The Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) confirmed that regular weekday transit services will operate this Presidents’ Day. On Monday, commuters can expect the usual availability of Metrobus, Metrorail, and MetroConnect. This provision aims to cater to those who require transportation during the holiday and often struggle with reduced schedules, as per the Miami-Dade County announcement.
While transit services will run as per a normal weekday, it’s important to note that Miami-Dade County offices, including all administrative offices and Customer Service centers for the DTPW, will be taking the day off. For commuters who utilize the Special Transportation Service (STS), however, trip reservations and cancellations can still be made by calling 305-871-1111, with additional lines open for TTY users. This concession provides a lifeline for those relying on the essential service, even on federal holidays.
For those inclined towards digital interactions, myriad options remain available. The Miami-Dade Government's website indicates that transit riders can manage their EASY Cards online, be it through purchases or reloads via the Transit Store or an assortment of apps like GO Miami-Dade Transit, Token Transit, and others. This convenience allows the denizens of Miami-Dade County the flexibility of handling their transportation needs from the comfort of their homes or on the go.
Further, DTPW encourages riders to look into obtaining or reporting concerns related to the Golden Passport EASY Card through their online system. In a similar vein, reporting a lost item through Lost and Found remains an accessible service. To keep abreast of transit service updates and public transportation announcements, the-wise would sign up for alerts or follow DTPW’s social media pages, as advised in the press release.
