A recent South Florida Sun Sentinel Media Group piece by Lisa Huriash highlights the funding challenges facing South Florida Regional Transportation Authority / Tri-Rail, as discussed at the recent SFRPC & Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council Joint Meeting. Dave Dech Executive Director of SFRTA, spoke on Tri-Rail’s future plans, noting the system faces a $30 million annual deficit, with an immediate ask of $10 million per county. While assuring leaders there is “not an existential crisis today,” he emphasized the need for sustainable funding. Broward County Commissioner Steve Geller, Immediate Past Chair of SFRPC, stressed the urgency of the issue. “We have to continue Tri-Rail. … I don’t know how we do it, and I don’t know how we don’t do it.” As counties finalize their budgets, transit funding remains a critical regional issue.

关于我们
Regional Planning Councils (RPCs) in Florida exist as a response to area wide or regional circumstances and needs. The RPCs were created by voluntary interlocal agreements (most commonly under 163.01, Florida Statutes), which created a consistent geographic framework within which planning and technical assistance activities could be developed and implemented. The Florida Legislature identified the role of the RPC as “Florida’s only multi-purpose regional entity that is in a position to plan for and coordinate intergovernmental solutions to growth-related problems on greater-than-local issues, provide technical assistance to local governments, and meet other needs of the communities in each region.” The general purpose of the South Florida Regional Planning Council is articulated in its mission, which is to identify the long-term challenges and opportunities facing Southeast Florida and assist the Region’s leaders in developing and implementing creative strategies that result in more prosperous and equitable communities, a healthier and cleaner environment, and a more vibrant economy. Specific rights, duties and powers of the RPCs are defined in the Florida Statutes and will be described in the section entitled “Statutory Guidelines.” The South Florida Regional Planning Council’s mission is to provide state and local policymakers with the information they need to build a better future for South Floridians. Our geographic areas of responsibility encompass Broward County, Miami-Dade County, and Monroe County, and all of their municipalities.
