The Miami-Dade TPO commissioned this study from a long-term solution perspective to examine the feasibility of a tunnel facility under the Miami River. This report documents the investigation of the feasibility of constructing a tunnel facility connecting Brickell Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard under the Miami River in Downtown Miami. Such a tunnel would provide relief to traffic using the Brickell Avenue bridge, and lessen the severity of congestion near the bridge. The specific focus of the study was to identify alternatives that were technically feasible in regard to geometric alignment and construction method. While the study touches upon environmental and traffic circulation elements associated with a tunnel in this area, those elements were limited in their scope. The primary mission was to develop conceptual tunnel configurations that could be implemented, and that could be further investigated in subsequent more detailed studies.

The objective of the study is to identify any changes in travel behavior trends from the onset of the pandemic, through to 2021, that may inform the long-range transportation planning process. This was done by comparing pre-pandemic transportation related data sets to data collected during various phases of the pandemic and post lock down. Trend analysis for traffic volumes, transit usage, airport/cruise port passengers and other transportation data were completed using 2019 (pre-pandemic), 2020, and available 2021 data. This analysis is intended to serve as a baseline, as conclusions about impacts on future travel are difficult to discern using current data, because the pandemic is still ongoing.

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped daily life, making significant changes in how people operated. While the pandemic has presented a range of challenges, it has also presented opportunities to showcase resilience. Telecommuting is one example of that resilience, reflected in a growing trend in many industries to comply with social distancing guidelines. In mid-summer, the Miami-Dade TPO Governing Board approved a study focusing on the concept of telecommuting as part of a long-term overall strategy to reduce congestion and improve mobility in Miami-Dade County. The Miami-Dade TPO, in partnership with FDOT District Six and Florida International University (FIU), embarked on an effort to understand telecommuting trends and the possibility that telecommuting can be used as a traffic mitigation strategy to “Flatten the congestion curve” post-COVID-19. A significant outcome of the study is the advancement of a series of policy actions, including a Pilot Telecommuting Program in partnership with the South Florida Commuter Services (SFCS). This study includes an assessment of national and international telecommuting trends; a telecommute survey providing insights into the telecommuting experience; and viable policy recommendations that can be implemented to promote telecommuting in Miami-Dade County.

The purpose of this project was to update and maintain the Crash Data System for Miami-Dade County Traffic Engineering and MPO. The Miami-Dade crash data system is developed and hosted at the University of Florida.

The system allows users to identify and map high crash locations in all the county roads based on number of crashes and injury severity. In addition, the system provides crash intersection diagrams, tables, charts and summarized reports as well as access to individual crash reports.

The system is accessed via internet through a web browser. Miami- Dade County Traffic Engineering manages the access privileges for the users of the system.

During the 2009-2010 contract University of Florida obtained, processed, mapped and loaded the long form crashes for year 2009. This included automobile, bicycle and pedestrian crashes. The raw crash data was obtained from Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV). The data was converted in a suitable database format and was mapped to the Miami-Dade streets.

Additionally, new software features were added to the system. They include ability to produce reports with an expanded list of attributes for bicycle and pedestrian crashes and the ability to export the full set of crash attributes. University of Florida provided on-site training for the Traffic Engineering and MPO users.

The current crash database includes long form crashes in all Miami-Dade roads for years 2005 through 2009. The crash data system is functional and available for Miami-Dade County users. UF will provide $35,640 through Miami-Dade Public Works. RESULTS: Miami-Dade Geographical Information Systems (GIS) crash data

Completed an analysis to maximize the future capacity along the US-1 corridor which includes multimodal (nonmotorized) improvements, roadway improvements, and adoption of technology (SMART signals). Based on the reviewed transportation and master plans completed along the corridor, a list of 19 pedestrian and bicycle improvement projects (e.g., sidewalk gaps, trail improvements, bicycle facility improvements) are recommended to move forward to the next phase of implementation. High trip generators were identified within the First Mile/Last Mile service areas for each municipality and unincorporated areas along the corridor. This data will serve as a resource tool for the Miami-Dade County and municipalities to identify opportunities for pick-up/drop-off stations/locations to extent existing on-demand services or introduce new services (e.g., micro-mobility) in the area.
