Exploring Transit Options to South Beach


February 12, 2019

If you were to try and take public transportation to South Beach from Miami, chances are it would likely take you twice as long get there than if you were to drive or use a ridesharing service. For years, there have been ideas about how to better improve the connection, as far back as 1988 in fact. However, nothing has come to fruition. That may all change soon.

The Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan is a study aimed at determining how to best link Miami Beach to its neighbor across the water, better known as the downtown Miami area. Countless ideas have been floating around such as a monorail system similar to what’s seen at Disney, high-wire pods, or even a light rail system which would be the first of its kind in Miami-Dade County. Another option that has been considered is expanding the MacArthur Causeway to make dedicated transit lanes. Expanding the existing Metromover has also been entertained as a possibility.

The SMART Plan’s recommendation is expected to be submitted by the fall where it will then be reviewed by Miami-Dade’s Transportation Planning Organization and either accepted or a different beach corridor transit mode will be chosen.
