The grading scale appears first, followed by the two actions residents use most: adding a report and finding the right City of Miami commissioner.
Hotspot grading scale
Every hotspot grade comes directly from its reported severity.
Residents choose a severity from 1 to 5, and the site translates that into a public grade using the scale below.
Severity 2Grade B
Moderate concern
Noticeable barrier, but most people can still move through it.
Example in Miami: a bus stop with no bench, but still reachable and generally safe.
Severity 3Grade C
Meaningful barrier
A recurring problem that affects comfort, access, or reliability.
Example in Miami: repeated standing water near a curb ramp that slows crossings after rain.
Severity 4Grade D
High-priority issue
A serious issue that creates clear risk or blocks normal use.
Example in Miami: a dark corridor or flood-prone stop that regularly forces unsafe movement.
Severity 5Grade F
Critical condition
An urgent hotspot needing fast public attention and action.
Example in Miami: a broken sidewalk or unsafe crosswalk that pushes residents directly into traffic.
