ANALYS!S
The Mayor and Commission have identified traffic congestion throughout the City as a
priority issue. At their direction, the Administration is pursuing a multi-pronged approach to
address traffic congestion. The following is a listing of projects underway, each at varying
levels of progress and estimated funding needs for each. Parking rate increases are
proposed in various categories to: (1) fund the initiatives identified below and (2) modify
driver behavior to better manage parking demand through financial incentives. Please note
future parking rate increases may be needed to fund other medium to long range initiatives,
such as light rail.
TRANSPORTATION I N ITIATIVES :
lntellioent Transportation Svstem (!TS) and Parkinq Manaqement Svstem
The Administration is currently pursuing a real-time traffic management system to monitor
trafflc flow and throughput as well as monitor parking availability and demand on a real{ime
basis.
The City of Miami Beach is one of the economic engines in the State. The thriving service
industry and the Miami Beach Convention Center contributed to a reported 6,142,600
overnight visitors in 2013. ln addition, recent figures indicate that although resident
population in Miami Beach is 90,588, average daily population comprised of commuters and
visitors is 205,915. A highly urbanized barrier island with only four connections to the main
land, the City's causeways and arterials frequently operate at failing levels of service. Given
the limited capacity of the roadway network, the City Commission has approved the
implementation of an ITS and Parking Management System as an additional effort to help
manage traffic congestion, parking availability, and improve traffic flow along majorarteries.
The ITS and Parking ManagementSystem Projectwillconsistof thefollowing components:. 18 C.C.T.V. cameras for video monitoring of traffic conditions and incidents.. 32 Travel Time Data Collectors to allow engineers to review traffic conditions and
implement changes prior to reaching saturated conditions.. 15 small scale lnteractive Digital Message Signs to advise drivers of traffic and
parking conditions within Arterial Roadways.. 2large scale lnteractive Digital Message Signs on 2 Causeways to advise drivers of
traffic and parking conditions.. lmplement parking detection systems at 8 garages, 35 surface parking lots, and 2
corridors to record realtime parking conditions.. 60 Electronic Signs to relay real-time parking availability information. Upgrading Parking Department's Mobile Application to reflect real-time parking
availability information.. A Transportation Management Center located within City Limits to integrate the
operations of the ITS and Parking Management system and serve as the data and
information clearinghouse.. Adaptive Traffic Signal Control (optional component of the project) would be for 93
intersections along the following major corridors:
o Alton Road: Sth Street to 43rd Streeto 5th Street: Alton Road to Collins Avenue
o 41st Street: Alton Road to Collins Avenue

Status
The City of Miami Beach is working closely with the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) District Vl staff and Miami-Dade County staff on this project. Both agencies have
participated in coordination meetings and provided valuable input on project planning,
design, phasing, and operational aspects of the project. The City will continue to work with
FDOT and County staff during each phase to ensure close coordination of the City's ITS
project with the State's and County's signal infrastructure system.
The ITS and Parking Management System project has a duration of 24 months and is
anticipated for completion by the end of 2017. The total cost of the prolect is estimated at
$14,556,590. The City is providing a local match of $4,556,590 which has been budgeted in
the current fiscal year. The City's annual operating and maintenance costs for the ITS and
Parking Management System have been estimated at approximately $2 million.
The City has recently applied for a $10 Million grant under the U.S. Department of
Transportation (USDOT) Transportation lmprovements Generating Economic Recovery
(TIGER) Vllfederaldiscretionary grant program. We anticipate receiving notification from
USDOT as to whether or not the ITS and Parking Management System project is awarded
federal funding in the fall of this year.
Currently, the Administration is in the process of selecting a Program Manager who will
serve as owner's representative and be responsible for developing the specifications for a
Design, Build, Operate, and Maintain (DBOM) contractforthe ITS and Parking Management
System project.
TransiUTrollev Svstem
The Administration is currently identifying additional funding and resources needed to
develop and implement a citywide interconnected trolley system as part of the Fiscal Year
(FY)2015/l6budgetprocess. Theproposedcitywidesystemwouldconsistoftrolleyroutes
in North, Middle, and South Beach, including the existing North Beach Loop, the proposed
Middle Beach Loop, a Collins Link, and a South Beach Loop that would complement the
current South Beach Local service. The totalfunding forthis comprehensive trolley system,
including the cost of the existing South Beach Local service funded by the City (one-third of
the total annual cost of operation and maintenance), is estimated at $1 1.05 million annually
(see table below). Funding is proposed to be augmented by approximately $2.33 million of
People's Transportation Plan (PTP) funds from Miami-Dade County currently allocated to
capital projects and an increase of the contribution from surplus parking funds from $1.3
million to approximately $3.0 million. The table below lists the estimated annual operating
expenditures for each of the trolley loops.

