DTPW had closed its customer service offices in March of last year in direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This measure was taken to minimize non-essential interactions between public transport users and employees, ensuring public health and safety during uncertain times.

Starting May 20, the following offices will once again welcome the public:

  • Pass Sales Office

    • Overtown Transit Village (OTV), 701 NW 1st Court, Suite 121, Miami, FL 33136
    • Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding County-observed holidays.
    • Office access will be limited to customers requiring service to ensure efficient operations and customer flow.
  • Golden Passport Office

    • Stephen P. Clark Center (ground floor), 111 NW 1st Street, Miami, FL 33128
    • Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding County-observed holidays.
    • Golden Passport Helpline: 786-469-5028 or email [email protected].
    • Similar to the Pass Sales Office, access will be limited to those needing direct assistance to maintain service quality.
  • Downtown Transportation Department Service Center Kiosk

    • Stephen P. Clark Center, 111 NW 1st Street, Miami, FL 33128

  • Wear a facial covering (covering both nose and mouth) at all times while inside.
  • Maintain social distancing of at least six feet, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to protect everyone’s well-being.

For customers seeking alternative methods to manage their transportation needs, the EASY Card Financial Center remains available for inquiries regarding Miami-Dade Transit passes. They can be reached at 786-469-5151 or via email at [email protected]. The EASY Card Financial Center operates Monday to Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding County-observed holidays.
