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 in the Ambassador Cab Program, revise eligibility requirements, and provide conditions for removed chauffeurs to regain eligibility to re-apply. Adopted on final action on 9/1/2026. Public hearing held 7/13/2026 where one speaker opposed the item, citing that drivers could not make a living if barred from MIA and the seaport, that two citations could result in removal from both, and that drivers who filed complaints were targeted for additional citations. Another speaker urged residents and public officials to press Congress to reduce tariffs imposed in 2025, which he characterized as causing economic and financial harm. No project site, address, parcel, acreage, or dollar amount is stated.
