to May of last year, when the Broward MPO was awarded a $15.44M Federal Railroad Administration Railroad Crossing Elimination Grant to support the Sealed Corridor initiative. 🔙✨

This important funding is helping improve safety and mobility across Broward County by targeting 21 rail-road grade crossings along the Florida East Coast Railway and Brightline corridor. The project includes safety enhancements such as exit gates and raised medians designed to reduce unsafe driving behaviors near crossings.

This effort was made possible through strong collaboration with Broward County and the cities of Dania Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, and Wilton Manors, which collectively contributed $3.86M in matching funds.

Today, we continue building on this work by advancing rail safety improvements and strengthening our commitment to safer transportation systems across the region.
