MOTION TO APPROVE the 2026 Broward MPO Federal and State Legislative Priorities
WHAT THIS ACTION ACCOMPLISHES:
Approval of this action will finalize and set the MPO's Federal and State legislative priorities for 2026.
SUMMARY EXPLANATION/BACKGROUND:
Each year, the Broward MPO sets Federal and State legislative priorities to guide the upcoming year of its legislative initiatives program. The goal of this program is to achieve policy outcomes from Washington and Tallahassee that are favorable to the Broward MPO and the Broward region.
During the past few months, the Broward MPO has engaged with local, State, and national partners to establish an updated list of Federal and State legislative priorities for 2026. The 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.
The proposed 2026 Federal and State legislative priorities are provided in the Attachment. MPO staff will be available to address any questions or comments at the upcoming meeting.
