MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Christopher J. Russo, City Manager
DATE: 3/16/2017
Supporting Expansion of the New Starts Transit Program
RE: to Facilitate Funding for the Strategic Miami Area Rapid
Transit(SMART) Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the resolution in
support of a funding program for the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit
(SMART) Plan.
REASONS:
The SMART Plan is intended to increase connectivity and decrease
traffic congestion throughout the County. It will provide better transit
options for our residents and also commuters who work within City limits
but live elsewhere. In order to accomplish this plan, the Florida
Legislature created the New Starts Transit Program as a funding
program, this resolution support the state share funding to be increased
from 12.5% to 25% for this plan.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The SMART Plan is an initiative of the Miami-Dade Metropolitan
Planning Organization to implement 6 "rapid transit corridors"
throughout the County. The Northeast area, mainly Biscayne Blvd, has
been designated as one of the Rapid Transit Corridors within the plan.
Along the corridor there are recommended two future stations that will
benefit the City, one at Biscayne and 163rd Street and the next at
Biscayne and 197th Street.
