PTP AMENDMENT FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO DTPW

Transportation Cmte · 2026-07-14 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering a resolution to approve an amendment to the FY 2026-30 Five-Year Implementation Plan Update of the People's Transportation Plan (PTP). This amendment retroactively includes the purchase of fifteen (15) 40-foot diesel and compressed natural gas (CNG) buses for the I-95 Phase I and II Project (CIP145). These buses were purchased in January 2017 for I-95 Express Bus Service routes connecting Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, funded in part by Charter County Transportation Surtax Funds and FDOT grants. The routes were discontinued in March 2020. Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) reimbursed FDOT $3,896,702 on January 12, 2026, for the depreciated value and unauthorized mileage. The amendment is required to authorize the use of PTP capital funds to restore DTPW's operating fund. The Transportation Committee forwarded the item to the Board with a favorable recommendation following a public hearing.