The citywide interconnected trolley system has been included as part of the FY 2015116
proposed budget with current funding, given the lead time necessary forthe manufacturing
and delivery of new low-floor trolley vehicles.
Liqht Rail/Modern Streetcar
The City has been working in partnership with the Miami-Dade Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO), the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Miami-Dade Transit
(MDT), and the City of Miami as part of the ongoing Beach Corridor Transit Connection
Study (formerly known as the Baylink Corridor Study). The study commenced in October
2013 and focuses on re-evaluating the Locally Preferred Alternative resulting from the 2004
Baylink Corridor Study which proposed a light rail transiUmodern streetcar connection
between Miami Beach and Downtown Miami via the MacArthur Causeway. A Technical
Advisory Committee (TAC) comprised of staff from various municipal and transportation
agencies and a Policy Executive Committee (PEC) comprised of elected officials from
Miami-Dade County, City of Miami, and City of Miami Beach have been established to assist
the studyteam in making key milestone decisions through the study process. Both the TAC
and the PEC have endorsed the project moving forward and delivered through a Public-
Private Partnership (P3).
ln order to connect Miami Beach and Downtown Miami via light rail transit, the current Beach
Corridor Transit Connection study reaffirmed the MacArthur Causeway as the preferred
corridor to link the two cities. Due to the inherent environmental and engineering challenges
associated with implementing the portion of the route alignment along the MacArthur
Causeway, the study consultant expects that the level of environmental documentation and
coordination with the federal government that will be necessary as part of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process will be substantial, lengthy, and require an
Environmental lmpact Statement (ElS) to be conducted. The NEPA phase alone is
projected to cost approximately $t 0 million with each local participating agency contributing
a portion of the cost. The City of Miami Beach share is estimated at $417,000.
Based on the project schedule presented to the TAC and PEC by the consultant team, it is
anticipated that the NEPA documents, design, and construction phases are estimated to
take 6 to 9 years. lt is our understanding that this NEPA process is a pre-requisite to be

eligible for up to 50% federal funds for capital and up to 25% state funds for capital (i.e.,
50% federall 25o/o state/ 25oh local contribution). However, due to the very competitive
nature of the federal discretionary grant process for funding these types of projects, the local
(City's) match would need to be higher than 25o/o of the capital costs.
At this time, the preferred route alignment to connect Miami Beach and Downtown Miami
has been identified as the Direct Connect alternative and consists of bi-directional seMce
along the MacArthur Causeway, Sth Street, and Washington Avenue. A future phase
proposes service along Collins Avenue, 41"1 Street, and the Julia Tuttle Causeway to
connect to Midtown Miami. The South Beach portion of the Direct Connect route alignment
represents approximately $ 1 +gn/ (28% of the total $532 million capital cost of the total Miami
to Miami Beach project), excluding the cost of a maintenance yard. lf this ratio is used as an
estimate of operating costs, the portion of operating costs for the Direct Connect alignment
on South Beach would be approximately $7 million annually (28o/o of $22 million annual
operating costs payments which would be required for the entire project under a P3
scenario).
Thus, assuming the City wishes to proceed on an accelerated basis without federal funds,
the Administration estimates that the total annual availability payments forthe portion of the
Direct Connect alignment in South Beach would be approximately $12 million - $17 million
per year, depending on the level of availability of state funds (including capital and operating
cost). The cost of a rail yard on Miami Beach could increase these payments to between $17
million and $25 million, contingent upon the level of capital subsidy from the State.
Short Term Express Bus Service (EBS)
ln an effort to expedite cross-bay mass transit connectivity, the Administration is studying the
feasibility of implementing express bus service connecting Miami Beach and Downtown
Miami on a 1 -2year timeframe. Severalalternatives are currently being considered. One
of the route alignment alternatives includes bi-directional EBS across the MacArthur
Causeway, sth Street, and Washington Avenue (similar to the light rail/modern streetcar
alignment described above). The use of the shoulders along the Causeway as well as

