The Safe Streets Summit is South Florida’s premier complete streets event focused on promoting and creating healthier, safer, and more vibrant communities by encouraging and building the necessary skills to implement Complete Streets throughout the South Florida region. The Broward MPO created this event in 2014 to bring policymakers, technical staff and interested parties to the table and start a conversation on taking completed streets projects from planning through implementation. The Summit expanded in 2017 to include the MPO's counterparts, Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) and Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency (TPA), to emphasize the importance of partnerships in creating a safe and accessible transportation system for all users region-wide.
Today, the Summit remains a collaborative effort between the Miami-Dade TPO, the Broward MPO and the Palm Beach TPA rotating from county to county; 2020 Summit hosted in Broward, 2021 in Palm Beach and 2022 in Miami-Dade. Visit SafeStreetsSummit.org to stay up to date.
