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

Miami-Dade County Commission considered a resolution authorizing additional expenditure authority for the Bus Passenger Shelter Program. The program aims to install 500 additional bus passenger shelters with illumination systems and trash receptacles within the Unincorporated Municipal Service Area (UMSA). This initiative is part of a multi-year effort to modernize bus stop infrastructure, improve rider comfort, and enhance safety. The total modified amount for Contract No. RFP-01071, with vendor Outfront Media Group, LLC, is $54,944,885.00, an increase of $24,980,000.00. Funding will come from the People's Transportation Plan (PTP) Bond Program. The resolution was amended and forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation from the Transportation Committee. Public comment included concerns about the vendor, contract terms, and advertising revenue, as well as discussions on the County's advertising rules and the timeline for shelter installation.
