Multimodal System and Land Use
Our goal is to provide a connected, accessible, efficient, and reliable multimodal transportation system that is well-integrated with supportive land uses and affordable workforce housing.
Preserve, restore, or expand regional transportation system capacity and operations to meet existing and projected passenger and freight demands while maximizing utilization of advancements in technology.
Provide reliable auto, freight, and transit travel times through effective coordination with and support for partner freight plans, modal plans, transit development plans, and other such plans and mobility advancement programs.
Increase mode choice opportunities, access to jobs and essential destinations and collaborate on the implementation of Complete Streets policies, guidelines and funding programs with emphasis on high-capacity transit corridors.
Increase density and intensity of origins and destinations, and establish affordable workforce housing in Transit Oriented Development areas and corridors near regional transit and promote (re)development in mixed-use activity centers.
Improve connectivity for roadway and active transportation facilities to maximize more direct travel.
Work with local governments to encourage consistent and coordinated decision making on land use and transportation (re)development.

2050 Regional Transportation Plan Vision
"A Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) that addresses the changing needs of our region, including emerging technologies, sustainable infrastructure, ensuring transit supportive land uses, and increased transportation options providing access to desired destinations. This plan will summarize regional needs, gather support for adopted policies, and refine guidelines for implementation. The RTP advocates for a flexible and fair reallocation of funds to enact the priorities of the region for all users."
2050 Regional Transportation Plan Goals
The 2050 RTP’s regional goals and objectives guide the Southeast Florida region toward stronger regional planning and sound transportation investments. These regional goals and objectives are part of the ongoing coordination efforts of the region’s three transportation organizations.
