This ordinance provided for the purchase, development, and operation of an adequate mass transit system by the County. In 1960, the Dade County Commission passed an ordinance creating the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) to unify the different transit operations into one countywide service. Tri-Rail, a commuter rail system, connects the Miami Intermodal Center & Tri-Rail Metrorail Transfer station to Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. Tri-Rail is a separate entity and not controlled by MDT. As of 2013, rail fares collected were $23 million/yr and it cost $78 million/yr to operate the rail system. The opening of the new Metrorail Orange Line in April 2012 is expected to significantly increase usage of the system. Metromover operates throughout the Downtown, Omni, and Brickell neighborhoods, and is composed of three rail loops and 22 stations. Metrorail is composed of two rail lines (Green and Orange lines) with 23 stations radiating from the city center towards outlying neighborhoods north and south of Downtown. MDT's main transit stations are Government Center in Downtown, and the Miami Intermodal Center in Grapeland Heights, which can access the Miami International Airport. Metrobus operates over 93 routes, including the South Dade Transitway.

As of 2011, MDT had a daily passenger ridership of 336,067, and accounted for over 15% of Miamians' daily transportation. MDT also operates two light rail systems: Metrorail and Metromover. MDT operates the Metrobus with their paratransit STS systems run by LSF. From 2014 to 2018, each year there fewer riders than the prior year. It is the largest transit system in Florida and the 15th-largest transit system in the United States.
