Let growth and development pay for Tri-Rail
Tri-Rail is for many the only means of transportation to their jobs. As a frequent rider, I see these people dressed for work, some with their bicycles, to complete their commute. Additionally, there are many travelers and students aboard. Tri-Rail is a cost-effective and convenient means of transportation to both the Fort Lauderdale and Miami airport and stops in between. In Miami, you can hop off of Tri-Rail, get onto Metro Rail, and spend the day enjoying all Miami has to offer. It’s much better and less expensive than Brightline. I propose the powers that be initiate a fee to these wealthy builders and their buyers for their increase in population. Call it a relocation fee. Since many of these builders and new residents seem to be in the mega-bucks arena, they shouldn’t miss a few measly million to help the average working stiff.
