SERVICE IN SOUTH BEACH.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
The City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2005-25934, dated June 8, 2005, which executed
an Inter-local Agreement with Miami-Dade County for Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) to operate a
bi-directional transit circulator route service in Miami Beach, to be known as the "South Beach
Local". Service commenced on September 25, 2005, and the South Beach Local replaced both
the City's Electrowave Shuttle Service and MDT's Route W, serving the entire South Beach
community.
In 2005, MDT became the contractor providing shuttle services on South Beach the Miami
Beach Transportation Management Association (MBTMA). As a result of the City and County
combining and coordinating transit resources MDT has provided an expanded level of service at
significantly less cost to the City. The partnership recognizes the benefits of the required
infusion of spending for route improvements by MDT to comply with the requirements of the
Peoples Transportation Plan (PTP). The agreement between the City and MDT captures the
benefit of the increased spending by MDT and shared resources to provide the community with
a higher level of service.
Resolution No. 2005-25934 also approved the City's participation in the first five years of cost
for the South Beach Local. The base level of service is paid to the County by using the City
transit share of the annual PTP. The annual PTP transit allocation is 20% of the total amount
provided to the City. This 20% allocation is required to be used for transit purposes. If not
used for transit services, the 20% share of PTP funds must be returned to the County. The
2007 PTP allocation is $654,654.
Funding for the City's FY 2007-08 operating cost for the South Beach Local are recommended
as follows:
$ 654,654 20% of the City's share of the PTP funds
received by Miami Beach in FY 2006-07;
$ 470,828 Concurrency Mitigation/SoBe funds; and
$ 254,123 FY 2007-08 Parking Enterprise Budget
$1,379,605 Total Miami Beach share
Ridership for the South Beach Local in 2007 has increased by 449,659 compared to ridership in
2006. A comparison of ridership data for the South Beach Local for the months between
January and June of 2006 and 2007 is provided below.
