Broward County is gearing up for a major shift in public transit as District 7 Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis and Broward County Transit (BCT) CEO/General Manager Coree Cuff Lonergan present TransitFORWARD 2040, a 15-year vision plan aimed at reshaping the county’s mobility landscape.
The unveiling takes place this evening, Tuesday, March 10, from 5:30 to 7 PM at the Alexandra P. Davis Multi-Service Complex, 6700 Miramar Parkway, Miramar. The presentation will detail a multiphase roadmap designed to make Broward County more connected, accessible, and rider-focused.
TransitFORWARD 2040 outlines near-, mid-, and long-term improvements to the county’s transit system, including efforts to reduce wait times, extend service hours, and introduce innovative “microtransit” zones. These zones are designed to provide on-demand, localized shuttle services that link neighborhoods with major transit hubs.
“Our goal is to ensure that every resident, regardless of where they live in the County, has a reliable and affordable way to traverse throughout the County,” Commissioner Davis said. “TransitFORWARD 2040 is not just a list of changes; it is a commitment to mobility. By investing in this vision, we are building a transit system for a more connected Broward.”
BCT officials will also demonstrate how the plan aligns with Broward County’s broader growth strategy, focusing on high-frequency corridors and upgraded amenities, including smart bus shelters and real-time tracking systems.
“TransitFORWARD 2040 represents a paradigm shift in how we move people,” said Lonergan. “We are moving away from a traditional ‘one-size-fits-all’ bus system toward a dynamic, multi-modal network. By implementing microtransit and increasing our service frequency, we are making the bus a first-choice option for commuters rather than a last resort.”
With TransitFORWARD 2040, Broward County aims to create a transit system that better serves residents, businesses, and visitors, shaping a future of enhanced mobility and connectivity.
