The system has maintained its upward trend continuing to show more signs of growth, having topped 14,000 weekday passengers (92%) for the first time since 2020, twice in November.
“We continue to see hundreds of bicycles and scooters onboard, plus our luggage racks are constantly full even on weekends” added David Dech, SFRTA executive director. “Travel season is a 365-day operation in South Florida and we proudly serve passengers with connections to all three major South Florida airports all year round.”
SFRTA focused its efforts on increasing airport ridership this past year, updating the Fort Lauderdale Airport shuttle service to 15- to 20-minute frequencies, providing an Uber/taxi voucher for Palm Beach International Airport, and developing a marketing campaign that was recently recognized with a first Place Florida Public Transportation Association Marketing Award.
The plan outlines funding for transit operations, capital projects, and freight and passenger rail initiatives, as state officials seek public input on priorities shaping mobility and infrastructure across the Commonwealth.
