PTP AMENDMENT FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO DTPW

Transportation Cmte · 2026-07-14 · resolution

Miami-Dade County is considering an amendment to the FY 2026-30 Five-Year Implementation Plan Update of the People's Transportation Plan (PTP). The amendment seeks to retroactively include the purchase of fifteen (15) 40-foot diesel and compressed natural gas (CNG) buses for the I-95 Phase I and II project. These buses were purchased in January 2017 for $3,896,702 using FDOT grant funds for I-95 Express Bus Service routes. The routes were discontinued in March 2020, and the buses were redeployed to other services, which was inconsistent with FDOT's requirements. FDOT requested reimbursement, and Miami-Dade County paid $3,896,702 to FDOT on January 12, 2026, from DTPW's Operating Fund. The PTP amendment is needed to authorize the use of PTP capital funds to restore DTPW's operating fund resources and ensure compliance with PTP funding eligibility. The project is monitored by the Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW).
