RELATING TO PASSENGER MOTOR CARRIER VEHICLES

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

Miami-Dade County Ordinance File Number 260868 amends Sections 31-102 and 31-107 of the Code of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The ordinance revises vehicle age requirements for certain passenger motor carrier vehicles (PMCs) used for circulator or fixed route services. Previously, PMCs generally had a 10-model-year limit, with a 15-model-year limit for circulator or fixed route services. This amendment allows vehicles used for 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 applicable County inspection requirements and vehicle standards. The City of Coral Gables adopted Resolution No. 2026-76 urging this change. The ordinance was adopted on first reading by the Board of County Commissioners on June 2, 2026, and was amended and forwarded with a favorable recommendation by the Transportation Committee on July 14, 2026. The effective date is ten days after enactment.
