Aviation and Seaport Committee · 2026-07-13 · ordinance

Miami-Dade County is amending its ordinance regarding the Ambassador Cab Program. The changes revise provisions for the temporary and permanent removal of chauffeurs, update eligibility requirements, and establish conditions for regaining eligibility after removal. Specifically, the ordinance increases the allowable number of violations within a one-year period from two to three before a chauffeur is suspended, and it changes permanent removal for specific offenses (failure to use established rates or refusal to transport a passenger) to a suspension. Chauffeurs permanently removed under the old rules may regain eligibility after one year if they complete a training program. The ordinance aims to improve driver retention.
