Litter can ruin the view of any neighborhood

Help Control Litter

Throwing away trash such as paper, bottles, cans and food containers on the ground and other non-designated areas is considered littering. Littering is illegal, harmful to the environment and just looks bad. The Department encourages residents to reduce litter and illegal dumping in our communities with one simple message: Don't trash it, can it!

Miami traffic running smoothly

Improving Your Commute

Since December 2005, Miami-Dade County has been working to implement its new, state-of-the-art Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS).  Funding for this new ATMS is being provided in part by $49-million from the People’s Transportation Plan (PTP) -- the half-penny transportation surtax overwhelmingly approved by voters in November 2002.

Once fully implemented, the system will synchronize all 2,600 traffic signals in the County, increase the number of vehicles able to pass through the County’s major roadways, and reduce side-street delays.
