Transportation Cmte · 2026-07-14 · resolution

The document is a legislative item for a resolution approving an amendment to the FY 2026-30 Five-Year Implementation Plan of the People's Transportation Plan (PTP) to retroactively include the purchase of 40-foot buses for the I-95 Phase I and II project, funded in part by Charter County Transportation Surtax Funds. The project (CIP145) involves the purchase of fifteen (15) 40-foot diesel and compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses for I-95 Express Bus Service routes between Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. The fiscal impact is $3,896,702. The item was forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation following a public hearing. The buses were previously purchased with FDOT grant funds and placed into service in January 2017, but routes were discontinued in March 2020. FDOT requested reimbursement on September 9, 2024, and DTPW issued a reimbursement payment of $3,896,702 on January 12, 2026. The amendment is required to authorize the use of PTP capital funds to restore DTPW's operating fund resources.
