King Tides are approaching, bringing the highest predictable astronomical tides of the year.

These events can contribute to “sunny day flooding” on low-lying roads, in coastal neighborhoods, and around drainage systems. Knowing when King Tides are expected can help you prepare and make safer travel decisions. The 2026 King Tide dates are:

🌊 Sept. 10–13
🌊 Sept. 26–Oct. 1
🌊 Oct. 7–13
🌊 Oct. 24–31
🌊 Nov. 5–11
🌊 Nov. 22–28
🌊 Dec. 24–25

A few ways to prepare is to move vehicles to higher ground when possible, secure low-lying doorways with sandbags or flood barriers, avoid driving or walking through standing tidal water, and check tide forecasts and road conditions before your commute.

If you encounter tidal flooding, your observations can help document conditions in our communities. Log the location and share photos through the Broward County Resiliency Dashboard here: https://bit.ly/DocumentTheFloodsBroward

🚐🔬 What happens when STEM learning meets transportation planning?

Through the Broward MPO’s partnership with the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS), the MODS STEMobile brings immersive, hands-on STEM experiences to students throughout the region.

The program helps young people move beyond simply learning concepts to becoming planners, engineers, and problem-solvers as they tackle real-world challenges. The STEMobile also incorporates Think Like a Planner and Complete Streets content into its programming, helping students explore how communities can be designed to be safer, more connected, and resilient.

The impact continues to grow. During Year 3, the STEMobile reached 44,458 students and youth through 392 programs, exceeding its 40,000-student goal. Programs have also shown strong results, with 92% of participating youth demonstrating increased STEM and problem-solving skills.

By connecting young learners with STEM, transportation, and community planning, we’re helping inspire the next generation of innovators who will shape how our communities move and grow.

Planning to hit the road this Labor Day? A little preparation can help make your trip safer and smoother.

During major holiday travel periods, FDOT typically suspends non-essential lane closures to help accommodate increased traffic. However, necessary closures, construction activities, and changing roadway conditions can still affect your trip.

Before heading out:

🚦 Check your route for current roadway conditions and closures.
📱 Use FL511 for real-time information on crashes, congestion, road closures, and other conditions.
🚧 Slow down in work zones and watch for workers, equipment, and changing traffic patterns.
👀 Stay alert and avoid distractions behind the wheel.
⏰ Give yourself extra time and follow posted speed limits and traffic signs.

Checking conditions before you leave can help you avoid unexpected delays and choose the best route.

Traveling this Labor Day weekend? Make safety part of your plans.

Whether you’re heading across town or taking a longer road trip, the Broward MPO encourages everyone to take extra care behind the wheel.

📵 Put your phone down and keep your focus on the road.
🚫 Never drive impaired and plan a sober ride if you’re drinking.
↔️ Leave extra space between you and the vehicle ahead.
🚶‍♀️ Stay alert for pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and other drivers.

Everyone has a role in making our roads safer. Before you head out this Labor Day weekend, make a plan to get there safely, and help others do the same.
