North Miami outlines use of People’s Transportation Plan funds for trolleys, Freebee on‑demand and pedestrian projects
Summary
North Miami’s interim transportation manager presented a 20/80 PTP funding model that the city uses for transit and roads, described a growing Freebee on‑demand service and the new Nomi Express circulator, and outlined traffic‑calming phases and a planned pedestrian bridge replacement.
Steven Marcellus, interim transportation manager for the City of North Miami, presented the city’s annual CITT report to the Citizens Independent Transportation Trust on Jan. 29, describing how the municipality is allocating local PTP surtax funds and highlighting transit and pedestrian projects.
Marcellus said North Miami dedicates 20 percent of local PTP surtax proceeds to transit and 80 percent to roadway and infrastructure work. He said the city’s 20 percent transit allocation — reported in the presentation as $774,369.60 — supports the city’s circulator (Nomi Express), an on‑demand Freebee pilot, trolley shelter maintenance and related transit services; the remaining 80 percent supports resurfacing, sidewalk repairs, traffic calming and a planned pedestrian bridge replacement.
