corridor project will be the first priority for funding from the sales tax receipt.
10.Will my tax dollars go to funding the new Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) projects?
No. At this point, the RTA does not exist. All that has occurred is that the tri-county area has endorsed the creation of a single, unified regional transportation authority to maintain a public transportation system serving Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties, and the renaming of the Tri-County Commuter Rail Authority (Tri- Rail) as the Regional Transportation Authority. The Board's support for the creation of a Regional Transportation Authority is conditioned upon the legislature amending Chapter 343, Florida Statutes, to require that the total membership of the Regional Transportation Authority (i.e., nine voting members) include three residents from each county. Additionally, the RTA will be requesting approval from the state legislature to levy a $2 surcharge on vehicle registration for financing RTA activities — should the state approve its creation. The PTP does not assume any proceeds of the sales tax will go to the RTA.
11. Why do we subsidize Tri-rail? (especially when most passengers are from Broward and Palm Beach -- does not benefit MDC residents} We should use these funds ($900k annually) to make improvements on the local level.
Although most passengers reside in Broward and Palm Beach County, the benefit to Miami Dade County is that for every Trirail passenger we have one less car traveling on 195 or along our North/South roadways, therefore, alleviating traffic along this corridor.
., 12. What is the MIC? Will it be financed by the surtax?
The Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) will be similar to Grand Central Station and other multi-modal facilities that can be found in several world-class cities. It will provide safe and efficient transfer for users of Metrorail, Metrobus, Trirail, Amtrak, taxis, and charter service. Additionally it will house certain aviation operations and rental car facilities. The M1C includes a peoplemover system that will connect passengers from the MIC to the airport. The MIC facility itself will not be financed by surtax, however, the rail extension from the Earlington Heights station, which is part of the North Corridor, is financed by the surtax. Funding for the MIC comes from a variety of federal, state and other local sources. The project is under the jurisdiction of FDOT. The program will be developed in phases. The entire program is scheduled for completion within the next fifteen to twenty years. The first phase is scheduled for completion within the next five years at an estimated cost of $1.35 billion and will consist of right-of-way acquisitions, access improvements (roadways), rental car facility, MIC/MIA Peoplemover Connector, MIC Core and joint development.
13. How is transit funded today?
FY 2002 direct operating revenues (fares, passes, etc.) are estimated at $66.9 million. Non-operating revenue, which includes advertising, joint development leases, etc., is estimated at $6.1 million. MDT expects to receive $15.56 million from the State for operations and $6.6 million from the Medicaid Trust Fund. Local government will contribute $116.9 million (including the Capital Improvement Local Option Gas Tax) and budgeted one-time leverage lease revenues of $15 million. The total annual operating budget is $227 million.
Capital funds fall into two general categories: funds spent for rehabilitation or replacement of existing capital assets and funds spent for acquisition of new capital assets or expansion. A combination of Federal, State, and local sources provide funding for these categories; the Federal government provides the largest share. The capital budget for FY 2002 is $104.3 million and includes funds for the purchase of replacement buses, facility improvements and rehabilitation, information technology, and the purchase of tools and equipment. y4. Will municipalities receive a portion of the surtax funds?
Municipalities will receive 20% of the surtax revenues generated to be spent on transportation enhancements only. In order to prevent a bait and switch of funds, municipalities will be required to maintain the same level of funds budgeted for transportation. Distribution will be based on population. Of the funds received, each municipality will be required to spend at least 20% of their share on transit programs and/or services. Should the municipality not utilize this portion for transit services, it will revert to Miami Dade Transit for implementation of transit services within and/or adjacent areas. Municipalities will be required to submit a list of their transportation projects for CITT review to ensure that they are eligible under Florida Statute to be funded by the surtax funds.
47 15. What will happen if a municipality utilizes the monies for anon-transportation project?
The municipality will be found in non-compliance and will forfeit their share of the transportation surtax funds. The monies will then revert to the municipal pot for re- distribution. y6. Who will oversee the expenditures and that what is promised to the public will be accomplished? What is the Citizen's Independent Transportation Trust?
The BCC approved the creation of the Citizen's Independent Transportation Trust. The members of the Citizen's Trust will serve as a truly independent "watchdog" group empowered to monitor, oversee, review, audit and investigate implementation of the transportation and transit projects funded in whole or in part with the surtax proceeds. Additionally, federal oversight is exercised over all rapid transit related expenditures, planning and operations.
17.Will the CITT have oversight of the municipal transportation projects?
Yes. Municipalities will be required to submit their list of transportation projects for compliance. Additionally, the CITT will have the authority to request reports and audits on transportation projects funded with the surtax revenues.
18. Will the BCC be able to overturn the CITT's decision?
Yes, however, it will require 2/3 (9 of 13) vote of the members of the full Board of County Commissioners.
