Mobility is key to moving visitors around to explore more of Greater Miami. Promoting greater dispersal of visitors and their spending is important to regional economic growth throughout other parts of the destination. Better mobility also provides the local workforce more efficient access to jobs. There are high-level strategies underway to improve transportation throughout Greater Miami, including the comprehensive Miami-Dade SMART multi-modal mobility plan. The GMCVB’s partners are eager to understand how this long-range planning will impact their operations.
