Miami-Dade County kicked off Operation Green Light on Monday, a county initiative designed to help residents reinstate suspended driver’s licenses and resolve outstanding court obligations.
The program, spearheaded by Miami-Dade County Clerk of Court and Comptroller Juan Fernández-Barquín, aims to reduce the number of license suspensions by facilitating payments for eligible residents. According to Fernández-Barquín’s office, the twice-yearly initiative allows participants to save an average of 30% on eligible cases, restoring access to essential services that require a valid driver’s license.
Driver’s licenses in Miami-Dade are typically suspended for unpaid traffic tickets, failure to appear in court, point suspensions, and other related infractions. Operation Green Light, which previously ran in April, gives residents the opportunity to pay fines and overdue amounts online, by phone, or in person. The operation will continue until October 19.
Eligible payments include traffic citations, parking violations, and criminal cases, with additional fees for accounts transferred to collections waived during the initiative.
In-person payment locations with extended hours include:
-
Coral Gables District Court, 3100 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Coral Gables, FL 33134
