PTP AMENDMENT FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO DTPW

Transportation Cmte · 2026-07-14 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering a resolution to amend the FY 2026-30 Five-Year Implementation Plan of the People's Transportation Plan (PTP). The amendment retroactively includes the purchase of fifteen (15) 40-foot diesel and compressed natural gas (CNG) buses for the I-95 Phase I and II project. These buses were purchased in January 2017 for $3,896,702 using FDOT grant funds but were later redeployed from I-95 Express Bus Service routes due to declining ridership and operator shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic. FDOT requested reimbursement for the depreciated value and unauthorized mileage, which DTPW paid on January 12, 2026, from its operating fund. The PTP amendment is required to authorize the use of PTP capital funds to restore DTPW's operating resources and ensure compliance with PTP funding eligibility. The project is funded in part by Charter County Transportation Surtax Funds and is included in the County's FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget and Multi-Year Capital Plan.
