I am a working electrician and I don’t have the freedom to free myself from my truck. But for working people, the connectivity from their homes to main transit hubs is the main barrier.

1. Rail, rail and rail

2. Synchronization of our traffic lights to a smart system.

3. Advocate for lower tolls/remove tools

4. Cable cars, which have been used in San Francisco for over 100 years

5. Include ordinances that requires a level of connectivity from municipality trolleys to the county’s
public transit system.

1. Buffer zones for sidewalks

2. Add bicycle lanes in areas that only have the space to add bicycle lanes

Connectivity and more connectivity

​Elected leaders get elected to make priority decisions and transit infrastructure like rail will be my top priorities. Budgets define a politician's values and values present what they care about.

Would you change the transportation governance structure, and if so, how? ​There are many moving parts to Miami-Dade County’s transportation governance and funding but leaders lead on issues. My vision to this fractured governance and funding is simple: Lead on the issues and foster an intergovernmental relationship with all the stakeholders. That’s the only effective way to tackle this governance structure.

There is not enough paper and ink to tackle the wrong, missed or mismanagement of transit policies in Miami-Dade County but there is a success.

The wrong decisions:

• Miami-Dade county was delirect in not applying for the available federal dollars to replace the bus fleet twice in the last two decades

• Miami-Dade county was delirect in not applying for the available federal dollars to replace the metrorail care twice in the last two decades

• The 1⁄2 penny tax mismanagement of $3 billion is the most egregious government failure in the history of Miami-Dade county.

The right decisions:

• Extending metrorail to Miami International Airport.

​I will incorporate equity like I always have: By modeling it in my hiring practices.

This one the most pressing issue in our fractured transportation system. Amend the ordinance to require a level of connectivity from municipal transit services to countywide services.
