3191 CORAL WAY, SUITE 607 • MIAMI, FLORIDA 33145 TEL: (305) 372-1234 • FAX: (305) 372-8565 www.wraggcasas.com April 25, 2024 The Honorable Joseph M. Corradino Mayor Village of Pinecrest 12645 Pinecrest Parkway Pinecrest, FL 33156 Dear Mayor Corradino: On behalf of members of The Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust (CITT) and Executive Director Javier Betancourt, we are requesting the opportunity to update your officials and citizens on the Trust's efforts to advance the People's Transportation Plan (PTP). The PTP funds municipal projects in the Village of Pinecrest and throughout Miami-Dade County, along with county transit projects, such as the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan that will bring transit to all areas of the county. Many proposed projects, such as the SMART Plan corridors, directly or indirectly affect most of our municipalities, and your participation in the development and implementation of the PTP and SMART Plan is crucial to their success. We are requesting that your municipality allocate time at an upcoming Council meeting for the Trust to provide a brief presentation on the status of the PTP and SMART Plan. We continue to focus on the technology, funding partnerships, project delivery systems, firstIlast-mile solutions and an effective municipal and county partnership. Municipal participation is vital to the success of these plans, and it is imperative that our municipal partners be included in the decision-making process to assure a successful transportation and transit program. We would also appreciate knowing of any civic or business groups of importance to your constituents that we should approach for a similar presentation. Please contact our office to schedule a date for the Trust to give this presentation. The Trust looks forward to updating your citizens and officials on the exciting plans currently in progress to address the mobility issues facing our community. Sincerely, Ray Casas President Wragg & Casas
