SoFloGO brings together four major transit systems—Tri-Rail, BCT, Palm Tran, and DTPW’s Metrorail, Metrobus, and Metromover services—into one intuitive platform. The app offers multimodal trip planning, real-time arrival updates, live directions, mobile ticketing, and service alerts, creating a unified travel experience across county lines.

The app’s user-friendly features include deboarding alerts and step-by-step guidance for entire journeys, making it easier than ever to navigate South Florida’s diverse transportation network. With an inclusive design, the app also prioritizes accessibility, offering screen reader compatibility, step-free route options, and optimized navigation for riders with mobility challenges.

Meeting the Region’s Growing Transit Needs

As South Florida’s population and visitor numbers continue to rise, the demand for efficient, interconnected transit solutions has become critical. SoFloGO addresses these needs by consolidating transit options into one cohesive app, providing riders with a reliable and efficient way to navigate Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.

“We are thrilled to introduce the SoFloGO app, a dream come true for South Florida public transportation,” said David Dech, SFRTA Executive Director. “Every day, people use our transit services to cross city and county lines interchangeably. This app integrates all the services they need in one place, making regional travel more convenient than ever before.”

“SoFloGo is a game-changer for public transit in South Florida, and especially for the residents of Broward County, bringing together multiple transportation systems into one seamless experience,” said Coree Cuff Lonergan, CEO/General Manager of Broward County Transit. “For the first time, our riders have a single, seamless way to plan trips and pay fares across county lines. This collaboration represents a major step forward in making transit more accessible, efficient, and user-friendly.”

“Whenever we can leverage innovative technologies to make public transportation easier and more appealing, everybody wins,” said DTPW Director Stacy Miller. “This is an important step forward that our partners at the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority are taking to enhance our customers’ experience.”
 
“Palm Tran is looking forward to the launch of the SoFLoGo app,” said Palm Tran Executive Director Ivan Maldonado. “It’s a great tool that will help connect riders to the different transportation services throughout South Florida.”
