Trolley routes. This plan will be presented to the Miami -Dade County Transportation
Planning Organization (TPO) on April 23, 2020. This item allows Commissioners to
discuss the proposed route changes and implications for the City's trolley program.
Background of Item:
Background Information:
Transit Alliance (TA) is a non-profit advocacy organization that advocates for improved
transit solutions. In the summer of 2019 the TA launched the Better Bus Project, funded
by Miami -Dade County (MDC) and others. The Project is proposed as a cost -neutral
redesign of the County's bus network and municipal trolley systems that is expected to
be completed by spring of 2020. It integrates city trolleys into the county transit network
to eliminate redundancy with Miami Dade Transit (MDT) routes and align the two
systems.
