    In 1960, the County Commission passed an ordinance to create the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA).

    Over the years and under various administrations, MTA evolved into the Metro-Dade Transportation Administration, the Metro-Dade Transit Agency, the Miami-Dade* Transit Agency, and is now known simply as
    Miami-Dade Transit (MDT).

    Today's MDT has a viable four-mode system-Metrobus, Metrorail, Metromover, and Paratransit (STS)-used by nearly 300,000 passengers daily.

    • A 1997 election changed the name of the County from Dade to Miami-Dade