dedicated lanes along Sth Street and Washington Avenue corridors is being evaluated in
order to ensure reliable and efficient express bus service. The capital cost of the short-term
express bus service is estimated between $12 million and $20 million, depending on the
number of articulated buses required which is predicated on the route alignment selected
and frequency of service (ranging from S-minute headways to 1O-minute headways). lt is
anticipated that the proposed express bus service would cost approximately $5.3 million
annually to operate based on a fleet of 19 articulated buses operating at a frequency of 5 -
7.5 minute headways during peak periods for 19 hours per daylT days perweek. City staff is
currently having discussions with both FDOT and MDT staff in terms of cost-sharing
opportunities for the capital and operating expenditures associated with providing this
express bus service. Additionally, it is important to note that only a portion of the proposed
Express Bus Service (i.e., the route alignment along the MacArthur Causeway to Downtown
Miami)would be implemented if a light railtransiUmodern streetcarsystem is implemented in
South Beach. Under this service scenario, annual operating costs for the EBS would be
approximately $3.S million.
PARKING INITIATIVES:
Freiqht Loadinq Zone Proqram (FLZ)
FLZs are regulated parking zones strategically located for large vehicles (10,000 15s.+)to
conduct deliveries. Coupled with strict enforcement of obstruction of travel lanes by Police
and enforcement of loading areas by the Parking Department, these zones have greatly
reduced congestion.
Parkinq Manaqement Svstem (PMS)
A component of the aforementioned ITS initiative, PMS will provide real time parking space
monitoring and parking availability. Real time parking availability is then communicated to
motorists via electronic message signs at strategic locations throughout the city.
Valet Parkinq Amendments to the Gitv Code
Currently, valet parking operations on the City's right-of-way contribute to traffic congestion
and other abuses of city property and resident quality of life. Proposed amendments to the
32

City Code to strengthen regulation and enforcement provisions are well underway.
Development of existinq municipa! metered parkinq lots to multi-level parkinq
structures
The following sites have been identified for potential development either through joint
venture partnerships or as standalone City pro.lects:
Washington Avenue Master Plan
As an outcome of both the Washington Avenue Master Plan and the Transportation
Workshop held on March 18,2015, staff was charged with finding alternatives to replace on-
street parking with off-street parking. As a result, three potential sites have been identified
that could replace some or all of the on-street parking between Sth and 17th Streets.
Municipal Parking Lot No. P16 (1262 Collins Ave)
P16 is located at southwest corner of the intersection of 13th Street and Collins Avenue,
opposite of Municipal Parking Garage No. 3 (G3). This lot was recently renovated and was
completed on May 13,2015. A parking garage similar in size to Municipal Parking Garage
No. 3 (G3), located at the northeast corner of the intersection of 13th Street and Collins
Avenue, could be constructed. Furthermore, based on current construction costs it is
estimated that the construction of an eight-story parking garage with approximately 405
spaces will cost approximately $t 2.7M, which represents approximately $31K per space.
Municipa! Parking Lot No. P13 (1020 Washington Ave)
P13 is located in the northwest corner of the intersection of 1Oth Street and Washington
Avenue. The parking lot abuts an alleyway (Drexel Court) to the west and holds a total of 37
parking spaces, including two disabled parking spaces. Renovations to this lot were
completed in 2013. A five-story parking garage could be constructed in this location. lt is
estimated that the parking garage could hold up to 140 parking spaces. Estimated
construction costs for this parking garage is $5.2M, or approximately $37K per space.

Municipal Parking Garage No.2 (G2) (1100 Washington Ave)
This is a multi-level parking garage that serves the police headquarters and its visitors. The
parking structure is divided into two areas, the police headquarters' parking and the visitors'
parking. These two parking sections are not connected. Based on design and construction
parameters, it is possible that one or two additional parking levels could be incorporated to
the visitors' parking area that could replicate the uppermost level of this section of the
parking garage. The additional levels could potentially represent an increase of 100 parking
spaces at an estimated $1 .5M or $15K per space.
The chart below illustrates a potential net increase of 558 off-street parking spaces along the
Washington Avenue corridor and estimated costs. The 779 proposed spaces exceed the
existing 577 on and off-street parking spaces in the area. Additionally, other sites in the
area have been identified as potential public-private partnership opportunities that may
further increase off-street parking inventory.

