Metromover Fleet Management Plan

Miami-Dade Transit Metromover Fleet Management Plan _______________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ Roosevelt Bradley Director June 2003 Revision III Mission Statement “To meet the needs of the public for the highest quality transit service: safe, reliable, efficient and courteous.” ________________________________________________________________ Metromover Fleet Management Plan June 2003 Revision III MIAMI-DADE TRANSIT METROMOVER FLEET MANAGEMENT PLAN June 2003 This document is a statement of the processes and practices by which Miami- Dade Transit (MDT) establishes current and projected Metromover revenue- vehicle fleet size requirements and operating spare ratio. It serves as an update of the October 2000 Fleet Management Plan and includes a description of the system, planned revenue service, projected growth of the system, and an assessment of vehicle maintenance current and future needs. Revisions of the October 2000 Fleet Management Plan contained in the current plan include: • Use of 2-car trains as a service improvement to address overcrowding during peak periods • Implementation of a rotation program to normalize vehicle mileage within the fleet • Plans to complete a mid-life modernization of the vehicle fleet Metromover’s processes and practices, as outlined in this plan, comply not only with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 9030.1B, Chapter V, Section 15 entitled, “Fixed Guideway Rolling Stock,” but also with supplemental information received from FTA. This plan is a living document based on current realities and assumptions and is, therefore, subject to future revision. The plan is updated on a regular basis to assist in the planning and operation of Metromover. The Fleet Management Plan is structured to present the demand for service and methodology for analysis of that demand in Section Two.

South Florida Transit Resource Guide

SECOND EDITION Improving the Connection between Transit and Land Use SOUTH FLORIDA TRANSIT RESOURCE GUIDE June 2015 June 15, 2015 Dear Colleague: The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) is pleased to introduce the second edition of the South Florida Transit Resource Guide, which demonstrates the vital connection between transportation and land use throughout Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties. The first edition was well received and was awarded an honorable mention in the 2010 Transportation Planning Excellence Awards sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Decisions involving transportation and land use directly affect our quality of life and the economic vitality of the region. The choices we make influence how much free time we have, where we live and work, our recreational activities, how we travel, the state of our environment, and so much more. The SFRTA seeks to coordinate, develop and implement, in cooperation with all appropriate levels of government, private enterprise and citizens a regional transportation system in South Florida that ensures mobility, the advancement of sustainable growth and improvement in the quality of life for future generations. Increased development around Tri-Rail stations not only positively impacts Tri-Rail ridership, but can also influence regional growth as it pertains to transportation and land use. Station area- development decisions are governed by the city or county in which each station is located. This publication profiles the many factors which affect how the cities and counties promote station- area development. In summary, we hope this document provides the information needed to help communities and organizations make decisions which can improve the connection between land use and transportation.
Miami Central Station Construction Begins

Miami Central Station construction begins Date: Tuesday, September 27, 2011, 2:55pm EDT Construction begins Tuesday on the Miami Central Station, a major component of the Miami Intermodal Center, South Florida’s first ground transportation hub. Covering 16.5 acres, the $147 million Miami Central Station is a terminal scheduled to open in 2013 with access to various transportation services, including Amtrak and Tri-Rail, according to the project website. Metrorail will also connect to the station via the 2.4-mile AirportLink extension that is to be complete in April 2012. “The Miami Central Station is the crown jewel of the MIC Program,” Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Ananth Prasad said in a news release. “It will make a significant difference for residents and visitors by giving them transportation choices within this one location.” On Sept. 8, the MIA Mover, a 1.25-mile elevated people mover, opened at the Miami International Airport to transport travelers from the airport terminal to the rental car center. The mover is also to connect to the Miami Central Station, which is to be located adjacent to the airport. The MIA Mover, Miami Central Station, rental car center and several highway improvements comprise the Miami Intermodal Center project, which is being developed by FDOT. The Tri-Rail Miami Airport Station is closed for the next two years to facilitate construction of the Miami Intermodal Center.

Introduction This report looks at airport rail links in the planning stage, and is largely based on an IARO workshop held at Heathrow Airport, London, UK, in November 2014. Using examples of airport rail links in which IARO members have been involved, it seeks to answer the following questions: • Can we forecast air-rail link patronage? • Why do some plans succeed, and others fail? • Should we plan in-house or use consultants? • How do we get stakeholders involved? • Who pays and how do we negotiate between stakeholders? • What opportunities are there for IARO members? The examples discussed at the workshop were the Western Rail Access to Heathrow (WRAtH) project, the Glasgow Airport TramTrain Link, plus a number of projects in the USA.

Miami Intermodal Center Named Building of the Year

February 26, 2018 Tish Burgher, 305-470-5349 [email protected] Miami Intermodal Center Named Building of the Year Miami, FL – The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is proud to announce that the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) has received The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) Award from the Building Owners and Managers Association. The TOBY Award recognizes superiority in office and industrial buildings and rewards excellence in building management. Located just east of the Miami International Airport (MIA), the MIC is a massive $2 billion ground transportation hub that provides connectivity via various modes of transportation between Palm Beach County, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and the Florida Keys, making regional travel easier for residents and visitors. The MIC consists of several components including the Rental Car Center, which opened for business in July 2010; the MIA Mover, which became operational in September 2011, connecting MIA to the Rental Car Center; and the Miami Central Station, which opened in April 2015, and offers connections to Tri-Rail and Greyhound services. The facility was built by the Florida Department of Transportation in close coordination with project partners including Miami-Dade County and the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority. The MIC is managed by The Urban Group and Stiles Property Management. “We are honored that the Miami Intermodal Center has been selected for this prestigious award,” said James Wolfe, P.E., Secretary, FDOT District Six. “Since its inception in the 1990s, the intent was to create a state-of-the-art facility to serve as a major multi-modal transportation hub for the entire region.
