Frequently Asked Questions
The RTP identifies the most significant transportation improvements needed to accommodate the growing populations of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. SEFTC chose 2050 as a horizon year to complete the technical work required to design and construct these improvements. The primary functions of the RTP are to:
-
Identify investments that enhance regional mobility and access to the regional transportation network.
-
Improve safety and preserve the natural environment.
-
Assess different scenarios for our future.
-
Create a financial plan that lays out funding sources for implementing RTP strategies.
-
Select a prioritized list of projects that is supported by the public.
This horizon year selection was formulaic. The local MPOs have to update their LRTPs every five years and we follow suit. Do we have language from LRTPs on this?
-
To compete in the national and global marketplace, we need an efficient and effective transportation system. The RTP will provide more options for how we travel to work, school, and recreation areas, while still meeting daily needs. No matter where we are going, we need a transportation system that is safe to travel.
Population Growth
Southeast Florida is the fourth most populous urbanized area in the United States and is projected to grow at a rate of 1,900 residents a week over the next 25 years. Our transportation system is bursting at the seams, and we’re losing billions of dollars annually due to congestion. Building out a transportation system that accommodate a growing population will set our region up for a thriving future.
Connection
The lack of connected transportation and transit options impacts residents’ access to jobs and visitors’ access to local attractions, ultimately detering businesses from coming here. We must transition our future to be more economically resilient.
Severe Weather Preparation
Severe weather events that disrupt the transportation network in our region are becoming more common. Over the past two decades, our region has faced four major disasters that resulted in devastating flooding, loss of life, and infrastructure damage. Keeping roads, bridges, and transit systems operational is critical for maintaining a strong economy and keeping Southeast Florida a place people love to live and visit.
Emerging Technologies
Emerging technologies are a big piece of the puzzle. For our region to prosper from them, we need to stay ahead of them, understand how they can help us reach our goals and what challenges they may pose.

In the first place, the enormous cutting tackles, among other ponderous things comprising a cluster of blocks generally painted green, and which no single man can possibly lift—this vast bunch of grapes was swayed up to the main-top and firmly lashed to the lower mast-head, the strongest point anywhere above a ship’s deck. The end of the hawser-like rope winding through these intricacies, was then conducted to the windlass, and the huge lower block of the tackles was swung over the whale; to this block the great blubber hook, weighing some one hundred pounds, was attached. And now suspended in stages over the side, Starbuck and Stubb, the mates, armed with their long spades, began cutting a hole in the body for the insertion of the hook just above the nearest of the two side-fins.
