Tri-Rail Coastal Service

"SFRTA’s Fast Start Plan for Tri-Rail Coastal Service" by v. johns, 11/22/12, 1:31PM

The graphic to the right (See: SFRTA) is a captured edit of the South Florida Regional Transit Authority’s service plan for new train stops between Jupiter and Miami. Their Fast Start Plan for Tri-Rail Coastal Service would help to significantly expand passenger rail throughout South Florida by complimenting already established service on CSX tracks west of I-95 with new train stops and service on FEC tracks to the east of the Interstate near US 1 and A1A.

Some objectives of the Fast Start Plan are: Integrated service, financial feasibility and fast implementation. The brochure from SFRTA’s Fast Start Plan website (PDF) is well-illustrated and informative. Their header reads: “Tri-Rail Coastal Service: Getting Southeast Florida to Work.”

Their service plan is far more local in scope than All Aboard Florida’s ambitious Orlando to Miami project but would fill a much needed gap in the current lack of train service between Southeast Florida’s downtown cores.
