AMEND DRIVER REQUIREMENTS UNDER AMBASSADOR CAB PROGRAM

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

This ordinance amends Miami-Dade County Code Sections 31-83 and 31-304 concerning the Ambassador Cab Program. It revises provisions for the temporary and permanent removal of chauffeurs, modifies eligibility requirements, and outlines conditions under which removed chauffeurs can re-apply. Key changes include increasing the allowable number of moving violations in the preceding year from two to three before a chauffeur is deemed ineligible, and changing permanent removal to suspension for specific offenses like failure to use established rates or refusal to transport a passenger. Chauffeurs removed permanently for these offenses may regain eligibility after one year if they complete a training program. The ordinance aims to improve driver retention.
