The Miami‑Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) governing board adopted the final draft Fiscal Years 2026–2030 Transportation Improvement Program and approved amendments to the 2050 long‑range transportation plan to add several Greater Miami Expressway Agency (GMX) projects.
Board members voted on three related public‑hearing items (5A1, 5A2 and 5A3) during the meeting; a roll call produced unanimous approval and the board stated the items passed. A staff presenter told the board the five‑year TIP contains approximately $12,300,000,000 in total funding across all modes.
The TIP adoption included an amendment updating the project cost for State Road 886 (Port Boulevard) from Biscayne Boulevard to PortMiami (Financial Management number 443913‑1). The board also approved 2050 plan amendments to add GMX projects listed in the public hearing notice, including SR‑112 Airport Expressway corridor modernization and multiple Dolphin Expressway (SR‑836) widening and improvement projects described by their GMX numbers in the agenda packet.
Staff summarized the funding breakdown: about 46% of the TIP funds were earmarked for state roads (including Brightline/Turnpike/FDOT/GMX projects), about 48% for public transportation (transit, seaport, aviation, SFRTA) and roughly 6% for county roads. Board members raised a brief concern about aging bridges over the Miami River and asked staff to consider whether funding for a 20th Avenue bridge rehabilitation could be accelerated.
The board took the vote after a public‑hearing period that produced no speaker cards. The roll call recorded the following board members voting yes: Board member Alonzo; Board member Bastian; Board member Bermudez; Board member DeSoume; Board member Fraga; Board member Higgins; Board member Lopez; Board member Lassner; Board member Milian Orbis; Board member Pages; Vice Chairman Diaz Padron; and (by roll call) others who answered yes; the board noted 12 members present and announced, “All items pass.”
The amendments and adopted TIP will guide project programming and federal/state funding requests; staff did not provide a new effective date in the meeting record and indicated members would continue to work with agency partners to implement projects and monitor funding schedules.
Ending note: The board did not receive public comment on these items at the meeting and directed staff to continue coordination with FDOT and other partners on project sequencing and potential acceleration where local priorities warrant.
