Metromover system enhancements

Miami-Dade County's Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) is actively working to upgrade the Metromover, a free elevated people mover system that operates seven days a week in the downtown Miami, Omni, and Brickell areas.
The Metromover has been a crown jewel of Miami-Dade Transit for over 30 years, first opening to the public in April 1986. While the system has expanded and vehicles have been replaced, major subsystems responsible for keeping the Automated People Mover (APM) functioning have met their design life spans.
Metromover riders have experienced frequent service disruptions on all three system loops, and DTPW recognizes the need for an aggressive approach to replacing and repairing these subsystems to ensure reliability and accessibility.
On May 4, 2021, the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted a Resolution approving the awarding of a contract to Bombardier Transportation (Holdings) USA, Inc. for the purchase of a Metromover Comprehensive Wayside System Overhaul.
Over the course of the next four years, the project will renovate subsystems including:
- the Automatic Train Control System
- Data Transmission System with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
- Power Distribution System elements (e.g., low voltage breakers, protective relays, ground switches)
- guideway switch equipment
- Central Control equipment.
The project will include the design, supply manufacturing, installation, testing and commissioning of the Automated People Mover System into a fully functional Miami-Dade County Metromover System. Additionally, the new system will include Bombardier’s state-of-the-art Communication Based Train Control System (CBTC).
Once completed, the Metromover system enhancements will include:
- Improved system reliability which will help reduce service disruptions.
- Increased vehicles frequency which will reduce wait times for riders.
- More flexibility of routes. New alternate routes will be introduced to meet service demands and get passengers to desired locations quicker.
- Extended lifespan of the system to another 30 years by rehabilitating the track.
In addition, once the track work is completed the system will be able to easily accept new vehicles and DTPW will start the procurement process for new Metromover cars.
Miami-Dade Transit riders deserve reliability, reduced delays, and enhanced communication. This project is just one of the ways DTPW is working to not only provide a better riding experience, but to encourage more Miami-Dade County residents to take advantage of Transit’s extensive transportation network.
The total contract amount is not to exceed $152,920,983.22, consisting of $22,042,300.00 from a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant and $130,878,683.22 from Charter County Transportation Surtax Funds for a four-year term.
