BUS SHELTER PROGRAM WITHIN THE UMSA

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, 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 with illumination systems and trash receptacles in the Unincorporated Municipal Service Area (UMSA). This expansion will increase sheltered UMSA bus stops from approximately 67% to 89%. The total modified contract amount will be $54,944,885.00, with an additional $24,980,000.00 authorized. Funding will come from the People's Transportation Plan (PTP) Bond Program. The decision was amended and forwarded to the County Commission. Public comment included concerns about vendor selection, funding sources, and advertising revenue sharing, as well as discussions on the scope of advertising allowed on shelters. The timeline for installation is multi-year.
