Each year, the Broward MPO sets Federal and State Legislative Priorities to guide the upcoming year of its legislative initiatives program. The goal of the legislative initiatives program is to achieve policy outcomes in Washington and Tallahassee that are favorable to the MPO and the Broward region.  

During the past few months, the MPO has engaged with local, state, and national partners to establish an updated list of Federal and State Legislative Priorities for 2026. The draft 2026 Federal and State Legislative Priorities build on the progress made during past years and address current issues facing the MPO both at the Federal and State level. Key themes for this upcoming fiscal year include: securing funding to build and maintain critical infrastructure, preparing our systems for new and emerging technologies, and promoting policies in both Washington and Tallahassee to improve safety and foster economic development in Broward. For the draft 2026 Federal and State legislative priorities, please see the Attachment.

At the upcoming meeting, staff will provide a brief statement on the draft legislative priorities and solicit feedback from the Board. Questions and comments will be addressed at the meeting.
