FDOT, Brightline to examine linking SunRail to Orlando airport
ORLANDO One of the most common complaints about SunRail is where it doesn t go: the Orange County Convention Center, Disney World and Orlando International Airport.
Now that the commuter rail line has committed to extending to DeLand, officials are looking to the next step and have Florida s busiest airport which sees about 66,000 daily passengers in their sights. The Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission has approved an agreement to work collaboratively with Brightline, a private passenger train company, to link Orlando s Meadow Woods station with the airport.
SunRail officials have studied developing a spur to the airport before; this time they will look to do it with Brightline, which operates a high-speed train between Miami and West Palm Beach, and is now building a connection with Orlando with plans to continue west to Tampa in coming years.
