PTP AMENDMENT FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO DTPW

Transportation Cmte · 2026-07-14 · resolution

The document is a resolution approving an amendment to the FY 2026-30 Five-Year Implementation Plan of the People's Transportation Plan (PTP) to retroactively include the purchase of fifteen 40-foot buses for the I-95 Phase I and II project, funded in part by Charter County Transportation Surtax Funds. The project is identified as CIP145. The buses were previously used on routes 195/295 and 196/296, which were discontinued in March 2020. The fiscal impact is $3,896,702. The Transportation Committee forwarded the item to the Board of County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation following a public hearing on July 14, 2026. The Board agenda date is September 1, 2026. The applicant is the Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust, requested by Javier Betancourt, Executive Director. The file number is 261138. The decision is pending before the Board. The document does not state a specific street address, parcel, or acreage. The project involves the purchase of buses, not a construction project, so no zoning or use change is stated. The business opportunity is the retroactive inclusion of a capital project for the purchase of fifteen 40-foot diesel and compressed natural gas buses to support I-95 Express Bus Service routes between Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. The document states a public hearing was held, but does not state any specific public comment or stakeholder sentiment.
