Wave Streetcar Capital Investment Program Project Profiles: FY 2017
The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA), in partnership with the Fort Lauderdale Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and Broward County Transit, is proposing to construct a modern streetcar in downtown Fort Lauderdale between Northwest 6th Street and Southeast 17th Street. SFRTA is managing design and construction, while Broward County Transit will own and operate the streetcar line. The project includes the purchase of five modern streetcar vehicles and construction of a maintenance facility, and will operate in mixed traffic along existing roadways using transit signal priority. Service will operate every 10 to 12 minutes on weekdays and every 15 minutes during weekday evenings and weekends.
