A. FM# 456400-1 MIAMI URBANIZED AREA (UZA) BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT SECTION 5339(C): 
The Amendment proposes allocating $41,666,667 for expanding the Broward County Transit (BCT) electric bus program. The project is partially funded by the Section 5339(C) Low or No Emission Grant Program, awarded to BCT by the Federal Transit Administration, along with local funding. The project will replace 19 older 2013 model 40-foot hybrid buses that would have met their useful life or exceeded 500,000 miles with 25 battery-electric buses. BCT will also construct a 10,000-square-foot solar canopy that will produce approximately 150KW of power and two on-route inverter pantograph electric bus chargers with associated electrical equipment. 
 

Additional project description and funding details can be found in Attachment 1 or at the following link: https://www.browardmpo.org/core-products/transportation-improvement-program-tip. Supporting documentation is provided in Attachment 2. BCT staff will deliver a short presentation at the meeting. The presentation is included in Attachment 3.

The Amendment updates the project scope in the FY 2025 TIP to reflect this change.
 

C. FM# 445518-2 SFRTA RAILROAD CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS:
The application, which is ranked as the second-highest project in the Roads for Economic Vitality (REV) Program for Cycle 3, has been divided into two components: FM# 445518-1, which includes Johnson Street from North 35th Avenue to North 30th Road and from North 21st Avenue to North 14th Avenue, and is already included in the TIP; and FM# 445518-2, which involves South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) railroad crossing improvements at Johnson Street and is not currently included in the TIP. This Amendment proposes to add FM# 445518-2 to the TIP. The proposed $819,950 in Transportation Alternatives – Any Area (TALT) funding will be transferred to SFRTA which will be responsible for delivering the project.
