Comments:

The Palm Beach MPO often identifies opportunities for enhanced bus stop facilities within existing right-of-way as part of plans review. While the MPO does not have a formal program for this effort, staff examines opportunities as they arise, especially along roads where two or more PalmTran routes converge.

The MPO is currently leading the US 1 Mulitmodal Corridor Study which includes a transit-readiness component. The Annual Priority List of Projects, adopted in July 2017, includes Okeechobee Boulevard as the next multimodal corridor study to commence.
