West Miami approves interlocal agreement to access Miami-Dade on-demand transit funds

The City Commission of West Miami on Oct. 1 approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute, retroactive to Sept. 22, 2025, an interlocal agreement with Miami-Dade County to receive on-demand transit services funded by the County's CITT half-penny sales tax program. The vote was 4-0.

Why it matters: The interlocal agreement enables West Miami to participate in county-administered transportation services funded through the County Infrastructure Trust (CITT) half-penny sales tax; it does not, the manager said, bind the city to a specific vendor.

Details: The manager clarified that the resolution concerns the city's agreement with the County and the half-penny sales tax allocation, not the choice of a vendor. Commissioners voted to authorize the city manager to sign the required interlocal agreement retroactive to the date listed in the resolution.

Next steps: With the signed interlocal agreement, the city can proceed to receive the agreed-on funds and services per the county program and follow county procurement rules for any vendor selection when required.
