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.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 15th day of January, 2014.
