Miami-Dade 2040 LRTP - Oct. 23, 2014

The Transportation Planning Boundaries for the Miami-Dade MPO, as depicted in this map, overlap with the Miami-Dade County Boundaries. Both the Metropolitan Planning Boundary and the Study Area Boundary coincide with the administrative boundaries for Miami-Dade County. Miami-Dade County encompasses more than 2,000 square miles of land but only over 430 square miles of urban development, cradled between two national parks: Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park. Everglades National Park land is protected land for which the MPO has no jurisdiction. However, all planning on federal land is coordinated with the MPO and the appropriate agencies and jurisdictions. For practical purposes of administering transportation programs and studies, the MPO divided the urban development area of Miami- Dade County into six distinct geographic units identified as Transportation Planning Areas (see more details on Page 1-2 and Figure 1-1 on Page 1-3).
