Speak Up for Transit: September Budget Hearings.&nbsp;The FY2026-27 county budget isn&#39;t final until commissioners vote on it. Two public hearings in September are the last chance for residents to speak directly to all 13 commissioners before that happens. We need people in the room. Our ask: restore $12.4 million for early morning bus service.&nbsp;The proposed budget cuts the first buses of the day &mdash; the ones that get 3,500 riders to work before sunrise. Nurses, hospitality workers, construction crews, airport staff. People whose shifts start before most schedules do. Restoring $12.4 million keeps those buses running. We&#39;re not going alone.&nbsp;Transit Alliance Miami is joining Miami Freedom Project, Miami Civics Club, Catalyst Miami, and Engage Miami. Our partners are bringing budget demands on housing, the environment, libraries, and healthcare. Different asks, same message: this budget should reflect what residents actually need.&rarr; Read the full coalition talking points: <a fr-original-style="" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NR8l4Z0nz9l6uDS0O-hQh-plA1E_KvWt0UJNi1WquL8/edit?usp=sharing" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NR8l4Z0nz9l6uDS0O-hQh-plA1E_KvWt0UJNi1WquL8/edit?usp=sharing</a> Two hearings. Pick one or come to both.&rarr;&nbsp;Wednesday, September 3 &mdash; meeting begins at 5:00 PM &rarr; Wednesday, September 17 &mdash; meeting begins at 5:00 PM. This is the night commissioners adopt the budget. 📍Stephen P. Clark Center, 111 NW First Street, Miami, FL 33128 About the timing: You have to register in order to give public comment, and it gets busy. The meeting starts at 5:00 PM, but the earlier you arrive and sign up, the earlier your turn to speak. Arrive late and you could be waiting a while. That&#39;s why we&#39;re asking roughly what time you plan to get there, so we have someone available to help you register and get on the speaker list. Ballpark is fine. What to bring:&rarr;&nbsp;Photo ID &mdash; you cannot get in without it. &rarr; Water &rarr;&nbsp;Snacks for the wait in line. Eating isn&#39;t allowed inside the chamber itself, so plan to eat before you go in. &rarr; Nothing that wouldn&#39;t clear airport security. Building security screens everyone on the way in, so leave any of that at home. You don&#39;t need to be an expert. Keep your comment to one minute, and in your own words is best. If you arrive early, we&#39;ll help you put your comment together while we wait for the meeting to start. Want to prepare in advance? Join one of our budget and public comment workshops: <a fr-original-style="" href="https://linktr.ee/transitmia" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/transitmia</a>#StopTheCuts #SaveTheFirstBus
