South Florida's Transportation Crisis

"This six-part series of editorials calls for a regional approach to solving South Florida's transportation crisis, along with a whole new way of thinking about transportation and land-use planning. The series was researched, reported and written by Sun-Sentinel Editorial Writer Timothy Dodson. Over a three-month period, he interviewed urban planners, business leaders, politicians and other South Florida, Tallahassee and Washington sources... [W]ouldn’t it be a lot more effective, from a regional point of view, if all of the planning were coordinated under one umbrella? Of course it would, but as yet there is no political consensus for establishing a Regional Transportation Authority... With time running out to start planning and building the transit system we need, and to gain access to large chunks of state and federal money, the three counties, and particularly the so-far-reluctant Miami-Dade, must redouble efforts to work together and bring this much-needed agency into existence."
