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 for regaining eligibility after removal. Key changes include increasing the allowable number of violations from two to three in the preceding year before ineligibility, changing 'removed' to 'suspended' for certain offenses, and specifying that chauffeurs permanently removed for failure to use established rates or refusal to transport a passenger can re-apply after one year if they complete a training program. The ordinance aims to improve driver retention.
