Approval of this item will provide a recommendation to the MPO Board to approve the MPO's FY 2023 funding priorities as presented in the MMPL which includes the Broward MPO and Florida's Turnpike Enterprise (FTE) priorities. The MMPL will be used by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to program funding in the fifth year of the FDOT Work Program to the highest priority projects.

The MMPL is a core product of the MPO that serves as a bridge between the MPO’s Metropolitan Transportation Plan and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The MPO is required to develop an MMPL in coordination with FDOT District Four planning staff to set funding priorities for Federal and State funds within our region. The List is submitted to FDOT District Four annually by August 1 [s.339.175 (8)(a) and (b), Florida Statutes]. FDOT uses the MMPL to develop the Draft Tentative Work Program that is presented to the MPO each fall, which in turn is used to develop the following year's TIP. The FY 2023 MMPL will be used to develop the FY 2024-2028 Draft Tentative Work Program and the FY 2024-2028 TIP.

To view the DRAFT FY 2023 MMPL, which includes the priority projects from FTE, please see Attachment 1. The MMPL is also available on the MPO's website at the following link: https://browardmpo.org/core-products/transportation-improvement-program-tip (Please scroll down to the "Multimodal Surface Transportation Priorities and Methodology" section). Attachment 2 summarizes the projects fully funded or removed from the previous MMPL (FY 2022). Presentations given at the April 27, 2022 meeting by the MPO and FTE are provided in Attachments 3 and 4, respectively.

Staff will be available at the upcoming meeting to address any questions or comments on this item.

MPO staff recommends approval of the MMPL.
