BUS SHELTER PROGRAM WITHIN THE UMSA

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

Miami-Dade County Commissioners considered authorizing additional expenditure authority for the Bus Passenger Shelter Program. The program, managed by the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) and contracted with Outfront Media Group, LLC, aims to install 500 additional bus passenger shelters in the Unincorporated Municipal Service Area (UMSA). This expansion will increase sheltered stops in UMSA to approximately 89 percent. The project is funded through the People's Transportation Plan (PTP) Bond Program. During the Transportation Committee meeting, concerns were raised by Senator Garcia regarding the vendor, Outfront Media Group, LLC, and the use of County funds, advertising revenue division, and contract specifics. Ms. Miller provided clarifications on the funding and revenue sharing. Chairman Gilbert III and Commissioner Bermudez discussed shelter maintenance and advertising content rules, respectively. Commissioner Bastien inquired about the installation timeline, with Ms. Miller committing to provide a detailed schedule. The item was ultimately amended and forwarded for further review.
