TIME:      6:00 P.M. Information and exhibits
     7:00 P.M. Presentation and Q&A

WHY:      The Intermodal Center will provide a regional transportation hub to connect transit users to the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and the Port Everglades (Seaport). The People Mover will offer a high capacity system to provide efficient access to FLL, to the Seaport and between FLL and the Seaport for regional users, employees and air/sea patrons.  The goal is to alleviate road congestion on the limited access roads between the two facilities and facilitate the need for efficient freight, cargo and petroleum movement out of the regionally significant port.

Members of the project consulting team and Broward County Port Everglades and Aviation Department staff will share project information and answer questions regarding the project.