19. Who appoints the members to the Citizen's Independent Transportation Trust?
A nominating committee comprised of 20 members who are representative of the geographical, ethnic, racial and gender make-up of the County. (i.e. Business chambers, United Way, MDCC, NAACP, FIU, and others). The nominating committee will submit a slate of four candidates from each commission district to the commissioner of each district for selection.
20.Can the surtax revenues be diverted for some other non-transportation projects?
NO. Under Florida Statute (212.055(1)(d)1-3) all surtax revenues generated must be spent on transportation only.
., COMMUNITY ISSUES AND RESPONSES
Below is a summary of the many questions/comments received at the various district meetings, Transportation Summit, and the website (Trafficrelief.com).
• Institute pilot program for red light cameras in Dade County. There would be no cost to the county because the cameras are installed by the vendor free of charge. A portion of the fine goes back to the vendor.
For many years, the Florida Legislature has considered bills to legalize this form of issuing tickets. However, none of the bills have ever become law. Therefore, Miami- Dade County is currently unable to institute a program.
• Need more E/W corridors.
In general, major North-South and East-West arterials are 1/2 mile apart. However, in the South half of the County, particularly between Tamiami Trail and Kendall, major East-West arterials are one mile apart. Unfortunately, the in-between streets cannot be easily converted to major arterials due to the residential nature of the surrounding land use, and their lack of continuity caused by the Palmetto Expressway and the Florida Turnpike Extension to Homestead. This should be reviewed by the MPO as a Countywide planning function.
• Expand Krome Avenue.
This is under the purview of the Florida Department of Transportation, however, monies have been set aside under the PTP for road safety enhancements.
• Need Turnpike exit at NW 74th Street to provide an additional E/W corridor.
This is under the purview of the Florida Department of Transportation.
• Increase speed of road construction
Roadway construction is performed by various agencies. In the case of PWD, we try within the contract specifications, to assure the timely completion of roadway projects.
• Need to design streets to allow a 53-foot truck to turn in/out without cutting over median
Specific locations would need to be identified to properly review.
• Need better connections between expressways.
This is under the purview of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Miami Dade Expressway Authority(MDX) and the Florida Turnpike Authority.
.• • Limit number of curb cuts on major through-ways
This is a broad policy decision involving various agencies that have ownership of major arterials, namely FDOT and Miami Dade County's Public Works Dept.(PWD).
• Prioritize roadway markings — after construction, make sure roads are appropriately re-marked.
PWD roadway construction projects include markings upon completion of the project.
• NW 25th Street overpass into airport should be moved to NW 107th so traffic can start moving from there.
This is under the purview of the FDOT and the Miami-Dade Aviation Department.
• SR 112 exiting onto NW 36 St. west
This is under the purview of the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX).
• Open up NW 117th Avenue from NW 41st Street south
Said closure was initiated by the Florida Turnpike Authority in connection with improvements to off-ramps in that area.
• SR 826 north bound needs an SR 836 west bound exit
This is under the purview of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX).
• SR 826 west bound to I-95 north bound connection needed
This is under the purview of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). • I-95 to SR 826 west
This is under the purview of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
• Do not allow blocking of roads during peak hours
Miami-Dade code prohibits blocking of intersections and can be enforced by the Miami-Dade Police Department. • Coordinate with School Board — new school zones significantly affect community traffic flow
School speed zones are provided for the safety of students during arrival and dismissal time. PWD policy regulates the hours posted on school zone signs. Currently, the signs limit the 15 MPH zone to 30 minutes before and 15 minutes after, during the arrival and 15 minutes before and 30 minutes after, during dismissal.
50 • Need more short-term solutions -widening and labeling right turn lanes at intersections
PWD currently has intersection improvements programmed (i.e. adding left/right turn lanes) at various locations throughout Miami-Dade County that offer short-term solutions.
• Changing 2-way flow to 1-way at certain times increases accidents and is expensive
PWD staff agrees with the statement above.
• Implement overpass systems at high-traffic intersections
FDOT is constructing overpasses at many locations: US-1 & NE 203 Street (complete), SR-112 & Le Jeune Road (complete), SR-826 & NW 103 Street (under construction), SR-826 &Okeechobee Road (soon under construction) and Le Jeune Road &Okeechobee (soon under construction).
• Stop signs are located E/W rather than N/S
Stop signs are generally installed on lower volume streets, rather than N/S or E/W. If the Stop signs are installed only in the E/W direction, it will result in increased speeding in the N/S direction.
• Readdress process of road resurfacing —cut through the politics —roads that have not been resurfaced in 20 years should be at the top of the list
Prioritization pending, however, additional funding is being proposed under the Transportation Action Plan to initiate countywide road resurfacing effort.
• How can we improve the design problem on SR 836?
There are 16 projects funded by the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority in the five- yearplan to address the design and traffic flow pattern on SR 836.
