The Transportation Management Association (TMA) operates six different Sun Trolley routes throughout eastern Fort Lauderdale including routes to/between the Airport, Downtown, Beaches, Las Olas Boulevard corridor, and Galleria/Sunrise Blvd in addition to a water trolley route along the New River in Downtown. The TMA is a non-profit organization with Board representation and funding participation by the County, the City, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (Broward MPO), the South Florida Transit Authority (SFRTA) operators of Tri-Rail, and the Fort Lauderdale Downtown Development Authority.

The TMA has struggled to provide frequent, reliable service without having a sustainable operating revenue stream and over the years has had to reduce service translating to reduced ridership and performance. In 2018, the TMA Board of Directors decided to evaluate all existing routes with the goal of consolidating to fewer more effective routes with reliable and consistent headways. Following the passage of the penny transportation surtax in November, much needed operating funding will be allocated to the Sun Trolley service in the coming year.

The City has been implementing designated rideshare and loading/unloading zones in strategic areas around DowntownFTL, such as in entertainment districts and along commercial corridors. Due to the increased use of rideshare, the allocation of curb space is being re-evaluated nationwide. By designating zones on side streets for these uses, traffic congestion on primary streets is reduced and the visual impact of these activities is hidden from primary view.

Following the cancellation of the Wave Streetcar, the Broward MPO evaluated an alternative north/south mobility option for downtown by utilizing Andrews and 3rd Avenues as one-way pairs. A one-way pair concept would change the current lane configuration of each street- one street would operate in one direction (south) and the other street would operate in the other direction (north), increasing capacity for vehicles while freeing up right-of-way to use for other modes of travel such as dedicated bus or rail lanes, wider sidewalks, and dedicated bike/scooter lanes.

Still in concept phase, the Andrews/3rd Avenue One-Way Pairs idea was presented by the Broward MPO to the City of Fort Lauderdale and the Fort Lauderdale DDA in late 2018, both supporting studying the concept further through a formal feasibility study. Next stop is for the Broward MPO to present to Broward County as the owners of Andrews and 3rd Avenues. Once approved by the County, funding will need to be secured to complete the feasibility study.

Tri-Rail Coastal Link is a project planned for the FEC railway that will have multiple stops between the Treasure Coast to Miami-Dade County filling the critical need for an alternative to driving for the everyday commuter. One of the major hurdles is major investment that is required to traverse the New River in DowntownFTL. This could include building an iconic rail bridge over the waterway or building a tunnel under the waterway, both of which will require major capital and political support.
