IRA MEMORANDUM
~ Agenda Item No. 7(S~(l)(J)
TO: Honorable Chairperson and Members
B~Counly Commissioners
FROM:~.a:::r-
County Manager
DATE: September 9, 2003
SUBJECT: lnterlocal Agreement with
City of Miami Beach for
Public Transportation Services
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that an interlocal agreement between Miami-Dade County and the City of
Miami Beach be approved for the City to provide residents and visitors with public
transportation services in addition to, and complementary with, the transit service provided by
the County. Approval of this interlocal agreement will permit the City or its contractor to
continue to operate the City's municipal "E1ectrowave" shuttle service. This interIocal
'agreement is required under Chapter 31, Article III, and Section 31-113 of the Code, which
gives municipalities the ability to operate public transit services only under interlocal
agreements with the County. .
BACKGROUND
Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami Beach entered into an interlocal agreement on
March 23, 1998, for the operation of the Electrowave (EW) Shuttle Service. This agreement
expired March 23,2002. Since then, three (3) temporary Emergency Passenger Motor Carrier
Certificate of Transportation have been issued by the Miami-Dade Passenger Transportation
Regulatory Division of the Consumer Services Department, until a new lnterlocal Agreement
is approved and executed by both parties.
The City of Miami Beach has been offering the EW shuttle service to citizens of the City and
the County since March, 1998 under the previously approved InterIocal Agreement The City
desires to continue to provide innovative, convenient, reliable, cost-effective, ADA accessible
local transit service within the City to complement the countywide transit service being
provided by Miami-Dade Transit (MDT). The City operates one route connecting its
residential areas to its commercial centers and tourist attractions, offering a viable alternative
to private vehicles. These routes also provide excellent opportunities for transfers to Metrobus
allowing travel beyond the city limits. The City will be responsible for all operating costs of
the service.
OPlM staff has provided technical service planning and scheduling to the City in the
development of this project by working with the City and its consultant.
Key provisions of the agreement include:
,
Honorable Chairperson and Members
Board of County Commissioners

· Fares for the use of the EW Shuttle shall be in accordance with public transit fares
established by the County, as may be modified from time to time pursuant to Section 2-
150 (c) of the Code of Miami-Dade County;
· The City will adhere to all county, federal, state and local transit operating and reporting
requirements;
· MDT and the City will exchange route and schedule information to each other's patrons
using normal information distribution channels. The City may erect additional information
displays at all bus stops. The City is responsible for passenger shelters and benches at all
bus stops served by the circulator; and
· The Agreement is for five years, with three one-year options to renew. The options to
renew are authorized subject to agreement by the City and County Managers.
This agreement is essentially the same as those previously approved by the Board with several
other municipalities such as Bal Harbour, South Miami, and Sunny Isles Beach.
The Shuttle complements countywide bus service by, operating frequent, local service
connecting activity centers within the City to Metrobus. The cost to operate the services is the
responsibility of the City under the concept that the County operates countywide inter-
municipal services, and municipalities operate local services. '
FISCAL IMPACT
The additional riders attracted to transit by operation of the Shuttle may add marginally to
MDT revenues. The City circulator provicJes additional transit service to residents and visitors
at no direct cost to the County.
