Miami-Dade’s Citizens’ Independent Transportation Trust (CITT) is looking for new board members. The group oversees how funds from the half-penny transportation tax are used, supporting upgrades to bus and rail services, improving bike and pedestrian paths, and closing first- and last-mile gaps, as detailed by the Miami-Dade County news release.
Volunteering for the Citizens’ Independent Transportation Trust (CITT) means helping oversee how the half-penny surtax is spent to improve transportation across the county. To qualify, applicants must be registered voters with a strong track record in community service and a background or serious interest in transportation issues.
Candidates must avoid conflicts of interest and comply with Florida’s Sunshine and Financial Disclosure laws. A committee will review applicants to ensure they have no direct ties to county contracts. Ethics rules are strict, and the Inspector General keeps a close watch—accountability is part of the job. There are open spots on the Citizens’ Independent Transportation Trust (CITT) for districts 9, 10, and 12. Visit their website to download the application, or call 305-375-1357 for more info.
