Roads for Families Advisory Committee (RFAC)

To include all modes of transportation, the Broward MPO formed the Roads for Families Advisory Committee (RFAC) as a holistic approach to address the bicycle/pedestrian needs of the region. This multidisciplinary group (comprised of municipal and partner agency staff, representatives of non-profit groups, and advocacy groups) developed the Roads for Families Guidelines to facilitate and assist local governments in the implementation of Roads for Families. The RFAC also serves as a forum for exchanging new ideas and projects, as well as allowing members to showcase their individual Roads for Families efforts. More importantly, it is responsible for providing and guiding the Broward MPO Roads for Families Initiative.
