What alignments are being considered?
The Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway, extending the length of the tri-county corridor was selected during the Phase 1 study. The existing railway is wide enough in most places to accommodate at least one track for passenger service and would therefore require less additional right-of-way than some of the other corridors studied in Phase 1. In Phase 2 of the study, the FEC Railway alignment will be refined to determine where the transitway for each of the technologies would be placed within the right-of-way. In Palm Beach County, a combination of I-95, US 1 and local arterials also remains under consideration for one alternative to extend Tri-Rail service to Jupiter using Regional Bus.
