RELATING TO PASSENGER MOTOR CARRIER VEHICLES

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

Miami-Dade County is amending its code regarding passenger motor carrier vehicles (PMCs). The ordinance revises vehicle age requirements, specifically allowing PMCs used for circulator or fixed route services to operate up to 20 model years of age or 350,000 miles, whichever comes first. 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 also involves technical and conforming changes to definitions and vehicle standards. The Transportation Committee forwarded the ordinance with amendments and a favorable recommendation following a public hearing. The Board of County Commissioners adopted the ordinance on first reading.
