Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Commissioners considered authorizing additional expenditure authority for the Bus Passenger Shelter Program. The program, managed by the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) and contracted with Outfront Media Group, LLC, aims to install 500 additional bus passenger shelters in the Unincorporated Municipal Service Area (UMSA). This expansion will increase sheltered stops in UMSA to approximately 89 percent. The total modified contract amount will be $54,944,885.00, with an additional $24,980,000.00 authorized. Funding will come from the People's Transportation Plan (PTP) Bond Program. The decision was amended, and key dates include an agenda date of 6/2/2026. Public comment included concerns from Senator Garcia regarding the vendor, contract terms, and revenue division, and discussions about advertising rules and shelter maintenance responsibilities. Commissioner Bermudez raised concerns about compliance with political advertising rules. Ms. Miller provided explanations on funding, revenue, and maintenance, and committed to providing further details on timelines and revenue figures.
