SunRail: Jump On It
As the year ends, it is important that Floridians note that the legislature failed to pass the Sunrail proposal once again. The legislature must not drag its feet on this project, as the federal funds will soon be unavailable.
The time has come to modernize Central Florida's transportation system.
Sunrail is essentially a new transit system for Central Florida. The system will create new and expand existing railroad tracks to accommodate passenger cars.
Although a much smaller system, Sunrail will operate much as the Washington DC Metro. Sunrail will provide fast and efficient service throughout Central Florida.
The initial plans call for tracks from Sanford through Orlando. However, it is expected that once the system is operating it will quickly expand.
If you have ever sat on I-4 wondering why it takes an hour to move ten miles, then Sunrail is the answer you seek.
Sunrail will reduce the number of cars on I-4, provide an affordable and efficient method of transportation for Floridians, and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Instead of having to rent a taxi to get to the airport, you will be able to leave Park Avenue and reach the airport in less than 20 minutes. This will be both cheaper and faster than car transportation.
Many Floridians are probably concerned about the costs of this project. However, there is good news in that regard.
The project will be heavily supplemented by federal funds that are waiting to be used on a system such as this.
No new taxes would be enacted to pay for this system. Indeed, once operational, the system will pay for itself.
Speaking of the economics of this project, this project will create thousands of jobs for individuals in Central Florida and stimulate the suffering local economy.
The Sunrail has to be built, then maintained and operated. For each of these stages, many unemployed Floridians will be able to find new jobs.
The Sunrail benefits everyone in Central Florida and provides the foundation for the continued growth and prosperity of the Orlando area.
As Orlando enters the future, it faces two options: it can either adopt a mass transit system such as Sunrail, or wait and watch as the drive time on I-4 increases. Sunrail benefits the economy, Sunrail benefits the residents of Orlando, and Sunrail benefits the environment. Let's get Sunrail!