• There is a bottleneck by 57th Avenue. The tolls on 836 create traffic and need to be eliminated. I hear they are going to dedicate lanes for Hurricane relief bu# what about the Keys?
There are near-term plans for new toll plaza on SR-836 near NW 57 Avenue. However, the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority has longer-term plans to institute "open-road tolling," a relatively new concept to remove all toll plazas and track toll collection through high-tech means. The Florida Department of Transportation has been working on the design for planned improvements to the 18-mile stretch of US-1 that crosses the county line. Their design will consider hurricane evacuation.)
51 • No place for bicyclists to ride safely. Bicycle lanes are ignored or are nonexistent.
Bike lanes are required to be considered on all new roadway construction projects. Unfortunately, limited right-of-way and preferences for landscaping or wide sidewalks often prevent bike lanes from being implemented. Enhancement of bike paths and greenways have been included as part of the proposed transportation action plan developed from the input received at various district meeting and Transportation Summit.
• Dolphin expressway west to Krome Avenue
This project proposal would require an amendment to the County's Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP), which the County's future Land-Use Plan. Proposals for transportation improvements are analyzed for their benefits and potential negative impacts on future land-use and the future transportation system.
• Extend 836 West(Turnpike to Krome)
This project proposal would require an amendment to the County's Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP), which the County's future Land-Use Plan. Proposals for transportation improvements are analyzed for their benefits and potential negative impacts on future land-use and the future transportation system.
• Webcam strategically placed on major highways.
There already exists a network of surveillance cameras that provide visual updates on -95, the Palmetto, and SR-836. As part of the Advanced Traveler Information Systems — Sunguide —provides traffic Internet web reports (as one of the many ways they use to disseminate traffic information) at their website: www.smartraveler.com
• Radio broadcast by county (24 hours) to provide traffic reports &results of these workshops/issues.
The Traffic Radio concept is currently being explored. A Traffic Radio Feasibility Study was completed last summer by David Fierro and Associates responding to a request by the MPO Board Subcommittee. Implementation of this idea will require some time and sponsorship is currently being sought. This is apublic-private joint effort. If the private sector partner does not find the project worthwhile, it may not happen.
• Reverse flow w/moveable barriers during rush hours.
In the early 1990's, a study was conducted to explore the feasibility of implementing reversible flow traffic operations on a county arterial (Flagler Street). The recommendation from the consultant was not to implement reversible-flow on Flagler. (This recommendation was the result of simulations that showed an overall net negative benefit when considering the impacts to both directions of travel, safety, access to adjacent residential neighborhoods, increased north-south cross traffic demands and bus operations.)
52 The I-95 Master Plan includes the implementation of reversible-flow lanes during rush hours. The Florida Department of Transportation has not finalized the staging plan for this improvement.
• Change the 2-way flow direction of certain streets into 1-way flow to alleviate congestion during specific times of the day.
Reversible Lane Control Systems are an excellent way to improve capacity of corridors that meet certain criteria. Appropriate corridors have very infrequent side street intersections and very few driveway entrances. Unfortunately, Miami-Dade has very few, if any, arterials that are suitable.
• Reversible flow operations have been recently talked about for use on Kendall Drive. What action has been taken?
At the request of the Kendall Federation of Homeowners, the Metropolitan Planning Organization is in the process of assessing this concept on Kendall Drive, from U.S.1 to the Florida Turnpike. The results are expected within the next 90-days.
• Establish control growth limits until infrastructure catches up.
There appeared to be one statement that was directed to the Department of Planning & Zoning. It simply stated the frustration that exists as a result of additional traffic congestion caused by additional fringe development. In response, we should acknowledge the existence of the County's Comprehensive Development Master Plan and the legally defined Urban Boundary beyond which no new urbanization can occur. The majority of the development that has occurred in recent years is a result of development approvals that were granted years ago. In fact, the Urban Development Boundary has not been substantially expanded within the last ten (10) years. Recent initiatives are underway in an effort to accommodate a sizable portion of our future growth within the Urban Development Boundary and concentrated around existing and future transit facilities. In addition, our community must be willing to accommodate a sizable portion of new growth in other appropriate locations within the urban area. Not only must we seek ways to shorten the daily auto trip lengths buy also provide alternative modes of travel. It is not a question as to whether we will grow, but how. We must contain sprawl and at the same time insure our existing residents that future infill development will occur in a harmonious and well planned manner.
• The elected officials are usually better informed than the community. The community needs to feel involved in these decisions as well.
The Citizens' Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC) is an appointed body of citizen volunteers who report to the Board of County Commissioners and the MPO Governing Board on transportation issues. The CTAC meets monthly to review the various transportation issues. If a citizen wants to join CTAC, they should express interest to the MPO's Public Information Manager, Clinton Forbes. To learn about future transportation meetings, please call 305-884-7567.

