Purpose
- Reduce political fragmentation and provide a forum where transit projects, both regional and local, can be
identified, prioritized, and elevated jointly to the state and federal legislative delegations for funding assistance.
- Take advantage of special funding opportunities. A special funding opportunity currently with
reauthorization of the federal Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). Because the Transportation Equity Act is currently
reauthorized every six years, the region must act now to maximize the opportunity to secure transportation dollars. With TEA-21
reauthorization, many more projects will qualify for funding than there will be funding available. A unified South Florida Legislative Delegation
will be critical to the region’s success in accessing these limited dollars.
- Maximize existing transportation dollars. By presenting a unified regional voice and securing
regional support for priority projects in each county, the Regional Transportation Authority and/or its member counties will be able to
maximize its transportation dollars and create a truly regional transit system over time.
