A Miami native, Forbes solidified a reputation as a leader and innovator in public transportation for more than 30 years — eight of which were spent as executive director at Palm Tran.
The Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) rolled out MetroConnect - formerly known as GO Connect - to provide improved free service and even more connections to Miami-Dade Transit.
The new order also includes two on-route Heliox 450 kW chargers and 50 Heliox Flex 180 kW depot power cabinets by NFI Infrastructure Solutions to support zero-emission bus (ZEB) deployment in Miami County.
More than 3,000 transit professionals and stakeholders joined FTA’s national conversation held throughout July and August.
The announcement builds on Miami’s commitment to transportation electrification by expanding its fleet to include an additional 42 buses — bringing the total to 75 electric transit buses from Proterra.
The project will create a new 20-mile bus rapid transit line with 14 weather-controlled stations running through some of the fastest-growing communities in Miami-Dade County.
Lyft now shows time, route, and price information from Miami-Dade Transit and Tri-Rail.
GO Connect will expand access to transit with a mobile app, reducing congestion and emissions.
