Tri-Rail Coastal Link

Welcome to the Tri-Rail Coastal Link website

We are a regional partnership dedicated to reintroducing passenger rail service to the historic downtowns of
South Florida along the Florida East Coast Rail Corridor.

Tri-Rail Coastal Link

The planned Tri-Rail Coastal Link service on the Florida East Coast (FEC) railway is a strategic investment for Southeast Florida and has the ability to enhance the long-term competitive position of our region. The Coastal Link will generate an extensive range of benefits that go beyond the direct impacts of any individual project, including spurring economic development, creating jobs, improving regional access and mobility, and providing opportunities for transit-oriented development. The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) along with our partners at the Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), the Southeast Florida Transportation Council (SEFTC), and the South Florida and Treasure Coast Regional Planning Councils
are working diligently to make the Coastal Link service a reality in South Florida.
