FLORIDA KEYS TRANSPORTATION COORDINATION COMMITTEE MEETING TO BE HELD MAY 1

MARATHON, FL — The Florida Keys Transportation Coordination Committee will be hosting a hybrid meeting on Wednesday, May 1 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Marathon Government Center and via Zoom technology. The agenda will include a chair introduction by County Commissioner David Rice, an update on the status of prioritized projects currently provided to the Florida Department of Transportation by Transit Director Richard Clark, and a public question and commenting section.

The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners created the committee in 2019 to research traffic issues and create formal recommendations for the governing bodies of the five municipalities and the county commissioners.

The committee is made up of six officials, one from each municipality and one from the BOCC. State and regional transportation officials and city and county staff work with the committee to help make recommendations and answer questions. The committee will discuss enhancing public transportation, increasing intercounty trips for added convenience, promoting services to out-of-town visitors, and other ideas to be considered.

Committee members include David Rice, Monroe County; Mary Lou Hoover, Key West; Brian Shea, Marathon; Tom Harding, Key Colony Beach; Bruce Halle, Layton; and Buddy Pinder, Islamorada.
