PB TPA CORRIDOR STUDY

Which alternative do you think would improve transportation and mobility along the Okeechobee Blvd. & State Road 7 corridor?

The Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency (TPA) is conducting a multimodal corridor study to evaluate safe and efficient transportation alternatives along Okeechobee Blvd. and State Road 7, from the Mall at Wellington Green to Rosemary Ave. in downtown West Palm Beach.

Currently, the project team is evaluating the seven transit and roadway alternatives. This workshop aims to share the current findings, introduce the alternatives and solicit feedback on the preferred choice.

PBI ADDS SIX DESTINATIONS

PBI welcomes its 13th airline, Breeze Airways, in the airline's debut in South Florida with six unserved cities

Breeze Airways will introduce Saturday-only roundtrips from the Palm Beaches (PBI) to six new cities starting Feb. 19, 2022: Akron/Canton, Ohio (CAK), Charleston, SC (CHS), Columbus, Ohio (CMH), New Orleans, LA (MSY), Norfolk, VA (ORF) and Richmond, VA (RIC).

“The addition of Breeze to PBI is so exciting for the Palm Beaches and South Florida," said Laura Beebe, director of airports for Palm Beach County. “PBI is known for an easy, convenient, and stress-free traveler experience and the addition of six new cities means more people will start and end their trip happier. We welcome Breeze and are confident this new partnership will be a great success."

Fares from PBI to Charleston (CHS) and New Orleans (MSY) will start at $39 one-way. PBI to Akron/Canton (CAK), Columbus (CMH), Norfolk (ORF) and Richmond (RIC) will start at $59 one-way. Tickets are available on flybreeze.com or the Breeze Airways app.
