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 outline conditions under which removed chauffeurs can regain eligibility. Specifically, the ordinance increases the allowable number of violations in the preceding year from two to three before a chauffeur is deemed ineligible, changes permanent removal to a suspension for failure to use established rates or refusal to transport a passenger, and allows chauffeurs permanently removed under specific conditions to reapply after one year if they complete a training program. The ordinance passed first reading on June 2, 2026, was forwarded with a favorable recommendation as corrected by the Aviation and Seaport Committee on July 13, 2026, and is pending BCC assignment.
