Safe Streets Summit

The Safe Streets Summit is a collaborative effort between the Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization, Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization, and the Palm Beach TPA to provide a local yet regionally connected approach to prioritizing and implementing Complete Streets throughout Southeast Florida. The 2023 Safe Streets Summit will be held on February 2-3 in Hollywood, FL. Take advantage of the early bird rates ending this Thursday, December 15!

Sponsorship Opportunities are now available - learn more here.

The Safe Streets Awards are an opportunity to highlight individuals and jurisdictions that have led by example in creating better streets for all users. The deadline for nominations is this Thursday, December 15.

See Tracks? Think Train

The TPA recently participated in the launch of the City of West Palm Beach's holiday Railway Safety Campaign to draw attention to the importance of staying safe near train tracks. West Palm Beach is served by four private and public operators. Amtrak, Brightline and Tri-Rail provide railway passenger service and the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) delivers freight throughout the city and Florida. When approaching a crossing, be aware and never stop on the tracks. Stay alert and follow all signs and instructions.

A Grant Program Overview Workshop was held on November 3 to review the three annual funding programs the TPA administers. The workshop is available to watch online. Applications are due February 17, 2023. Don't forget to sign-up for the required pre-application meeting before submitting project applications.
