Explanation:
On May 21, 2021, the Department of Development Services, Engineering, Transportation and Mobility Division requested funding to implement six community shuttle routes that expanded service in both the eastern and western areas of the City to augment public transportation services provided by Broward County Transportation (“BCT”). On January 5, 2022, the City was notified by BCT that it would fund community shuttle routes located in the following areas:
1. Between City Hall and Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort (1 vehicle, 7 days per week)
2. A1A between Hollywood North Beach Park and the Walmart Supercenter, located on East Hallandale Beach Boulevard (2 vehicles, 7 days per week)
3. Between City Hall, Young Circle, Jefferson Park and the Big Easy Casino (1 vehicle, 7 days per week)
The Department of Development Services, Engineering, Transportation and Mobility Division will work with BCT to finalize the costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the routes so they can be incorporated within an Interlocal Agreement that will fund the program for up to 5 years.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this resolution will not fiscally impact the City as this is a proposal for an interlocal agreement which will be funded by BCT.
