BROWARD
COUNTY, FL - Broward
County Transit (BCT) has officially launched its multi-billion-dollar Premium
Mobility Plan (PREMO) which will forever improve the transportation landscape
in Broward County. This transformational initiative will add more than 200
miles of new premium transit services to its existing service network. It will
also create new jobs, stimulate economic development, connect major points of
interest and provide Broward County residents and visitors with multimodal
transit options.
This Countywide
network of premium transit services will provide convenient mobility that is
attractive, safe, reliable and frequent. The PREMO plan includes 11.5 miles of
Commuter Rail, 23.3 miles of Light Rail Transit, 76 miles of Bus Rapid
Transit and 100 miles of High Frequency Bus Service with eight east/west
corridors and six north/south corridors.
A virtual
interactive room, available 24 hours per day, seven days a week starting today, May 16
through June 12, 2023, will allow participants to review an overview of the
plan, projects involved and an opportunity to leave comments. During this time,
live question & answer sessions will be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays
