The Miami-Dade County Transportation Committee approved a resolution authorizing the Department of Transportation and Public Works to implement major service changes to the county bus network on or after July 21, 2025.

The resolution (Item 1G2) was read together with the related RTZ ordinance during the public hearing segment. There were no public speakers registered on this item at the time of the hearing.

During discussion following the vote, a committee member noted the department's rollout plan for the South Dade corridor later this summer. Chairwoman Higgins said, "I also just wanna point out on 1G2, the department with the new bus routes, it's the first time we're starting to see the plan for the rollout of the South Dade corridor later this summer. So thank you so much. It's very exciting to see that come, come to fruition." The transcript does not provide further detail on route-level changes or budget figures for the implementation.

The roll call recorded affirmative votes from Commissioner Bastien, Commissioner Bermudez, Vice Chairwoman Regalado and Chairwoman Higgins; Senator Garcia was noted as absent earlier in the meeting.