103 MEMORANDUM
July g, TO: Honorable Chairperson and Members DATE: 2oc2 Board of County Commissioners SUBJECT: Ordinance levying one half of one percent surtax for transit FROM: Steve Shiver County Manager
The proposed ordinance relating to the imposition of a half-penny sales tax for transportation needs is anticipated to result in $5.596 billion in additional revenues over a 21 year period, given an average growth rate projected at 5%. During the first year of collections, it is estimated that the County will receive $150 million. Over the 30 year period, these revenues will permit the County to leverage approximately $2.5 billion in Federal funds and $1.25 billion in State funds to construct 88.9 miles of rapid transit and to provide funds for acquisition of additional buses, municipal transit enhancements, road and highway improvements and to partially cover the operating and maintenance costs for the Miami-Dade transit system. Fares are assumed and have been projected to remain at the same rate over the same period. Additionally, because the maintenance of requirements remain constant, it somewhat reduces the budgetary pressure on the general fund.

_c~_ M E M 012 A N D U M Substitute 4 Agenda Item No. 12A6
TO: Honorable Chairperson and Members DATE: July 9, 2002 Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Steve Shiver SUBJECT: Manager's Report: County Manage Comparison of One.Percent and One Half Percent Projects
This responds to a request made at the Jane 25, 2002, Transportation, Infrastructure and Environment Committee for a written comparison of what the community will receive if either the ore or the one half percent sales tax is approved by the voters in November.
RAPID TRANSIT PRO7EGTS: With a 50 percent federal and a 25 percent state participation in the cost of project construction, the County will be able to construct and operate 88.9 miles of rail service. With one percent, all rail lines will be able to be operational by 2020. With a one half percent, all rail lines will be able to be operational by 2031, eleven years later. If the County does not receive any federal funding for the rail projects, with one percent the County will b~ able to construct and operate 36.2 miles of heavy rail or 61.5 miles of tight rail, or a combination thereof by 2018. With one half percent the County will be able to construct and operate 20.6 miles of heavy rail or 34.3 miles of light rail by 2023. To build all 88.9 miles without federal assistance will require an equal amount of funds from other sources or many more years to complete.
BUS SERVICE IMPRO~/EME"~TS: The bus service improvement plan remains the same for both the one percent and one half percent scenarios. Under this service plan, there will be a total of 635 new buses. The Ccunt~,~ 4vill be able t~ acquire and operate 435 (100 full-size and 335 small) addi~icnal buses and the municipalities will be able to acquire and operate an additional 200 small buses. Thy Count~~ also continues tie recommended replacement of its existing and future buses.
FA~~~S: Un~er~ the one half percent sc~n~rio, fares wi!I remain unchanged and at fiheir present level. In Fie onF~ aercent sceneri~, all fares for tran$it service wild be eliminated (including STS), wi~~-'a loss of expected fare-box revenues over the next 21 years of $2.6 billion. In addition, forthose 21 years, $150 million of capital and operating expenses will not be incurred as fare collection equipment and staff wil! not b~ required.
158 Honorable Chairperson and Members Board of County Commissioners Page 2
NEIGHBORHOOD ENHANCEMENTS, ROADS AND HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS: Under both scenarios the funding level remains at $470 million over the 21-year period. MUNICIPAL ENHANCEMENTS: The funding to be provided to the municipalities will be proportional to the amount collected. In the first year of collection one half percent will provide $31,334,000 and one percent will provide $62,668,000. Funds will increase as collections increase.

How Does Miami-Dade Compare? Comparisons of Transportation Conditions Among Larger Growing Urban Areas that Reflect on Transit Market Potential
Center for Urban Transportation Research, Drs. Steven Polzin and Xuehao Chu
The comparisons that follow are developed using year 2000 Census data and 2000 data from the National Transit Database. These comparisons provide a portrayal of how Miami-Dade County, Florida compares to peer urban areas across the country.
In the year 2000 Census, Miami's urbanized area was defined such that it included the urbanized parts of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.. This Census Bureau defined area desig nation compares to other urbanized areas for other urban Figure 1 Urban Area Density Comparisons centers from around the country. However,for purposes (Density in persons per square mile) of understanding transit market potential and conditions 8,000 --- in the urbanized part of Miami-Dade County it is more helpful to look at Miami-Dade County exclusively. To 6,309 7,000 do this, we have estimated Miami-Dade County 6,000 urbanized area population by applying the urban/nonurban population share (approximately 98% 1 5,000 4,407 urban with the urban area comprising 353 square miles) 4,000 from 1990 Census data(when Miami was independently 3,000 '~- classified as an urbanized area) to the 2000 County 2,000 population. We have also retained the data for the Miami Urbanized Area, which officially includes parts 1,000 of the three southeastern Florida counties. 0 Q~ Q>~ O Q N Q Q D Q X X X Q Z ~ cn Z Q U N U Z N (~ U Q U U ~ ~ ~ I— ~— ~ ~ ~ Y } (3 Density Comparisons

~ REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION CONDITIONS FOR MIAMI-DADS COUNTY AND THE SOUTH FLORIDA REGION (Resear+ch Item 6)
The information contained on the following pages provides data on the regional transportation conditions for Miami-Dade County, Broward County, and, where applicable, Paim Beach County using readily available data from various sources at the local and national level. A review of mobility information provided in several recent studies is also included.
