🚌 It’s School Bus Safety Week!

School buses are one of the safest ways for children to travel, but there are still important safety reminders for everyone sharing the road.

🚨 Always stop for a school bus when the red lights are flashing and the stop-arm is extended. Do not attempt to pass.

🟡 When yellow lights are flashing, slow down and prepare to stop.

👀 Watch carefully for children around bus stops and remember that the area around a school bus can have limited visibility.

📵 Stay focused and avoid distractions while driving near schools and bus stops.

If you’ve ever waited for the bus and thought, “This stop could really use a shelter,” there’s a way to make your request known. ☀️

First, check whether your stop is part of the Broward County Transit (BCT) network.

If it is, you can request a shelter by contacting BCT Customer Service at (954) 357-8400 or [email protected]. If the stop is outside the BCT network, contact your city’s Public Works Department.

So the next time you’re standing at your stop thinking, “Surely someone can do something about this,” now you know who to ask. 😉

Have more transportation questions? Learn more in the Broward MPO Resident Guidebook.

Getting around Broward comes with questions. Finding the answers should be the easy part.

That’s Mobility. Planned. Openly.

Pedestrian Safety Month is a reminder that everyone shares the road.

Whether you’re walking to school, heading to work, running an errand or taking a walk around the neighborhood, there are simple ways to help make every trip safer.

👟 Pedestrians should use sidewalks and crosswalks when available and obey traffic signals.

👀 Stay alert, avoid distractions and make eye contact with drivers when possible before crossing.

🚗 Drivers should slow down, watch for pedestrians and yield at crosswalks.

🌙 Remember to take extra caution at night or during bad weather when pedestrians can be harder to see.

Safe roads take everyone doing their part. Learn more about pedestrian safety at NHTSA.gov/PedestrianSafety.

Sharing transportation ideas across state lines! 🚗💡

This September, Broward MPO hosted the Utah/Broward Tech Transfer, welcoming representatives from the Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), MAG - Mountainland Association of Governments, and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

The two-day exchange included presentations on the Roads for Families program and SMART METRO digital twin, along with site visits to urban and suburban roadway projects in Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and Sunrise. The group also discussed how transportation investments, technology and innovative planning tools can help communities address current and future transportation needs.

Thank you to WFRC, MAG and FHWA for joining us for this exchange of technology, ideas and collaboration! 🤝

Can I ride my bike on the sidewalk? 🚲

You can! But there’s a right way to roll. 😉

In Florida, bicyclists can generally ride on sidewalks, although local rules may apply. Just remember that pedestrians have the right of way. Slow down, give them space and give an audible signal before passing.

If this question has crossed your mind, you probably have a few others. Pedal to the answer by downloading the Broward MPO Resident Guidebook for more information about biking, driving, transit and beyond.

That’s Mobility. Planned. Openly.
