Hi Guys!
Look here:

Amtrak Considers Statewide Commuter Rail Services Similar to Amtrak California. Several major pinpoints in the proposal are :
Miami/Dade
Tampa/Clearwater/St. Petersburg
Orlando/Kissimmee
Jacksonville Metro
Tallahassee
This is brilliant idea. Amtrak thinks this is an alternative to nasty clogged highways, like I-4, !-275, I-75, I-95, etc. The service will be equivalent or similar to what the California DOT has with it's Amtrak California Services. This is ONE more large step to Florida High Speed Rail. They also met with local metropolitan leaders of the regions above. Several agencies are planning local mass transit companies to help local congestion ease up. TBARTA, also known as the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority is one of these companies. They have already came out to the public to see their viewpoints. TBARTA is to have their "Regional Master Plan" complete by the first of July, 2009.
Please, share your thoughts on Amtrak Rail in Florida
