Miami-Dade's 2025 budget proposal reduces transit funding by $16 million, halting contributions to the transit savings program for the first time in six years.
'You're actually stealing from the future of transit,' said Commissioner Eileen Higgins in response to the proposed budget cuts affecting rapid mass transit expansion.
In response to federal grant applications, Higgins noted, 'We have to show we have the matching funds ready,' emphasizing the importance of consistent transit funding.
The 2025 budget, lacking federal COVID aid, faces added pressures with new expense demands, including $30 million in costs for transitioning departments.
