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