The City has approximately $10M in Fee of Lieu of Parking funds for the South Beach area;
however, if all three (3) projects were funded an additional $10M would be needed. Further,
the City Commission endorsed the Washington Avenue Master Plan recommendation to
issue an RFLI (Request for Letters of lnterest) for parking garage(s) along Washington
Avenue, and the City has been approached by at least one (1) interested property owner.
Middle Beach Needs
Several areas throughout mid-beach have been determined to be operating at high
utilization rates, indicating additional parking needs, and some areas we have already
referred for discussion at NCAC (Neighborhoods and Community Affairs Committee)
. Municipal Parking Lot No. P55, located on Collins Avenue and 27th Street;o Municipal Parking Lot No. P71, located on Collins Avenue and 46th Street; ando Municipal Parking LotNo. P63, locatedon42nd Streetand Royal PalmAvenue
North Beach Blue Ribbon Panel
Several areas in North Beach have been identified to be operating at high utilization rates,
indicating additional parking needs. lt has been a longstanding goal to develop a parking
garage in North Beach. Several sites have been identified, including standalone city
projects and potentialjoint venture developments. Additionally, residents have expressed a
need for additional parking in their neighborhoods. While there are no commercial or
recreational uses displacing parking in these neighborhoods, the sheer volume of vehicles
per household is increasing demand.
FUNDING NEED SUMMARY
The following is a summary of funding needs for all projects identified above, including ITS
operational cost, availability amounts for light rail/modem streetcar, garage construction and
operational cost for South, Middle, and North Beach.

PARKING ENTERPRISE FUND
The available fund balance in the Parking Fund, as of September 30, 2014, was $26M (net
of two months of required reserves). Each year, the City budgets an amount to be used to
fund future renewal and replacement projects in the fund. ln addition, the Parking Fund is an
enterprise fund with revenues pledged to debt service payments. However, surplus funds
(revenues in excess of expenditures) from prior years may be used for other City purposes.
Currently, these surplus funds are used to fund transportation expenses as well as
supplement General Fund Revenues. Detailed projections of parking cash flows are being
developed as part of the bonds needed for the Convention Center project; however, the
chart below provides a rough projection of funds over the next five years assuming existing
rates and moderate growth.
Given the estimates below, a positive Parking Fund available balance will not be sustainable
under the existing rate structures. There will not be enough available balance to fund the
projected FY 2015/16 proposed expenditures.
Fundinq
A recurring revenue stream is necessary to sustain annually recurring expenses related to
the aforementioned transportation initiatives as well as to enhance the Parking Enterprise
Fund bonding capacity to fund the aforementioned garage expansion projects.
The Mayorand Commission has given generaldirection to the Administration to recommend
strategies, including but not limited to increases in parking rates. A parking rate increase will
provide the following benefits:

