ABOUT THE COA

Broward County Transit (BCT) is conducting its Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA), to stay current on community needs, operational issues, and opportunities to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of transit service. It will cover the entire BCT service area including existing local fixed routes, express routes, community shuttle routes, paratransit service, and planned bus rapid transit, light rail and commuter rail lines.

The project goals are to:

  • Recommend operational improvements in the near, mid, and long term that grow ridership 
  • Expand fixed route, community shuttle, and express routes
  • Integrate the planned premium network (PREMO)
  • Incorporate mobility on demand (MOD) options

The project started in August 2023 and will be completed in December 2024. The first phase includes​ data collection, community engagement, and a technical analysis of existing conditions to identify the key issues and opportunities. In the second phase, draft transit network recommendations will be developed to address those needs. These will be presented to the public for feedback and will be revised in the third phase to create a final plan that will guide BCT’s service development.

The final plan will have recommendations that: 

  • Modernize the network based on projected demand 
  • Identify recommendations designed to increase annual ridership 
  • Identify solutions to address operational or systemic inefficiencies 
  • Update BCT’s internal service standards and performance criteria for optimal network performance
