Speaker: Paul Calvaresi
Topic: Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
Paul Calvaresi is the Intergovernmental Manager at the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization, where he brings extensive experience in transportation planning and local governmental services back to South Florida after time spent working in Seattle. He earned his Bachelor of Business Administration at the University of Florida and holds a Master of Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) from Florida Atlantic University.
At the MPO, Paul plays a central role in the agency's public engagement efforts through Speak Up Broward, which works to ensure the transportation planning and funding decisions made by the MPO reflect the community's priorities. His work spans everything from university outreach and career-readiness partnerships with local colleges to community education programs that connect residents with the transportation decision-making process.
Paul is a familiar face at community events across Broward County, known for translating complex transportation policy into accessible conversation — making him well-suited to walk the club through what the Broward MPO does and how it shapes local mobility, growth, and infrastructure planning for the region's 1.9+ million residents.