Specifically, this section presents data on the average network speed in Miami-Dade County, regional population projections, highway congestion and its associated costs (including travel delay and fuel consumption), average household expenditures on transportation, and a comparison of these conditions with other metropolitan areas in the United States. Also, the concept of a ~~Congestion Burden Index" is reviewed and information provided for the South Florida region and other metropolitan areas across the country.
Average Network Speed 4
Gannett Fleming, Inc., has generated current and future estimates of the average vehicle speeds on the roadway network in Miami-Dade County. In 1999, the average network speed in the county was estimated as 24.33 miles per hour. This figure represents an all-day average speed. ~n 2025, it is projected that the average network speed in Miami-Dade County will decline to 19.51 miles per hour, a decrease of nearly 20 percent.
Population Projections
Recent data show that the South Florida region, as defined by Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties, continues to grow rapidly. Over the next 25 years, Palm Beaeh County is expected to grow the fastest,. followed by Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, respectively. Table 1 on the next page summarizes these projections. the South Florida region will grow at a rate more similar to the medium or high estimates. It is important to note that these population projections are not based on the newest 2000 Census data (such estimates are not yet available, although they should be soon).
An examination of the medium population projections indicates that, between 2000 and 2025, Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties will grow at a slightly slower rate than the state of Florida as a whole, with projected growth in Palm Beach County (36.7°/a) nearly matching the projected growth of the state (37.7%). The high estimates show the three- county region experiencing significantly higher growth than the state's overall projected growth of 57.7 percent. While the range between the medium and high projections is wide, it is clear that the South Florida region will continue to grow rapidly over the next 25 years, as will the state of Florida as a whole. While Miami-Dade County is expected to experience the slowest growth of the three counties, it is still expected to increase its population by at least one-fifth (21.7%) by 2025, with a high estimate of nearly 65 percent growth. The fastest-growing county of the three is Palm Beach, which can expect a growth rate of at least 36.7 percent, or more than ane-third, by 2025. If actual growth trends follow the high population projections, Palm Beach County's population could grow nearly 87 percent in the next`25 years.
Results of the Southeast F/orida Regions/ Trave/ Characteristics Study
One source of regional transportation information for Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beaeh Counties is the Southeast F/orida Regions/ Travel Characteristics Study (Carr Srnith Corradino, October 2000). This comprehensive study included surveys of households, transit riders, area visitors, truck movements, and workplaces. Some relevant data resulting from the study are shown in Table 2 below.
Table 2: Select Results from the Southeast F/orida Regions/ Travel Characteristics Study* Avg. Household Home-Based Avg. Auto Transit Mode Zero-Vehicle Area Person Work Trip Occupancy Split(daily) Households Tri s Da Len th min. Miami-Dade 9.61 1.34 2.4% 30.46 6.3% Broward 9.86 1.31 0.9% 23.78 2.9% Palm Beach 9.97 1.34 0.5% 24,14 2.5% 3-County Region 9.81 1.33 1.2% 29.59 3.9% * Carr Smith Corradino, October ZODU.
Table 2 indicates that, regionally, households make nearly 10 person trips per day. The table also shows that the average auto occupancy for atl three counties is approximately 1.3 persons per vehicle. The transit mode split, also shown in Table 2, is highest in Miami-Dade County at
170 2.4 percent. Miami-Dade County has, by far, the largest transit system of the three counties (although the three counties have among the largest transit systems in Florida), and operates a heavy rail mode (Metrorail) and an automated guideway mode (Metromover), while the other two counties have bus systems alone. It is also important to note that Miami-Dade's transit mode split during the peak hours was found to be higher. The three counties all have access to the regional Tri-County Commuter Rail (Tri-Rail) service. Residents of Miami-Dade County also have fihe longest home-based work trip length, averaging more than 30 minutes, as exhibited in the table. Work trip lengths for the region are close to 30 minutes. Finally, Table 2 shows the percentage of households with no vehicles available. While Broward and Palm Beach Counties have less than three percent of their populations with zero vehicles, Miami-Dade County has more than six percent with no vehicles. Regionally, the proportion of zero-vehicle households is close to four percent. Of the transit riders surveyed as part of this study, it was found that, regionally, 40 percent come from households with no vehicles, while approximately 35 percent have one vehicle available. In addition, it was found that, region-wide, nearly 37 percent of transit riders would not make their trip if transit was not available (36% in Miami-Dade, 38% in Broward, and 35% in Palm Beach). These data show that at least one-third of transit riders rely on the service and have no other option to make their trip. •
Another interesting piece of information from the Southeast Florida Regions/ Travel Characteristics Study is that state and local spending on surface transportation facilities (including roads, buses, and trains) between 2000 and 2020 is expected to be $1.6 billion in Palm Beach County and approximately $2 billion each in both Broward and Miami-Dade Counties.
