RELATING TO PASSENGER MOTOR CARRIER VEHICLES

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

This ordinance revises vehicle age requirements for passenger motor carrier vehicles (PMCs) in Miami-Dade County. Specifically, it amends sections 31-102 and 31-107 of the Code of Miami-Dade County. The key change allows PMCs providing circulator or fixed route services to operate up to 20 model years of age or 350,000 miles, whichever comes first, provided they remain in compliance with all inspection requirements. This change was prompted by a resolution from the City of Coral Gables urging the County to amend the existing 10 model year limit (or 15 for circulator/fixed route). The ordinance passed its first reading and was forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation after a public hearing. The estimated time for implementation is 4-6 weeks.
