Sponsors described the proposal as a way to capture weekend and event-related trips that private providers currently dominate and to offer an affordable, predictable alternative to expensive ride-hailing fares. A commissioner said similar approaches are being tried elsewhere and emphasized that any pricing changes would return to the board for approval. “Any sort of change in the pricing comes back to this board,” one commissioner said.

Committee members repeatedly raised concerns about protecting regular weekday riders, students and employees from potential price increases. County staff responded that most everyday riders use weekly or monthly passes and that those pass products could be insulated from dynamic fares. A county staff member said, \"This is not to get more money out of our current ridership. It's to offer folks who otherwise would be spending $40, $50, $60 to park at the stadium or take an Uber to have a less expensive public option.\" The item also contemplates pilot efforts tied to major events such as the World Cup and Art Basel so staff can assess operational impacts.

Commissioner Bastian moved the item; Commissioner Regalado seconded, and the committee adopted it by voice vote. Staff said the department already plans to test some ideas around World Cup activity and will report results to the commission.

The committee's action sends staff work products and pilot proposals back for future board consideration, with specific pricing and protections to be developed and returned to the Board of County Commissioners for approval before implementation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Miami-Dade County - Transportation Committee","oneSentenceSummary","The committee approved an item directing staff to explore dynamic pricing and expanded service options for major events such as the World Cup and Art Basel, with commissioners stressing protection for everyday riders.","taxTitle","Miami-Dade County, Florida","taxId",2864,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6475171,"Committee amends district lighting item to limit funding to district dollars; item approved",98,2141000,2239000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5737316-b624247c117bb82b614346cbc44a90e2&start=2141&end=2239","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5737316-b624247c117bb82b614346cbc44a90e2/thumbnail_2141000.jpg","/articles/6475171/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Committee-amends-district-lighting-item-to-limit-funding-to-district-dollars-item-approved","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475171-db6c6ad85524a91274b21c5e214ae709/orig.mp4?Expires=1770430700&Signature=YdELIXIGhnfey1zLhu4Zt~FraX-f2~xOBLiwEZB6M9MEb2vaBne3mwq9XPMLtYJHxgkbWV-Tdgv2ZOGZm4IO7kOLnUXZ-W3g9AjyC9syB-gY9EIsl1EehVNrmbxyTLYOvKCqVK98neleQb66JJK5wWwIT1C0wF-vSsp6UKiVa33j4cYgLwDWz7xav4bZuctrmVsDL0aIhO-u-COHWmJr~YASJVUCbgIqsXsaQV8qtIcF7A5oB12n4q384S9Aa7cZAhNVt9flW4BlB97SO90XKXZnYN29mAAFz7vjH-DZ0yHzq30sr-tjaM8EFvCPeHRIAiBwpQjhjMP9W3HxlgTWgw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Committee members amended and approved an item relating to adding lighting at county underpasses after removing language that would have authorized countywide budget sweeps if district funds proved insufficient.

A commissioner raised concern about the original language, which would have required staff to \"identify additional legally available funds to fund the project to the extent the district funds are insufficient.\" The commissioner said the board had been trying to limit routine requests to pull money from the county budget and preferred that, if district funding proved insufficient, staff return to the commission for direction. The transcript records the speaker saying, \"I just don't feel comfortable with the find it in the budget.\"

Staff and the clerk's office confirmed that the item belonged to Commissioner Garcia; staff indicated they had approval from Garcia's office to modify the item. The proposed amendment struck the clause authorizing identification of additional county funds and limited the item to the district funds identified in the motion.

The amended item was moved and seconded and adopted by voice vote. After the vote a commissioner said, \"I am glad that that's moving forward because ... these dark underpasses are sketch, and we need them dealt with.\" The committee directed staff to proceed under the revised funding language and to return to the board if additional funding decisions are needed.

The committee’s action will appear on the full Board of County Commissioners agenda with the amendment limiting the project to district funds unless the board later directs otherwise.","The committee amended an item addressing lighting of underpasses to remove a countywide \"find it in the budget\" clause and approved the measure as modified, with commissioners saying dark underpasses are safety hazards.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6475176,"Committee approves measures letting municipalities seek 20–25 mph limits where state law allows",378,1734000,2112000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5737316-b624247c117bb82b614346cbc44a90e2&start=1734&end=2112","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5737316-b624247c117bb82b614346cbc44a90e2/thumbnail_1734000.jpg","/articles/6475176/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Committee-approves-measures-letting-municipalities-seek-2025-mph-limits-where-state-law-allows","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475176-42309195a1810c92da96bc1ca5bbdd34/orig.mp4?Expires=1770430700&Signature=Tsr6SI9cn8UxFvj59udOQMuTRx267wyKNnChRTTM2Dd-mk8NZHtS5XnFwY0n-Yr9v40nIB3FZ8PoyscHVeefPR34~ZURBPgqe51D-WkczN-~9M6WpvOuwEBz2SGLAcAOUS0Si3dVbOPMQ9iTeEPnXke3Dw6-vPbjrljBtDzOBHGYi1WWnb0gX2tTSIsNtKzyqOL5hmp5-pEwGciIDPxu6imXAlrWUoBMhb~RhAGY6OPe~ZsJzpNzmSLjYI9j-MCEop8SQNUCFq6FGujO2t5tbM9giz4yYGRrKY~4iuos33YEiTqeJhz~wlaKGoegxj11QKAUjoViuWed217SyvnxWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Miami-Dade County Transportation, Planning and Mobility Committee on a voice vote approved two companion items that give municipalities a pathway to seek local 20- or 25-mph speed limits and other traffic-calming measures, subject to applicable state law and required field studies.

Committee members said the changes are intended to provide local officials more flexibility to respond to neighborhood concerns about safety and to add “tools in the toolbox” such as speed tables and other traffic-calming devices. Commissioner Steinberg, who presented one of the items, said, “This is not something we are doing automatically. This is only giving the ability to… giving us just more tools in the toolbox to try to address the needs of the communities that came out.”

The items — numbered on the committee agenda as 2b and 2e — were discussed together. Vice Chairwoman Regalado said neighborhood associations and residents have been calling commission offices with requests for traffic calming and that the demand is often concentrated around schools, parks and libraries. “I can list off five different groups in UMSSA that want this,” Regalado said, urging that the measure not be overburdened with parameters that would slow implementation.

County staff said a formal memo describing the field-assessment process, required studies and sign‑replacement costs is nearly complete and will be provided before full-board consideration. Staff and commissioners emphasized that any municipal action must comply with state law; “If the state requires us to do a study, we gotta do a study,” one commissioner said during debate.

The committee adopted the items by voice vote after a motion to consider 2b and 2e together. Commissioners indicated the intention that the county and municipalities coordinate implementation and that staff avoid duplicative work when other internal directives or memos address the same topics.

The items now move to the full Board of County Commissioners for final approval and any technical revisions described by staff.","Miami-Dade County Transportation, Planning and Mobility Committee approved two items that give municipalities a mechanism to pursue lower speed limits and traffic calming where state law and required studies permit.","actionData","errors"]
