CTAC is mandated by the State of Florida to serve as the liaison between the public and the TPO’s Governing Board. The committee is composed of appointed community leaders to advocate for the citizens of Miami-Dade County and ensure the TPO’s transportation plans are working to meet the community’s needs.

TSM&O staff provided the newly appointed CTAC members with a guided tour of the SunGuide Transportation Management Center (TMC). The group received an overview of TSM&O’s core services, including traffic management, incident management, and traveler information. Members also visited the TMC control room, where they observed the operator workstations and the recently upgraded video wall. The visit showcased the integration of advanced Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies, including real-time traffic monitoring, incident detection, and traveler information tools that support quick response and clearance efforts. Staff also demonstrated how the TMC collaborates with first responders to manage incidents and mitigate congestion. CTAC members expressed their appreciation for the high level of service the TMC provides to ensure the safety and reliability of South Florida’s transportation network.

Following the tour, the committee participated in a briefing led by representatives from FDOT and Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise (FTE). The discussion focused on each agency’s respective Five-Year Work Program, which outlines planned projects and funding priorities designed to address community needs. These programs emphasize investments that enhance safety, improve traffic flow, and expand mobility options throughout the region.

The meeting provided a valuable opportunity for collaboration and information exchange. It allowed FDOT to engage directly with this key advisory group and highlight ongoing efforts to enhance transportation safety and mobility across Miami-Dade County.

The CTAC was formed as a mandate by the State of Florida through the federal
government to advise the TPO’s Governing Board on their transportation initiatives. The
committee is composed of a seven-member team who are appointed by the TPO. They
are comprised of community leaders and transportation advocates representing the
citizens of Miami-Dade County to provide feedback on the Long Range Transportation
Plan, the Unified Planning Work Program, the Transportation Improvement Plan, and
many other critical plans that will affect the region.

TSM&O staff will host the group at the SunGuide Transportation Management Center to
give new members an overview of the program. They will learn about TSM&O Office’s
traffic management services, latest achievements, and upcoming projects. They will
also see a live demonstration of an Incident Response Vehicle that supports our
roadways. FDOT works in partnership with the TPOs across the state. This tour will
serve to strengthen agency relationships and promote goodwill among the partners to
benefit South Florida.
