Background of SFCS

The South Florida Commuter Assistance Program was founded in 1988 to serve as a public information office during the I-95 expansion project, promoting alternatives to driving alone during the construction period. Commuter Services has evolved into a one-stop shop for commuter information as the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) regional commuter assistance program. The program is dedicated to improving traffic conditions by promoting alternatives to drive-alone commuting.

Commuter Services hosts a Call Center (1-800-234-RIDE) to answer commuter questions and provide rideshare information. The Center also gives transit route information and automatically transfers calls to mass transit systems throughout the coverage area, including Broward County Transit (BCT), Tri-Rail, Palm Beach Transit (Palm-Tran), Miami Dade Transit (MDT), Treasure Coast Connector, and Community Coach/Indiantown Shuttle/Stuart Shuttle.