Easing the Burden—a SurFace Transportation Policy Project(STPP)
In May 2001, a Surface Transportation Policy Project (STPP) report was released entitled Easing the Burden. The project emphasized that the burden placed on an arsa's residents by congestion varies among locations, even if actual congestion levels are similar. The point is that, in places that have fewer transportation options such as efficient public transportation, more people are essentially "trapped" by congestion and have fewer options to escape it. With more transportation choices, individuals can choose for themselves whether to fight congestion in their vehicles or take another mode. Those who do choose an alternate mode of transportation subsequently help ease overall traffic congestion by taking cars off of the roads. In places with more and efficient transit services, a smaller proportion of the population drives to work every day, and a larger proportion avoids driving in congested conditions by taking another mode, which in turn improves the flow of traffic for those who do drive.
171 Transportation choice was measured via the Transportation Choice Ratio (TCR), which compares the relative supply of public transportation to major roads in a metropolitan area (i.e., the amount of hourly transit service provided for every mile of major roadway). A low TCR Indicates that the area's roadway system dwarfs its transit system, and a high TCR means that there is a relatively high level of transit service in comparison to the s(ze of the roadway network. While the TCR offers a means to compare metropolitan areas, it does not suggest an "ideal mix" of transit service to roads. Table 3 lists the Transportation Choice Ratto for a selection of the 68 metropolitan areas tracked by the Texas Transportation Institute (1'rI). The metropolitan areas for the South Florida region are Miami-Hialeah and Ft. Lauderdale- Hollywood-Pompano Beach. Palm Beach is not included among the 68 metropolitan areas.

STPP also calculated a Congestion Burden Index, which is an attempt to quantify the combined effects of traffic congestion and the degree to which a given population is exposed to it. It represents a combination of TTI's measure of rush-hour traffic, the Travel Rate Index (TRI) and
172 figures available for the percentage of the population subjected to that congestion because they drive to work. A high ranking on the Congestion Burden Index is ev(dence that congestion places a h(gher burden on area residents, both beeause congestion (s worse and few are able to escape ft by tak(ng other modes of transportation. The Congestion Burden Index expands the view of eongestion beyond the roadways to account for more of the travel system, and shows that, where congestion is a greater burden, the difference is the existence of "quality" transit service. For instance, while the Washington, D.C. area is shown to have the fourth-worst rush hour traffic congestion of the 68 areas included in this analysis, it has only the 31~`-worst overall congestion burden since there is a good supply of public transit alternatives available. Table 4 includes the TRI and Congestion Burden Index for a selection of the 68 metropolitan areas tracked by lTi.

Normally, areas respond to congestion by adding more space to the roadway network. However, STPP's analysis of TT! data shows that those places that have added the most roads
173 h~v~ nat bad great success in easing congest(on or slowing Its rate o~ growth, The study shows that metropolitan areas with the fastest-growing road systems are no less congested than areas that added the fewest roads, and have had just slightly better success at managing congestion. The reason why road-building can be Ineffective at easing congestion is because adding road capacity does more than meet measured demand, it actually generates additional demand, or "induced travel," due to increased car trips and new development. The induced travel results when a road is widened and more people then choose to drive on It, either by switching from another route, time of day, mode, or by taking new trips. Additionally, as the land uses around the roadway change, congestion increases even more. In the past 10 years, for the 68 metropolitan areas tracked by ITI, road-building, as measured by lane r~~iles, has outpaced the population growth (14.8% versus 11.4%). This suggestr that the increase In congestion fs due more to Increased driving than by a shortage of roads. The 68 metropolitan areas were divided (nto high, medium, and low road-building groups, and ft was found that population was not a factor since the average population growth for the low road-builders was slightly greater than that for the h(gh road-building group. The results of this study indicate that one of the best ways to fight congestion is by taking an alternative mode of transportation, such as public transit. Public transit use nationally has increased more than 21 percent over the last five years, far outpacing the growth in driving during this time (11%).
According to this STPP study, metropolitan areas where fewer people drive are not that way because of different travel habits, but because they offer people more choices, such as to flake an efficient bus or train. Although it is true that a bus, for example, could still be affected by congestion (if it runs in mixed-trafFic right-of-way as opposed to an exclusive right-of-way or busway), the rider is not responsible for the driving of the vehicle and can use the time, safely, for other activities such as resting, reading, working, or making calls.
