    Facts at a Glance


    Growing Population
    South Florida’s population is expected to increase by more than 2.6 million, raising the region’s population to 7.6 million, by 2030.

    Increasing Congestion
    From 1982 to 1999 the region’s population increased 42% while the average number of miles driven by each driver increased 62%. South Floridians are spending an increasing amount of traveling time stuck in traffic.

    Regional Partnerships
    Local and Regional Success - No one county can meaningfully address growing regional transportation impacts within its borders working in isolation. The transit needs in the region far outweigh any one county’s ability to secure adequate resources working alone.

    Needs are greater than resources
    2025 Estimate of Unfunded Transit Needs in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties = $6.462 billion

    South Florida’s Congressional and State Legislative Delegations
    South Florida’s elected federal and state representatives currently represent over 30% of the elected membership of the Florida Congressional Delegation and State Legislature. A unified regional “South Florida” agenda supported by Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties’ federal and state legislative representatives would greatly increase the region’s political power and ability to access a wide range of resources.
