Program for Empowering People

Speak Up Broward’s Program for Empowering People (PEP) is an effort designed to have community based organizations work with the MPO as outreach partners. The selected partner organizations designed and conducted community outreach tailored to their specific audiences to spark the transportation conversation in Broward, and obtained input about the future of our transportation system and how to fund it. The program culminated in the fall of 2014 with each organization providing a comprehensive report of community feedback gathered throughout the process.
