The Northeast Corridor Rapid Transit Project is a planned commuter rail service in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The line is planned to extend from MiamiCentral to the Aventura station along the existing Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) tracks. It will have seven stations for the service in Miami-Dade, with both of the terminal stations having access to Brightline. Service could begin as soon as 2028. Tri-Rail is a potential operator of the service. A future extension into Broward and Palm Beach County is under study.
History
Prior to Brightline, a similar project was known as the Coastal Link in the 2010s with Tri-Rail as the prospective operator.
In 2020, it was revealed that Brightline was planning a commuter rail service to complement their existing intercity service. Referred to as the Northeast Corridor, trains would run between MiamiCentral and Aventura with five stations between. Brightline and the Miami-Dade County Commission agreed to access fees in November 2020. The estimated cost for full buildout of the line was $325 million in 2021. Operations were expected to start as early as 2024. By 2023, station locations had been identified and service frequencies for trains were expected to be every 30 to 60 minutes. The price of the project had increased to $588,663,000.
