TRI-RAIL INAUGURATES ADDITIONAL TRAIN SERVICE JUNE 4
Schedule Increased from 40 to 50 trains per day,
Monday through Friday
The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority will begin operating an enhanced Tri-Rail schedule Monday, June 4, 2007. The new schedule calls for 50 trains a day, Monday through Friday, presenting passengers with an increase of 10 trains a day over current operations. The additional service provides for additional 20 and 30-minute headways during peak travel times. The implementation of the new schedule was made possible by the completion of the Double Track Corridor Improvement Program and the New River Bridge.
Copies of the new schedule will be available at stations with ticket agents as of Friday, June 1. The schedule will not be fully distributed at stations until after the final trains pass through on Sunday evening, June 3. The new schedule is currently posted on the website at www.tri-rail.com. Additional schedule information is available by calling Customer Service at 1-800-TRI-RAIL (874-7245).
The inauguration of the new schedule marks another milestone for the SFRTA and Tri-Rail. Last year, Tri-Rail led the nation’s commuter-rail sector in ridership growth, according to the American Public Transportation Association. Since August 2000, when Tri-Rail went to a clock-face schedule for the first time, the number of trains operated daily has more than doubled.
The Double Track Corridor Improvement Program was funded by the Federal Transit Administration, the Florida Department of Transportation, Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties, as well as additional local funds. The New River Bridge Project was solely funded by the FDOT.
