During the county’s first public budget meeting Thursday, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said she is recommending the commission fully fund transportation improvement district (TID) funding.
The money will help expand Metrorail/Tri-Rail service into new corridors in the future, which will potentially pull cars off the road and ease congestion.
“We’re going to make sure that’s restored,” Commission Chairman Oliver Gilbert, III said.
The budget for 2024-2025 involves spending $30 million to transition five offices away from the county government. Commissioners face “budget constraints” with “hard choices,” Mayor Levine Cava said.
