The document discusses the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan, which aims to advance six rapid transit corridors in Miami-Dade County. It outlines milestones such as resolutions passed in 2016 to make rapid transit the highest priority and endorse the SMART Plan. The plan would create over 90 miles of express bus network serving over 1.7 million residents. It faces challenges of gaining consensus and funding, but work is underway on projects like the East-West Corridor and expanding existing transit centers. Next steps include developing visions and transit-oriented communities for each corridor.
