Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust

Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust The Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust was created to oversee expenditure of the transportation Surtax and implementation of the PTP

The Citizens’ Independent Transportation Trust (Transportation Trust) is the 15-member body created by Miami-Dade County voters to oversee expenditure of revenue generated by the half-percent Charter County Sales Surtax that funds the transit and roadway projects in the People’s
Transportation Plan (PTP). The Transportation Trust is comprised of 15 members appointed by each member of the Board of

County Commissioners, the County Mayor and the Miami-Dade League of Cities. The Office of the Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust is the County department that provides professional staff support to the Transportation Trust. The Trust administers the PTP funded Municipal Transportation Program where participating municipalities receive 20% of Surtax funds for transit and roadway projects


Significant improvements have been made to the County’s public transit and roadway systems because of the PTP. New buses and Metromover vehicles have been purchased and are in operation. Municipal circulator systems are successfully operating in twenty-six of the participating municipalities. More than 300 miles of roads have been improved, the countywide traffic signalization system has been upgraded and the Metrorail Orange Line extension to the airport is completed and in operation. Because of the PTP, thousands of seniors and eligible veterans enjoy fare free rides on the public transit system. Funding decisions made by the Transportation Trust helped turn
the half-cent Surtax into meaningful projects that offer greater mobility options to public transportation users. For more information about the Transportation Trust and the People’s Transportation Plan call 305-375-1357, email [email protected] or visit www.miamidade.gov/ctt.
