Please join me and a distinguished panel of transportation leaders as we discuss the future of transit in Miami-Dade County. We will discuss how each of the panelists participates in forming policy, how they see Miami-Dade developing a more balanced transportation network, and how their policies are addressing the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
On the Panel is Alice Bravo, Director of Transportation Development at FDOT; Commissioner, Carlos Gimenez; Harpal Kapoor, Director of Miami-Dade County Transit and Javier Rodriguez, Director of Miami-Dade Expressway Authority.

Bravo and Rodiguez (who cut his teeth at FDOT) are paid shills for Miami-Dade County. While I think Kapoor at least fights for what he thinks is right, Bravo and Rodruguez will throw their mother under the bus for promotion. Bravo lied through her teeth at the Krome Avenue trial; Rodriguez never took the stand probably because he knew too much. These transportation "lifers" will never admit wrongdoing nor will they act in the best interest of the people. They are as bad as the politicians. What comes out of the transportation meetings will be exactly what the commissioners want.
Sorry guys, but the event is by RSVP only and has reached its max capacity. Hopefully, we can have another one of these discussions soon. I'll keep you posted.
That sucks? Who is attending? All the evil-doers in Miami? I would like to see who signed up.
We've got a pretty good mix of people. Transit Miami readers, planners, transportation engineers, (both from the private sector and from the County), and a bunch of 'normal' folks who don't know much about transit. Should be a really good discussion. Unfortunately, the event is being held in dining room with limited seating (which is why the necessity for RSVP). We are not trying to keep 'non-evil-doers' out, just concerned about capacity. If all goes well, we could schedule another discussion with larger capacity in the near future. Maybe an Eye on Miami/Transit Miami sponsored discussion with the non-reformable majority?? I would love to ask them a few questions!
