The city would run a trolley route to connect with the Miami Intermodal Center next to Miami International Airport and will be building a train station platform on the Northeast Corridor if the demonstration projects win final approval and funds.

Mayor Francis Suarez, and Manolo Reyes, who’s the Commissioner, and Vice Chair Ken Russell are sponsoring the legislation.

According to Mayor Suarez, these projects are a put the city of Miami for a huge win and a step towards seeing the SMART Plan come alive.

SMART or The Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit, is prioritizing light rail or premium transit technology along with six priority corridors, and a bus express rapid transit network.

According to Mr. Bovo, all proposed SMART demonstration projects endorsed by the TPO Transportation and Mobility Committee should be advanced.
