AMEND DRIVER REQUIREMENTS UNDER AMBASSADOR CAB PROGRAM

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-09-01 · Ordinance

Ordinance amending Miami-Dade County Code sections 31-83 and 31-304 to revise temporary and permanent removal conditions for chauffeurs from the Ambassador Cab Program, revise eligibility requirements, and provide conditions for removed chauffeurs to regain eligibility to re-apply. Adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on 9/1/2026. The ordinance changes the threshold for ineligibility from more than two to more than three findings of certain violations in the preceding one-year period, changes removal to suspension for certain violations, and allows chauffeurs removed and deemed ineligible to re-apply after one year if they complete a training program. Public hearing held 7/13/2026; one speaker opposed, citing economic hardship from barring drivers from MIA and the seaport and alleging targeting of drivers who file complaints. No specific street address, parcel, acreage, or dollar amount is stated.
