Miami-Dade County Beach Corridor Rapid Transit Project Friday, January 24, 2020 |

Miami-Dade County's Beach Corridor Rapid Transit study is evaluating how to connect Miami and Miami Beach with premium transit. View the latest project fact sheet with more information on the four modes of transportation being evaluated.
At this time, pursuant to the federal process, Miami-Dade County is prepared to recommend a technology and route (a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA)) to the Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) Governing Board at the January 30, 2020 TPO meeting. If approved by the TPO, the LPA will be advanced and refined in the next phase of transit project planning called Preliminary Engineering.
The County released the Beach Corridor Rapid Transit PD&E Study First Draft Report prepared by Parsons Corporation on January 23, 2020. This report provides the technical data used by Miami-Dade County to formulate a recommendation for an LPA. Please click here to review the draft report.
In summary, the draft report recommends the following:
- Automated People Mover (APM) for the Miami extension from the existing School Board Metromover station to Design District
- Elevated rubber tire vehicle (APM or Monorail) for the Trunkline (from a proposed Herald Plaza station/existing Museum Park Metromover station to Washington Avenue and 5 Street)
- Bus/Trolley on dedicated lanes for the Miami Beach extension from Washington Avenue and 5 Street to the Miami Beach Convention Center (along Washington Avenue)
Below is a map of the County's recommended alternative. |
