2014-28466 Reso 2014-28466 A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, URGING THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO ADOPT LEGISLATION THAT WOULD EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIGITAL DISPATCH PROVIDERS OF FOR-HIRE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY. WHEREAS, in recent years, the for-hire transportation industry has been revolutionized by companies, such as Uber, that provide digital on-demand taxi and luxury car service; and WHEREAS, in over 50 other world-class tourist and business-based destinations such as New York, Paris, London, and Rome, new technologies have been implemented to improve taxi and corporate car services which have enhanced transportation options for residents and visitors; and WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach believe that enhanced technologies for on-demand car services should be adopted in our community because such advances would not only elevate taxi and corporate car service in Miami-Dade County to world-class standards, but would also result in the creation of significant job opportunities for the residents of Miami-Dade County in the taxi and corporate car industry; and WHEREAS, the Miami-Dade County Commissioners who have sponsored ordinances designed to improve the local taxi industry with credit card and GPS requirements are to be commended; however, County legislation is required that would not impose artificial vehicle caps or minimum prices for the dispatch of car services because such measures merely protect the status quo and effectively create a monopoly for a few companies; and WHEREAS as a world renowned tourist destination and preeminent residential community, the City of Miami Beach, as well as all of Miami-Dade County, would benefit significantly from comprehensive and meaningful reforms to improve the local for-hire transportation industry. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA that the Mayor and City Commission hereby urge the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners to adopt legislation that would expand opportunities for digital dispatch providers of for-hire transportation services in Miami-Dade County.
