Urban Partnership Agreement

The metro areas of Miami, Florida, Minneapolis, Minnesota, San Francisco, California, and Seattle, Washington are participants.

In Miami, the primary UPA project is the "95 Express" program, which added high-occupancy toll lanes to Interstate 95 that can be used by registered carpools, hybrid cars, and buses, in addition to toll-paying customers using SunPass.

"NexTrip" real-time LED message signs indicating bus arrival times are also installed at each gate.

The UPA program in Seattle also involved hybrid buses and real-time arrival signage at bus stops as well as improved park-and-ride facilities.

That system was also funded, including improvements to the terminals at Mukilteo and Guemes Island, as well as investments in high-speed, ultra-low wake ferries.
