RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the CRA Board of Directors approve the attached resolution
authorizing the Executive Director to meet with the Miami City Manager to discuss and make
recommendations to enter into an agreement to establish a Transportation Management Association
(TMA) comprised of business owners, to oversee Transportation issues as it relates to the F.E.C. right-

BACKGROUND
Pursuant to the CRA Redevelopment Plan of 1982, the CRA committed to resolve existing and future
transportation conflicts, encourage night and day activities in Downtown Miami and reduce travel
distance for Downtown workers. A Transportation Management Association (TMA) will coordinate
efforts of local government and private employers to provide free and substantial reduced
transportation services. These services will help alleviate traffic congestion by offering downtown
employees transportation alternatives, preserve air quality, improve our environment, and spur the kind
of pedestrian activity which is much needed to incite economic growth within the redevelopment areas.
