For Immediate Release September 7, 2011 Contact: Bonnie Arnold, Director of Marketing 954-788-7936 MIAMI AIRPORT TRI-RAIL STATION TO CLOSE ON OR ABOUT SEPTEMBER 12 Tri-Rail’s Miami Airport Station will temporarily close on or about September 12, 2011 to facilitate construction of the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC). The station is expected to be closed for a period of approximately two years, during which time it will be rebuilt and connected to the airport via an escalator and people mover. During this two year period, the southern terminus of rail service will be the Hialeah Market Station, where bus transportation will be provided to and from the Miami International Airport through this station. Trailers have been installed to house a ticket agent and restroom facilities. Additional lighting has been installed and approximately 60 additional parking spaces have been striped. There will be 24-hour security at the station. Two northbound trains, P638 and P642, will originate from the Metrorail Transfer Station. Two southbound trains, P631 and P635 will terminate at the Metrorail Transfer Station. Passengers will be bused to and from the Hialeah Market Station and the Miami International Airport for these trains. By closing the Miami Airport Station, the construction time of the MIC will be reduced by approximately 21 months and will result in taxpayers saving approximately $10 million in construction costs. The impact to passengers should be less than 10 minutes in extended travel time to the airport. For additional information, log onto www.tri-rail.com or call 1-800-TRI-RAIL (874-7245.) -###- .

RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents
2015 FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN - 2018 UPDATE The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Freight and Multimodal Operations Office (FMO) present this 2018 update of the 2015 Florida Rail System Plan. As new challenges have had a great impact on the needs and future projects identified in the 2015 Rail System Plan, FDOT prepared this update. CHALLENGES • New State Rail Plan Guidance was created in 2013 to set a standard format and elaborate on required elements of the plan to include a 5-year update cycle, and a requirement for states seeking capital grants under Sections 301, 302, and 501. See https://www.fra.dot.gov/Page/P0511. Thereafter, FDOT prepared a 2015 Rail System Plan that was completed in December 2015. The Plan was not published at that time, as major industry changes were expected and no public outreach had yet been conducted. • Major industry changes occurred that impacted most of the rail mileage in Florida: o CSX hired Hunter Harrison in spring of 2017, and radically changed the company by imposing precision-scheduled railroading instead of a hub-and-spoke system. This approach has been continued by CSX leadership through 2018. o Grupo México Transportes (GMXT), the leading rail freight transportation company in Mexico, successfully completed the acquisition of Florida East Coast Railway in 2017. o Brightline began service in 2018 between West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami later in the year, and with plans to connect to Orlando and potentially to Tampa in the future. APPROACH • The FAST Act (Title 49, Section 22702) passage in December 2015 changed the 5-year update cycle to a 4-year update cycle.
