Mobility Hubs are transit access points with frequent transit service, high development potential and a critical point for trip generation or transfers within the transit system. The 2035 LRTP introduced the ‘mobility hub’ concept.
The Hub concept has evolved as the Broward MPO has worked with partner agencies and local governments to design and implement the Hubs. There has been a greater focus on pedestrian and bicycle connections, secure and comfortable places to wait for transit, and safe and easy transfers between routes. These investments in public spaces provide the framework for private investment in places where people live, work and play.
The Broward MPO is currently in the process of updating the Mobility Hubs Program. The market analysis for Mobility Hubs, approach to defining locations and typologies of Hubs, and implementation program will be reexamined in order to better define locations for future Hubs.

The Downtown Fort Lauderdale Mobility Hub is the first Hub that the Broward MPO has programmed for infrastructure improvements. This Mobility Hub is centrally located in an area that is actively redeveloping because of its close proximity to the downtown business district and government centers.

The Cypress Creek Mobility Hub is the second largest commercial district in Broward County. The Broward MPO and SFRTA studied the Cypress Creek Mobility Hub in 2015, and identified infrastructure improvements, site plan concepts, and joint development strategies through the Cypress Creek Mobility Hub Master Plan effort. Recommendations include further evaluating site plan concepts for hotel and office uses on the SFRTA-owned land, pursuing an area-wide amendment to the Broward County Land Use Plan to maximize land value, updating building height and and parking requirements, utility improvements, pursuing road diets and streetscape improvements along Cypress Creek Rd and Andrews Ave, and engaging in the upcoming FDOT PD&E study for the I-95 interchange.
