The Broward MPO, Broward County Transit, FDOT, and Broward County are all planning for premium transit (including rail and premium bus solutions) on east-west corridors, including Oakland Park Blvd, and Hollwood/Pines Blvd, in addition to other premium transit systems like the Wave Streetcar.

The current Broward County Comprehensive Plan includes support for the Central Broward East-West Transit Corridor to alleviate traffic on I-595 (Transportation Element Policy 3.4.18). The County is updating its Comprehensive Plan as part of BrowardNEXT. Link to Transportation Element

In its annual update, Broward County Transit listed the rapid bus corridors and included the vision rail transit network map that includes east-west alignments. Link to BCT TDP 2017-2026 Annual Update
