Commission approves expanded mass transit Celebrating 25 years of service this year, BCT marks the first expansion in county bus service in over fifteen years. The improved service was made possible through funding opportunities at the federal level and the Broward County Commission's commitment to improving mass transit and relieving traffic congestion. The following month, the County Commission authorized an additional penny in local option gas tax beginning January 1, 2000. Broward County Transit marks the first expansion in county bus service in over fifteen years.
Commission approves new penny gas tax dedicated solely to mass transit.
The extra penny will bring many improvements to our mass transit system. Route 14, on Powerline Road, will be extended to Hillsboro Boulevard and continue west to US 441. You can also look forward to much needed late night and Saturday service on many routes. The boundaries for the north area are Hillsboro Boulevard on the north, Atlantic Boulevard on the south, west to the Florida Turnpike and east to Federal Highway. Persons living within the specified boundaries will be able to call for service, primarily to job opportunites.
