Promoting passenger trains as a transportation alternative in Florida since 1983. We are citizens who advocate for Amtrak, commuter rail, intercity rail and transit for Florida's future.
Since the new Governors of Ohio and Florida have decided not to support the planned high speed rail projects in their states, the federal dollars directed to projects there have been redirected to other states.
Florida is a beneficiary of this move. News release from USDOT: http://www.dot.gov/affairs/2010/dot20810.html
