The Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is an agency responsible for making policy on local transportation issues and deciding how to spend federal money on transportation projects within Broward County. Broward MPO is developing a Complete Streets Master Plan to guide future investments by creating a prioritized list of projects based on technical, data-driven analysis and community input.
