This analysis of Florida´s rail initiatives is based on four years of study into the benefits and drawbacks of rail systems in Florida. Its goal is to give elected officials and taxpayers both sides of the rail argument so they can make informed decisions. Florida´s rail initiative may be the most important policy decision of our generation.
There are a dozen proposed rail projects in Florida but this analysis will focus on three; Tri-Rail in Miami, Sun Rail in Orlando, and high speed rail proposed throughout the State of Florida.
