Aviation and Seaport Committee · 2026-07-13 · ordinance

Miami-Dade County is amending its ordinance regarding the Ambassador Cab Program. The changes revise provisions for the temporary and permanent removal of chauffeurs, update eligibility requirements, and establish conditions for regaining eligibility after removal. Specifically, the ordinance increases the allowable number of violations in the preceding year from two to three before a chauffeur is deemed ineligible. It also changes permanent removal to a suspension for certain offenses like failure to use established rates or refusal to transport a passenger. Chauffeurs permanently removed under the old rules may reapply after one year if they complete a training program. The ordinance aims to improve driver retention.
