The corridor will run on the existing South Dade Transitway, a linear, 20-mile busway between the southernmost Metrorail station near Dadeland Mall in the county’s unincorporated Kendall neighborhood and Homestead Station in the city’s downtown area. The funds will go toward drafting a master plan for transit-oriented developments - mixed-use, pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly construction projects intended to serve as employment, housing and commercial hubs - at or between the corridor’s five stations.Īnother $533,000 will go to Homestead to help finance transit-oriented developments around three rapid-bus stations along the South Corridor. The Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works will get $840,000 to advance development of the Northeast Corridor, a long-planned project intended to run on Florida East Coast Railway tracks between Miami and Aventura.

More than a tenth of the money is set aside for Florida’s most populous county.
