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 from Washington and Tallahassee that are favorable to the Broward MPO and the Broward region. This year the MPO is choosing to adjust our adoption schedule to align with the beginning of the MPO fiscal year rather than the calendar year as was done in the past. 

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 2023. The draft 2023 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: addressing climate change through sustainability and resiliency measures, 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 draft 2023 Federal and State legislative priorities are provided in the Attachment. Questions and comments will be addressed at the meeting.
