TRANSIT DRAWDOWN ORDINANCE

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · ordinance

Miami-Dade County is authorizing the issuance of up to $350,000,000.00 in Transit System Sales Surtax Revenue Bonds. These bonds will be issued as drawdown bonds under a drawdown bond program to fund certain transportation and transit projects within the People's Transportation Plan (PTP) as detailed in Exhibit A. The ordinance was adopted on first reading on June 16, 2026, and a public hearing is scheduled for July 21, 2026. The funding mechanism is the 0.5 percent discretionary sales surtax. The issuance of these bonds is intended to provide a more efficient funding solution for the Multi-Year Capital Plan (MYCP) by allowing the County to borrow funds as needed, reducing costs and optimizing resource use. Details, terms, and specific projects will be determined in subsequent resolutions.
