The additional allocation includes $1,247,500 for DTPW and $653,890 for PIOD. DTPW's need is tied to expanded transit operations including the South Corridor TransitWay and the planned November 2026 opening of the South Dade Transit Operations Center (SDTOC), which will house 100 articulated electric buses. PIOD's need is due to a 16% average annual increase in tows and a 29% increase in per-tow prices since 2022.
