About SEFTC
As a result of the 2000 U.S. census, the Miami Urbanized Area encompasses parts of the Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. The Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO’s) for each respective County responded to the potential of consolidating into a single MPO by committing to develop and implement a coordinated planning effort resulting in, but not limited to:
- Regional long range transportation plan covering the tri-county region,
- Regional project prioritization and selection process,
- Regional public involvement process,
- Performance measures to assess the effectiveness of regional coordination
After several years of ad hoc coordination, the Southeast Florida Transportation Council was created, under Florida Statutes Chapter 334.175(5)(i)(2), to serve as a formal forum for policy coordination and communication to carry out these regional initiatives agreed upon by the MPO’s from Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties. An interlocal agreement between the MPO’s was completed in 2005 paving the way for the first SEFTC meeting in January 2006.
Since its inception SEFTC has adopted:
- Regional goals and objectives
- Regional corridor of significance criteria
- Regional long range transportation plan
- Project lists for Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP)
Staff support to the SEFTC is provided by the respective MPO’s in a rotating fashion. The Regional Long Range Transportation Planning (RLRTP) Committee is a staff-level working group tasked to addresses many of the issues brought before the SEFTC. The RLRTP Committee is made up of the major transportation planning agencies within the region including the Broward MPO, Miami-Dade MPO, and Palm Beach MPO.
