Broward Commuter Rail Public Workshops The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Four and Broward County will be hosting 3 "Alternatives Public Workshops" for the Broward Commuter Rail (BCR) Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study, which runs from Deerfield Beach to Hollywood, including six stations, a new crossing over the New River, and a connection to the Miami Central Station.
A PD&E study is FDOT’s process to evaluate the social, economic, and environmental benefits and impacts associated with a planned transportation improvement project. The objective of the BCR PD&E Study is to develop and analyze alternatives that integrate passenger rail and freight rail service along the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway. The project team is planning to present a recommendation to the Broward County Commission of a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) in the spring, which will identify the general station locations and the recommended alternative for the crossing of the New River. A decision on an LPA is necessary to move into the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Project Development process which will allow the project to compete for federal funds through the FTA Capital Improvement Grant program.
FDOT will host three Alternatives Public Workshops (two virtual and one in-person) to encourage as much participation as possible from our community. Registration for all workshops is available here.
