Dear Transportation Provider:

As you know, Miami-Dade County (MDC) will host Super Bowl XLIV on February 7, 2010.  In addition, for the first time, the Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, January 31, 2010 at Land Shark Stadium.  It is our duty and responsibility to meet the transportation needs of the thousands of people who will visit our community during those days preceding the events and immediately after in a manner that will create a lasting positive impression.

In recognition of the extraordinary needs created by Super Bowl and Pro Bowl, Miami-Dade County has developed rules and regulations to facilitate temporary licensing while assuring the protection of the public through compliance with Code requirements.  Temporary licenses will be issued to limousine operators licensed in other jurisdictions, and existing Miami-Dade license holders who desire to add vehicles to their fleet for the events.  Temporary licenses will be valid only for the period of January 24, 2010 through February 12, 2010. You will have the choice to apply for a temporary license for each event separately or to obtain a temporary license that will cover both events.  In addition, please be advised that all applicants that are not the holders of a current and valid Miami-Dade County for-hire license must be sponsored by a licensed company.  The sponsor will be responsible for ensuring the quality of the vehicle (age and vehicle type), the training of the operator, lost and found/complaints, for-hire Code violations and, that the insurance requirements are met.

Enclosed please find the temporary for-hire limousine license application.  Please read the application carefully and submit completed applications within the time period specified to:  Consumer Services Department, Passenger Transportation Regulatory Division, 140 W. Flagler Street, #904, Miami, Florida, 33130

Mail-in applications will be accepted from November 16, 2009 through January 20, 2010.  After the application is reviewed for compliance, you will receive a decal for each limousine listed in the application via certified mail.  Walk-in applications will be accepted at our office from November 16, 2009 through February 5, 2010 and if all requirements are met, you will be able to receive your decal(s) the same day. Please be advised that if you do not hold a valid MDC for-hire license or temporary limousine permit you will not be able to purchase a parking decal for these events.

We look forward to working with you during the application process.  If you have any questions concerning the applications, please contact Mr. Raul A. Gonzalez at 305-375-5801. Thank you as always for your cooperation.