An alternative way to address congestion is to give people a way to avoid driving In It. STPP's analysis of data from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the U.S. Census found that, in areas that ofFer more choices, such as efficient bus and train service, a smaller portion of the population is directly affected by the congestion. Hence, the findings from this study indicate that local officials seeking to ease the burden of congestion should promote the provision of public transportation choices over the provision of more roadway space. Despite the fact that poll data show a majority of citizens in favor of investing in more transportation choice, transit projects st111 often face major obstacles in acquiring funds (FHWA, "Moving Ahead: The American Public Speaks on Roadways and Transportation in Communities," February 2001; "Traffic Congestion and Rail Development," U.S. Conference of Mayors, January 2001; Southeast Michigan Council of Governments Survey, March 2001; Atlanta Regional Commission Regional Issues Poll, April 2001).
174 Table 5 summarizes select data provided in STPP's Eas/ng the Burden report for the Mlam(- Hialeah and Ft. Lauderdale-Hol{ywood-Pompano Beach metropolitan areas, and also provides data on lane miles and population. This table shows the mode split for the work commute alone and also illustrates that, while both areas have had a more than 20 percent increase in lane miles in the past 10 years, both have had population changes of less than 20 pereent during this time, indicating that road-building has outpaced population growth.
STPP also found that, in the Miami-Hialeah metropolitan area, if every commuter drove to work, 109,220 more cars would be on the roads in the area. In the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood- Pompano Beach metropolitan area, 47,344 more cars would be on the roadways if every commuter drove to work.

Table 6, on the following page, below summarizes additional information from the STPP report, Easing the Burden, for the Miami-Hialeah and Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood-Pompano Beach metropolitan areas. The rankings in the table show that the Miami-Hialeah area's congestion indicators are consistently in the top 20 percent of all 68 metropolitan areas studied by TTT. The Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood-Pompano Beach area fares somewhat better. The measure of Annual Delay per Capita, shown in Table 6, indicates that every individual in the Miami-Hialeah area loses 42 hours of time each year due to travel in congested eonditions. In the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood-Pompano Beach area, each resident loses 29 hours each year due to congestion. For both the Miami-Hialeah and Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood-Pompano Beach areas, the value of time was measured at $12.40 per hour. Also, the table shows that approximately one-third of all daily travel in both areas occurs in congested conditions.

The Transportation Choice Ratio (TCR) and Congestion Burden Index figures for the Miami- Hialeah and Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood-Pompano Beach metropolitan areas are presented in Table 7. The table shows that Miami-Hialeah's congestion burden is actually less than the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood-Pompano Beach area's. This ~is due to the fact that the Miam1-Hialeah area offers more transit options, including bus, rail, and peoplemover. Sti11, the Congestion Burden Index for both areas ranks high in comparison to the other metropolitan areas studied.

Driven to Spenc~a Surface Transportation Policy Project(STPP)
This report, from STPP and the Center for Neighborhood Technology, asserts that a major factor behind increasing transportation costs is sprawling development. It was found that less sprawling places that offer more transportation choices cost families less, and the difference can be thousands of dollars annually. Better transportation and growth policies can help families spend less on transportation and direct more money to investments that can build wealth, such as home ownership.
While the complete costs associated with transportation often do not gain significant attention, transportation is expensive, and for most Americans it is an expense second only to housing. According to this report, the average American spends 18 cents of every dollar on transportation, and 98 percent of that is for the purchase, operation, and maintenance of private automobiles (these figures exclude spending on air and ship travel). Transportation costs impact the poorest families the most. Up to one-third of the income of poor families goes
177 to transportat(on eosts. On average, households earn(ng between $12,000 and $23,000 annually spend 27 cents of every dollar earned on transportat(on. According to 1997 estimates from the U.S. Census (these data are not yet available for 2000), 21 percent of Mfami-Dade County residents Ifve below poverty. As such, transportation is a very expensive eost for at least one-fifith of Miami-Dade County residents. Transportation is still expensive even for more affluent households. Households in higher income groups spend approximately 14 percent of their incomes on transportation.
Since the early 1990s, the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) has shown that the portion of total spending devoted to transportation has grown steadily. If this trend continues, transportation could surpass housing as the largest household expense (in some areas, such ~s Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, St. Louis, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Kansas City, and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, but not Miami). CES data show that in 1997 and 1998, households devoted the highest portion of their budgets to transportation in Houston, Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Miami, and Detroit, as presented in Table 9 on the following page. Transportat(on expenditures for a selection of the 28 metropolitan areas are also displayed in Table 9. Nearly all the places at the top of this list are sprawling metropolitan areas that offer relatively few transportation choices for their residents. The areas found to have the highest transportation expenses were also found to offer little transportation choice, as measured by the ratio of transit service to roads (Transportation Choice Ratio). Sprawl increases costs by making automobile travel a necessity. Places were roadway systems dominate have higher transportation expenses.