further congestion is caused by pulling in and out of lanes of travel- Source: Federal
Highway Administration). Currently, metered on-street and off-street parking rates
are $1 .75 per hour and enforced 9:00 AM to 3:00AM (18 hours), seven days a week.
Garage rates are for the most part $1.00 per hour, with a maximum daily rate of
$20.00 (see appendices for detail of proposed parking rates at each municipal
parking garage, except during special events).
Current parking rates are too low to effectively alter driver behavior. At the March 18,
2015, Transportation Workshop, it was recommended that on-street parking rates
should be sufficiently higher than off-street parking rates to incentivize drivers to park
off-street. The goal is to reduce on-street parking demand. This can be
accomplished by increasing parking rates. Hence, only those drivers willing to pay a
"premium" will use on-street parking and all others will seek other parking or mobility
alternatives (garages, transit, bicycle, pedestrian). A key component of achieving
this goal is arriving at the EPR (Effective Parking Rate) for on and off-street parking.
EPR is defined as the optimum on-street and off-street parking rates and the price
buffer between the two rates that "effectively" changes driver behavior. There may
be some adjustments to either or both on and off-street rates to achieve EPR. lf
approved in concept, the Administration recommends some latitude be incorporated
in the City Code amendment to allow for such adjustments.
Please note parking fine schedules are set by Miami-Dade County and the State of
Florida. Overtime parking and other related fine schedules must be at appropriate
levels in order to be effective and achieve compliance. Currently, an overtime
parking violation is $18.00. Parking user fees in the region, including Miami Beach,
are comparable, and in some cases, higher than an overtime parking fine. This
increases traffic congestion by perpetuating low risUhigh reward user parking
behavior.
2. Parking Revenue Bonds - Bonding Capacity: Currently, the City's bond rating is
"Aa2" and Parking Bonds have an "A" rating. lncreasing parking rates will in turn
increase the City's parking revenue stream resulting in increased bonding capacity.
Additional bonding capacity is needed in order to fund the list of transportation and
parking capital projects identified eadier.
3. Equity in Space Rental Pricing and Residential Visitor Permits - Parking space
rentals are available for valet parking, construction, special events, and film & print.
Currently, daily space rental rates are $17 forvalet (ramp) and $10 forall other
categories and Residential Parking Visitor Permits are $1.00 per day.
ln addition, it is important to note that municipal parking rates are substantially lower than
private sector or market rates. This has perpetuated an artificial demand for municipal
public parking as drivers "cruise" for on-street parking spaces (30% of traffic congestion
attributed to on-street parking); queuing at municipal parking garages seeking a $1.00 hourly
rate versus a much higher hourly rates or flat rates at privately owned/operated parking
garages; and lengthy waiting lists (12 lo 18 months) for monthly parking at municipal
garages. A recent parking rate survey of 13 privately owned/operated garages and surface
parking lots in the South Beach entertainment districts revealed an average hourly rate of
$5.00; maximum daily rate of $30.00; and monthly rate of $187.00, as compared to $1.00,
$20.00, and $70.00, respectively, at municipal garages.

Parking Rate Amendments to the City Code - First Reading
Page 12 of 14
Parking Rates - Proposed lncreases:
ln response to the funding needs and issues discussed above, a number of rates have been
identified for potential increases.
o lncreasing rates for South Beach on-street parking with lower increases for off-street
(parking garages and lots). Conceptually, on-street hourly parking meter rates are
proposed at $3.00 with metered parking lots and garages at $2.00, hourly.
o Restructure rates and hours of enforcement for Collins Avenue/lndian Creek
between 23'd Street and 44th Streets to be consistent with rates and hours in South
Beach, as the intensity in activity in this area has changed to be more similar to
South Beach levels.
o lncrease space rental rates for three of the four space rental categories (no change
for film/print space rentals incentives) The City Code provides for a special event
space rental fee of $0.25 per square foot. The dimension of a parking space is 187
square feet, equating to $46.75, per space. Therefore, a daily space rental rate of
$46.75 is proposed.
o Residential Parking Virtual Visitor Permits are currently $1.00 perday. Products and
services that are undervalued are prone to abuses. lncreasing the value of virtual
visitor permits diminishes opportunities for potential abuse. An increase to $2.00 per
day would yield an annual increase in revenue of $147,685 or $3.00 per day equates
to $295,370.
The impact of potential increases are summarized below taking into accounta20o/o elasticity
adjustment for on-street parking (i.e. decrease in demand due to price increases) and a25o/o
elasticity adjustment for space rentals. Additional detail is attached.
It is important to note hourly parking meter rate increases would nof necessarily be
applicable to Miami Beach resrdents. Currently, Miami Beach resrdenfs enjoy a reduced
hourly parking meter rate of $1.00, instead of $1.75, in Soufh Beach, through Parkmobile
(payment mobile application). This represenfs a 43% discount. Moreover, Parkmobile
waives ifs user fees for Miami Beach residents. lf the Mayor and Commission approve,
either the existing parking rate discount or some alternative discount may continue for
resrdenfs.
Current Annual Revenue (lnc
Meter Hourly Rates:
South Beach On-Street Meters $1.75 $3.00 $7,115,000.00

Cumulatively, the aforementioned parking rate increases are estimated to have the potential
to yield an additional $19.1 million, annually, representing $95.5 million over five (5)
assuming no increase in utilization. As described, these increased revenues would be
utilized to fund the more immediate transportation initiatives and the bonding capacityforthe
Parking Enterprise Fund is estimated at $140 million to fund parking garage expansion
projects. lt is important to note that additional rate increases may be needed in the future to
fund other projects, including light rail. lf all potential rate increases identified above are
