NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that this Board directs the Mayor or Mayor�s designee to: 1) establish a business friendly web-based program for the purchase of bulk transit passes; and 2) meet with representatives of City Year to provide for marketing assistance to promote bulk purchasing of transit passes by area businesses in exchange for the continuation of complimentary transit passes for City Year workers in Fiscal Year 2015-16.
