Division of Transit and Transportation

The Metropolitan Center works in conjunction with local, state, and federal transportation agencies such as the Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Florida Department of Transportation and the Federal Transportation Agency. The Metropolitan Center serves to produce publications compelling civic involvement to better assess the service of the different transportation modes. These publications also serve as venues for citizens to obtain valuable information for their transportation needs and interests. The Metropolitan Center has also provided technical efforts to build useful practice techniques for underprivileged, handicapped, and elderly populations whose transportation needs are of prime importance. Public outreach has compelled most of the transportation initiatives in which the Metropolitan Center has taken the lead. The role of citizens is crucial, as they are the primary users of transportation services at all levels. The responsiveness of government and planning organizations is crucial to the development of a safe and efficient transportation system. The Metropolitan Center works to promote this efficiency and government responsiveness within the county, state, and federal government.
