This is a legislative matter, not a construction project. It is an ordinance to regulate the operation of personal delivery devices and mobile carriers in the incorporated and unincorporated areas of Miami-Dade County. The ordinance creates Chapter 31, Article VIII of the Code of Miami-Dade County, Florida, and amends Section 8CC-10. It was introduced on 7/13/2026, adopted on first reading by the Board of County Commissioners on 7/21/2026, and set for a public hearing before the Transportation Committee on 9/9/2026. The prime sponsor is Micky Steinberg. The ordinance requires a permit from the Department of Transportation and Public Works, sets speed limits (10 mph on sidewalks, 6 mph in high-pedestrian areas, 5 mph in crosswalks), requires specific equipment (lights, reflectors, audible alert, braking, obstacle detection, geofencing), and establishes civil penalties ($500 for no permit or no insurance, $250 first offense and $500 for subsequent offenses for other violations).
