Voters approved a 1 cent Transportation Sales Surtax in November 2018, called The Penny for Transportation.  

Projects have been underway around the county ever since, including within the City of Weston.  Weston has a total of 13 projects funded by the program to date, totaling over $25 million. 

The MAP Broward Annual Report, for Fiscal Year 2024 is now available for residents and business owners to see all that has been accomplished with your surtax dollars (MAP stands for Mobility Advancement Program).

Project types include but are not limited to road and bridge improvements, congestion management strategies, mobility innovations, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, transportation system studies, operations & maintenance of existing service and infrastructure, transit service enhancements, capital investments, and support services used to operationalize the Program.
