RELATING TO PASSENGER MOTOR CARRIER VEHICLES

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

This ordinance revises vehicle age requirements for passenger motor carrier vehicles (PMCs) in Miami-Dade County. Specifically, it amends sections 31-102 and 31-107 of the Code of Miami-Dade County. The change allows PMCs providing circulator or fixed route services to operate up to 20 model years of age or 350,000 miles, whichever comes first, provided they meet all inspection and vehicle standards. This change was prompted by a resolution from the City of Coral Gables urging the County to extend the age limit from the current general limit of 10 model years and a specific limit of 15 model years for circulator/fixed route services. The ordinance was adopted on first reading by the Board of County Commissioners and is scheduled for a public hearing before the Transportation Committee. The document notes that 4-6 weeks are required for processing.
