SFRTA's mission statement is; "To coordinate, develop and implement, in cooperation with all appropriate levels of government, private enterprise and citizens at-large in the community, a viable regional transportation system in South Florida that endeavors to meet the desires and needs for the movement of people, goods and services."[2]
In November 2011, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), through its TIGGER III Program, awarded $5.7 million to the SFRTA for its sustainable stations project. The project involves installation of solar panels at a station that will provide 100% of the station's energy, while sending excess energy to the main power grid and store daytime energy for lighting needs at night.[3]
