TRI-RAIL INCREASES DAILY TRAIN SERVICE

DATE: June 20, 2007 CONTACT: Bonnie Arnold
South Florida Regional Transportation Authority/Tri-Rail
PHONE: 954-788-7936

As part of the “Getting you there on the double” marketing campaign, Tri-Rail introduces its new schedule, which offers 50 weekday trains with service every 20 to 30 minutes during rush hour. Commuters will have 10 additional trains, allowing them more flexibility to get to their destination. The implementation of the new schedule was made possible by the completion of the Double Track Corridor Improvement Program and the New River Bridge.

“This campaign launches at an ideal time with gas prices at an all time high,” said Director of Marketing Bonnie Arnold of South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA)/Tri-Rail. “With more trains, more often and cost-saving fares, we hope that more people will recognize that Tri-Rail is a real deal when traveling throughout the South Florida region.”

Copies of the new schedule are available at stations with ticket agents. The new schedule is also posted on the website at http://www.tri-rail.com/ Additional information is available by calling Customer Service at

1-800-TRI-RAIL (874-7245).

The inauguration of the new schedule marks another milestone for the SFRTA and Tri-Rail. Last year, Tri-Rail led the nation’s commuter-rail sector in ridership growth, according to the American Public Transportation Association. Since August 2000, when Tri-Rail went to a clock-face schedule for the first time, the number of trains operated daily has more than doubled.

The Double Track Corridor Improvement Program was funded by the Federal Transit Administration, the Florida Department of Transportation, Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties, as well as additional local funds. The New River Bridge Project was solely funded by the FDOT.
