Tri-Rail director Steven Abrams to resign amid Miami station dispute

Tri-Rail’s leaders must resign or be fired

The $70 million Tri-Rail station at Brightline’s Miami terminal was designed so badly that the trains don’t fit. The key agency players are Executive Director, Steven Abrams, Deputy Executive Director, Diane Hernandez Del Calvo and General Counsel, Teresa Moore. Just before Christmas, the agency’s executive team provided more detail to the SFRTA Board revealing the problem is probably worse than previously explained and that the executive team had known since at least 2018. There is a lot of mud in the water, and I hope the situation gets resolved quickly, but what is clear is that the entire current SFRTA Executive Team needs to be replaced. • Hernandez Del Calvo failed to manage the agency’s capital development project (the station), failed to manage the public’s funds responsibly and, failed to notify the Board of the failures.

Brightline and Tri-Rail may both roll in downtown Miami this yearWritten by Jesse Scheckner on February 16, 2021AdvertisementBrightline is targeting late 2021 to resume passenger trips at MiamiCentral station in downtown Miami, which by then could also host Tri-Rail.

Super Bowl tri-county transit pass wont last long

Super Bowl tri-county transit pass wont last longWritten by Miami Today on January 28, 2020AdvertisementAfter months of planning, Miami-Dade transit officials on Friday announced a single mass transit pass linking from West Palm Beach to the Upper Florida Keys but only for the Super Bowl. Commissioner Esteban L. Bovo Jr. was the key sponsor of the resolution to create the regional transit pass in time for the Super Bowl, with Commissioners Eileen Higgins and Jean Monestime as co-sponsors. The idea of a permanent tri-county transit pass format, not just for a single event, has been in the works awhile. Broward County Transit and Palm Tran have been working with Miami-Dade County and the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority for years to create a regional pass, though Broward and Palm Beach counties transit organizations are not involved in this Super Bowl pass program. To get the GO Miami-Dade app and purchase the special Super Bowl period transit pass, the app can be downloaded free from the App Store or Google Play.
