Concept Design of Downtown MiamiCentral Development and Brightline Train Station Currently Under Construction SMART PLAN OVERVIEW The Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan is a bold infrastructure program of projects that will significantly improve transportation mobility in Miami‐Dade County and the South Florida region. The SMART Plan will provide a world‐class transit system that will promote economic growth and job creation, as well as increase the region’s international competitiveness. Miami is a global hub, representing not only the Gateway of the America’s, but also the nations southeast capital for international freight and cargo, as well as the number one passenger cruise port in the world. Miami‐Dade County is the most populous county in Florida, with 2.7 million residents, and represents the core contingency of the 4th largest urban area in the nation, known as the Miami Urbanized Area, with over 5.5 million people. Miami‐Dade Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez, along with the Miami‐Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) Governing Board, has declared the advancement of the SMART Plan as the top priority for Miami‐Dade County, which is strongly supported by public and private sector partners, residents, and other elected officials. The SMART Plan represents a vision for the region that is both strategic and far‐reaching, creating a system of multiple transportation options by leveraging existing infrastructure, and integrating technology at the highest levels. The plan is comprehensive, proactive, and supports the future population and employment growth anticipated in our region. I‐95 Congestion Miami, Florida The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) estimates the annual cost of congestion to motorists in urban areas is approximately $7 billion. This represents a significant cost and economic disadvantage that if not addressed, will result in urban areas like Miami being left behind. Miami‐Dade Population & Employment Miami‐Dade Travel Time Comparison The SMART Plan will expand transit options in Miami‐Dade County along six (6) critical corridors that are linked to regional, state, national, and global economic markets, as highlighted below. Another critical component of the SMART Plan is a network of Express Buses, known as Bus Express Rapid Transit (BERT), which will connect the SMART rapid transit corridors on limited access facilities, promoting the active expansion of South Florida’s Express Lanes network. This innovative approach effectively expands the reach of transit in Miami‐Dade County and beyond. Beach Corridor: Highest tourist demand in region with major employment centers. East‐West Corridor: Heaviest commuter travel for international, state and local businesses. Kendall Corridor: One of the most congested arterial roadways with the highest demand. North Corridor: Key regional mobility linkage for access to jobs, stadium and educational facilities. Northeast Corridor: High transit demand and part of a critical regional corridor stretching to Palm Beach County. South Corridor: Experiencing the fastest population growth in Miami‐Dade County. An estimated 1.7 million people live within a 2 mile radius of the SMART Plan alignments, representing approximately 63% of the most populous county in Florida. In 2002, Miami‐Dade voters approved a half penny sales surtax to demonstrate a local commitment to mass‐transit expansion. This local commitment demonstrates the desire and dedication from Miami‐Dade County to seek and implement alternative transportation methods from all levels of the community. This dedicated funding source is available to match State and Federal funds for the implementation of this Plan. Local Funding: The Miami‐Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO), in coordination with Miami‐Dade County and the Florida Department of Transportation, have fully funded all six (6) Rapid Transit environmental studies. In addition, the TPO has allocated $75 Million to advance preliminary design and right‐of‐way acquisition, as well as $30 Million a year for a period of thirty (30) years starting in Fiscal Year 2023. State and federal funding partnerships will be critical to deliver these projects.

Comprehensive maintenance performed by highly skilled Siemens technicians, who use proven solutions and the latest in Tom Rutkowski digital monitoring and analysis, helps keep the fleet running on schedule every day. VP of Engineering and Chief Mechanical Officer Client Objectives Brightline Brightline envisioned offering the ultimate passenger experience when it partnered with Siemens on the custom design of its five Venture trainsets. It also wanted to ensure on-time travel to make the train a real alternative to car trips bogged down by South Florida’s intense highway traffic. As manufacturing on the first trainset began in July 2015, Brightline recognized that a cutting-edge maintenance program would be crucial to keeping its trains on schedule. It would also be necessary to keep all five of its initial trainsets in running order during service hours. To ensure this high level of availability, Brightline signed a 30-year agreement to make Siemens its maintenance partner for the long term. Brightline began revenue service in January 2018. The maintenance program was up and running by then, operating out of a renovated depot in West Palm Beach that was updated to meet the special requirements of quick turnaround service.

    UPCOMING: Brightline Signal Testing Extended Until Saturday, June 19 in West Palm Beach ALERT: Trains Outside of Testing Area Will Operate at Top Speeds of 79 MPH MIAMI, Fla. (June 18, 2021) – Brightline signal work continues in Palm Beach County, through railroad crossings in West Palm Beach. Work will now run until 7 p.m., Saturday, June 19. The work supports positive train control (PTC) implementation and is expected to be completed by July 2021. Testing is in preparation of Brightline’s return to service later this year. Brightline trains will now be operating at FRA approved and authorized top speeds of 79 miles per hour outside of specific testing zones and along the entire 67-mile corridor from West Palm Beach to Miami. Trains will be adhering to quiet zones throughout testing and will not sound horns in designated areas. With trains now operating on the tracks at more regular intervals and at top speeds, Brightline is reminding the public, pedestrians, motorists and cyclists to make safe choices around trains and crossings. The safety message is simple: look, listen, live. Drivers and pedestrians should obey all traffic laws around crossings and never stop on the tracks! Remain alert and aware when near railroad tracks and only cross the tracks at a railroad crossing. NOTE: The following will occur during signal testing at the crossings listed below: • Brightline trains will be present in the work zones (listed below) and could be present throughout the entire corridor from West Palm Beach to Miami. • Horns WILL SOUND, even in quiet zones. This includes all trains (Brightline and freight trains).

  • Green Bond Framework Introduction

    Green Bond Framework Introduction

    Green Bond Framework Introduction Brightline Holdings LLC ( “Brightline”, the “Company”, “us” or “we”) owns and operates an express passenger rail system connecting major population centers in Florida, with plans to expand operations further in Florida, Las Vegas and elsewhere in North America. We are the first new major private passenger intercity railroad in the United States in over a century, and we believe our business represents a scalable model for twenty-first century passenger travel in North America. We currently operate between Miami and West Palm Beach, one of the most heavily traveled and congested regions in the U.S. We have commenced construction of the expansion of our Florida passenger rail system to Orlando, Florida, and we intend to further expand our rail service to Tampa, Florida. Louis Berger estimates the total potential addressable market of travelers across our Miami to Tampa corridor to be approximately 413 million trips annually. We can operate up to 32 trains daily that are capable of speeds of up to 125 miles per hour, and we own stations located in the heart of downtown cities and major transit hubs in Florida. We believe our passenger rail system offers travel that is faster, safer, more eco-friendly, more reliable, less expensive, more productive and more enjoyable than travel by car or air. On March 5, 2019, we acquired DesertXpress Enterprises, LLC and certain related assets (the ‘‘XpressWest Acquisition’’), including the rights to develop a high-speed rail project within a corridor between Southern California and Las Vegas, Nevada. The XpressWest Acquisition provides us with the opportunity to develop, operate and connect Las Vegas with Southern California by means of a new passenger rail system (the “Vegas Expansion”).
