Priscilla Taylor, District 7 Commissioner
On July 13, 2009, Priscilla Taylor was sworn into office by the Honorable Catherine M. Brunson at a ceremony in the Jane M. Thompson Memorial Chambers located in the Governmental Center in West Palm Beach. Commissioner Taylor was recently appointed by Governor Charlie Crist and will serve as commissioner for District 7.
Getting Serious About Mass Transit
By Commissioner Jeff Koons
The tight economic times have forced all of us to look closely at our day-to-day spending and make some changes. One change I urge all of you to consider is to use public transportation. Not only is it less expensive and better for the environment than driving your own vehicle, Palm Beach County has initiated some major improvements to make riding the bus or train a more convenient and comfortable experience.
In May, the long-awaited Intermodal Transportation Center opened in downtown West Palm Beach, and what a difference it’s making. This project has been in the works since 1992 when the county bought the six-acre site along Clearwater Drive. Thanks to a multiagency partnership, the new $5 million facility is the centerpiece of a plan to redevelop the west-central downtown area as a transit-oriented village. Locating Palm Tran’s main service hub alongside the Tri-Rail/Amtrak platform makes for a seamless connection to the regional commuter train system.
The new center has parking spaces for 18 buses, seven covered shelters with lighting and benches, new restrooms and water fountains, and an easy to use "kiss-and-drop" area. At the north end, the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority will soon open a park-and-ride lot for Tri-Rail passengers. In the fall, a new automated vehicle location system should be online, and electronic signs will provide real-time information on when the next bus arrives.
Palm Tran buses are now running every 15 to 20 minutes during peak weekday hours along Route 1, the busiest route, and service has been accelerated along several other redrawn routes. For example, Route 43 is now a direct east-west run along Okeechobee Boulevard with the elimination of a 20-minute detour on Palm Beach Lakes. Buses run to and from the depot 17 hours a day Monday through Friday, 15 hours on Saturdays, and approximately nine hours on Sundays.
It’s hard to say whether bus ridership has increased since the new intermodal center opened -- summer months tend to be slower -- but the feedback has been very positive, and there is no question it is a vast improvement over the crowded, rickety shelters Palm Tran used to call a hub on Quadrille Boulevard.
To further boost ridership, the Board of County Commissioners recently approved spending $700,000 for a new park-and-ride lot at the Mall at Wellington Green, expected to open in November. We have received $18 million in federal grants to build a public transit facility and park-and-ride lot in Belle Glade. The monies will also pay for new fuel-efficient vehicles and much-needed shop and computer equipment.
I’m very excited about Palm Tran’s first-ever Palm Beach/Martin County Commuter Express Route slated to begin service in late-August. It will provide weekday service from Halpatiokee Regional Park in Stuart to the West Palm Beach intermodal center, with only two stops along the way: at the West Jupiter Recreation Center in Jupiter and The Gardens mall in Palm Beach Gardens.
Of course, in order for public transportation to work for everyone, other commuter modes, such as Tri-Rail, need financial support, too. Unfortunately, our state lawmakers once again failed to approve a dedicated funding source for Tri-Rail, leaving its future in doubt. I find this puzzling and frustrating because the commuter rail system has not only doubled its ridership since 2005, it is breaking national ridership records. A recent passenger survey showed that 84 percent of Tri-Rail riders were licensed drivers, dispelling the notion that people simply weren’t willing to give up their cars to get to work. Clearly, the demand is there, and as chairman of the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority Governing Board, which oversees Tri-Rail operations, I am going to continue hammering on the need for a dedicated funding source to keep Tri-Rail rolling.
The SFRTA is considering a number of system improvements that would greatly benefit Palm Beach County, including:
extending service north to Jupiter
a new Tri-Rail station at PBIA
a new Tri-Rail station near the Town Center Mall in Boca Raton
parking and circulation improvements at the Mangonia Park, Lake Worth, Delray Beach and Boca Raton stations
But again, these improvements won’t happen without a dedicated funding source. Whether it’s a small surcharge on rental cars, some type of highway toll or a special sales tax – all of which have been used successfully elsewhere – we must get state officials on board with our local commitment to public transportation. As always, I welcome your comments and questions. Please feel free to contact me or my staff at 355-2202.

Then on Saturday, July 11, beginning at 9 a.m., the clinic will be open to general youth beach goers to register to participate, with an opportunity to experience a free surfing lesson with Helm. Participation will be open to the first 25 children, ages 8 -15. Parent permission is required.
In addition to the clinic, BP will be onsite to give away fun prizes, and provide consumers the chance to earn a $10 BP gift card. Helm will also be available throughout the day for autograph sessions and to chat with individuals about how he runs younger for longer®.
Native Surf School was founded by Helm of Jupiter Beach, Florida. In his second year as a spokesman for BP, Helm has been commissioned to help the company promote BP gasoline with Invigorate®, a gasoline that with continuous use, helps clean and protect a car’s vital engine parts, helping it run younger for longer. As an ageless professional surfer and strong fitness advocate, Helm epitomizes this message, as he strives to run younger for longer through surfing professionally and teaching kids the sport he loves.
This year, Helm is also working to help encourage Americans to run younger for longer in their own lives as well, by helping to promote the BP Younger for Longer Challenge, a nationwide contest that asks Americans to visit bpinvigorate.com and tell how they personify this message. The top-20 entrants will receive a first place prize of BP gas for a year, valued at more than $2,000 (gas for a year is awarded as $2,080 in BP gift cards), with one grand prize winner being awarded $10,000 in BP gasoline and more.
