The transportation board could accept that recommendation, or vote to overrule the administration and select extending Metrorail for South Dade. Miami-Dade is ready to conclude the South Dade SMART study by recommending rapid transit bus for that corridor. The SMART plan launched consultant studies of six major commuting routes, with the aim of analyzing which transit mode (Metrorail, light rail, rapid transit bus, even autonomous vehicles) made the most sense for each. That was the planning reset aimed at addressing more than a decade of broken promises on extending Metrorail - pledges made to voters in exchange for approving a half-percent transportation sales tax in 2012. If the Transportation Planning Organization, a 25-member board that includes all 13 county commissioners, takes on the South Dade issue, it would set up a milestone for the 2016 SMART Plan.
