PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FOR FLORIDA'S GOLD COAST. DADE, BROWARD, PALM BEACH, TRI-COUNTY, FLORIDA

The report is the culmination of a 4 year transit planning effort in which the entire Florida Gold Coast was viewed from a comprehensive regional perspective. In a series of 22 technical reports (described in the Appendix) the need, feasibility and detailed description of the following Florida Gold Coast transit improvements were documented. The regional perspective enabled the location of rapid transit to accomodate heavy travel demand across the Dade-Broward line. South Palm Beach/North Broward Co. local travel market was considered for dial-a-ride service. Transit from Palm Beach Co. to Broward and Dade is recommended by interfacing express buses with regional rapid transit.