Z Rank is out of the 28 metropolitan areas analyzed in the Driven to Spend report.
This report shows that the average American family in a highly-sprawled area pays approximately $1,300 more per year in transportat(on expenses than the average American family in alesser-sprawled area. It was determined through amulti-variate analysis of composite land use characteristics for 28 metropolitan areas that places with fewer transportation choices have higher transportation expenses (this was true even after removing New York from the analysis). This particular study grouped Miami and Ft. Lauderdale together and found that the average household transportation expenditures were $6,684, or 19 percent of all household expenditures.
Governments build roads, but individuals are responsible for the purchase, operation, and maintenance of the automobiles that drive on them. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), three-quarters of all auto expenses stem from the fixed-cost of simply owning the vehicle, regardless of how much it is actually driven. This exemplifies how
179 government declslons about transportation Investments can affect Individual budgets. Current government Investments that overwhelmingly favor road building may be contributing to increases 1n transportation expenses.
Spending on vehicles erodes wealth, while spending 1n the other major household category, housing, can build wealth. The Driven to Spend report found that, over a period of 10 years, a homeowner can get a return of more than $4,730 for every $10,000 invested in a home. However, an auto owner receives equity of only $910 for every $10,000 invested in an auto over the same length of time. Additionally, home ownership provides benefits such as tax- deductible mortgage interest and appreciating value, while auto ownership ofFers no such benefits. Anew $20,000 vehicle loses 25 percent of its value in the first year, and nearly 80 percent of Its value over 10 years. Vehicle ownership is often viewed as a lifestyle decision rather than a financial decision. However, the need to have vehicles has a real impact on the financial health of families. This report presents evidence~that the need to own vehicles makes purchasing a home more difficult for families. The inability to accumulate wealth, largely due to debt loads, has been fdentiFled as the leading constraint in attaining home ownership (Megbolugbe, Linneman, Wachter and Cho, "Do Borrowing Constraints Change U.S. Homeownership Rates?" Journal of Housing Economics 6, 318-333, 1997). Auto loans are the largest category of debt outside of home mortgages. Further, the Center for Neighborhood Technology has calculated that a decrease in the amount of debt held by families by a mere 2.5 percent could free up enough money to cover more than one million down payments on the average first home. According to the latest 2000 U.S. Census data, the home ownership rate in Miami-Dade County is 57.8 percent (the rate is 69.5 percent in Broward County, and 74.7 percent fn Palm Beach Counry). This report substantiates that by investing in a more balanced transportation system that offers more transportation choice, including more and efficient bus and train service, Miami-Dade County could realize the additional benefits of improving the financial well-being of many of its lower-income families and increasing home ownership in the county.
Government policies should help constituents get the best value for their tax dollars. A roadway-heavy transportation system may place a financial burden on those who must buy and maintain vehicles in order to travel. While residents in areas with good transit service may pay more taxes to fund it, the relatively small increase is far outweighed by the savings. Driven to Spend reported that a recent study found that the public realizes afive-dollar cash savings for every tax dollar invested in public transit services (Lewis and Williams, Po/icy and Planning as Pub/ic Choice: Mass Transit in the United States, Brookfield, VT, Ashgate Publishing Company, 1999). Th(s study shows that while gas prices, gas taxes, and insurance rates have been a focus of consumer outcry and political campaigns, they do not appear to account for the differences in transportation expenditures among the metropolitan areas studied. Interestingly
:t gas is, on average, eight cents less per gallon in the 14 areas with higher transportation expenses, as found in the CES.
ONven to Spend recommends that governments invest in transportation choice to help lower transportation expenses for everyone. With additional transportation choices, (t may be possible for a family's "second car" to be smaller, less expensive, or even non-existent. This savings could help families decrease their debt loads and put those who do not own homes on a path toward home ownership and better financial health. Other recommendations include the need to grow "smarter," offer location-efficient mortgages, collect better information, and give people a chance to save money by drlv(ng less.
Summary Data
Table 10, on the following page, is a summary of data on select metropolitan areas from TTI's 2001 Urban Mobi/ity Study. This study concluded that congestion is worsening in areas of ail sizes, and congestion costs, which can be expressed in many different ways, are all increasing. Also, the study found that, while road expansions can slow the growth in`congestion somewhat, additional roadways alone are not the answer. What is necessary to ease the burden of congestion, according to this study, is a varied set of choices that will require funding commitments, including more roads and more (and better) transit services.
Table 10 shows that the Miami-Hialeah urbanized area ranks 10"' out of 68 areas in terms of annual delay per person due to congestion, 15~' of 68 in the amount of excess fuel consumed per person, and 16~' out of 68 in terms of the amount of fuel wasted and annual congestion costs.
