Transit Summit Begins Dialogue for Developing
a Public Transportation Plan
On October 16, 2007, elected and appointed officials, community and business leaders, and transit riders came together to address the public transportation issues confronting our region. Through roundtable discussions and presentations by Broward County Mayor Josephus Eggelletion, Vice-Mayor Lois Wexler and Bill Millar, President of the American Public Transportation Association, participants were informed of transportation concerns and offered solutions to meet current and future public transportation needs.
Upcoming Meetings
More Transit Forums will be scheduled for the month of September. Please check back for new dates.
- What are the three major public transportation issues in our region?
- What should be done now and in the future to improve public transportation?
We want to hear your comments to the above questions. Voice your concerns, ideas and recommendations towards a regional public transportation plan! Send your comments to bctsurvey@broward.org. Please write in the Subject field of your email “Transit Summit Comments.”
