Transportation
When we work together, we are able to promote our joint efforts to help ensure Broward County's transportation infrastructure is diverse, technologically state of the art and has the capacity to meet the needs of residents, businesses, and visitors now and in the future.
A stronger and more diverse transportation infrastructure can be the key to higher levels of employment, access to work force development and education, but most importantly, access to opportunities.
