On the Bus with Coree Cuff Lonergan: Building Broward’s $4B Transit Future

What does it take to launch a $4.3 billion, multi-modal transit expansion? For Coree Cuff Lonergan, CEO of Broward County Transit, it takes vision, momentum—and a bit of patience. This week on Transit Unplugged, host Paul Comfort hops aboard with Coree for a rolling bus interview through Broward County, Florida. They talk big-picture leadership, boots-on-the-ground transit planning, and why Broward’s “PREMO” program is setting a new standard for regional mobility. From LEED Gold-Certified transit centers to special-event service for international cricket matches, to AI-powered community engagement—this episode shows what happens when local government, smart investment, and public trust align for real impact. Plus: Coree reveals her most unexpected leadership tool… a cookbook. This episode covers: Broward’s $4.3 billion PREMO capital expansion program Adding three new modes of transit: commuter rail, BRT, and light rail The importance of workforce investment and operational facilities How AI and VR might transform the rider experience Why cooking helps her lead better Podcast Credits Transit Unplugged is brought to you by Modaxo Creator, Host, + Producer: Paul Comfort Executive Producer: Julie Gates Producer + Newsletter Editor: Chris O'Keeffe Associate Producer: Cyndi Raskin Special thanks to: Brand Design: Tina Olagundoye Social Media: Tatyana Mechkarova Got a question or comment?
