On July 21, Stet News reported that Palm Beach County has launched a $1 million, year-long Countywide Transportation Master Plan aimed at tackling increasing traffic from rapid growth and exploring expanded public transit options, including buses and the Tri-Rail Coastal Link. The study aims to prioritize projects and build support for a potential 2026 sales tax referendum to fund transportation improvements. Planners will analyze data, gather community input, and set priorities, with concerns already raised about preserving rural roadways. Major road projects like turnpike and I-95 expansions are also underway.
