Heads Up
Transit Study
The Florida East Coast Corridor Transit Analysis Study, funded with $4 million from the federal government, is examining the possibility of sharing tracks with FEC freight trains. The tracks run through 28 downtown areas from Miami to Jupiter and near about a dozen other towns. The study also will assess alternatives.
The first phase of the wide-reaching study will run through next spring, and phase two will take at least another year and a half.
"If everything comes together -- including funding," says Scott Seeburger, project manager for FDOT, "we could have service as early as six years from now. If we look at what's more typical, this would take a time frame of about
12 years."
