Brightline Florida Routes

Passengers will be able to use Brightline in 2017. When this service begins, it will mark a new era of convenient, efficient and affordable transportation for both tourists and locals. The Brightline map connects Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, with passenger trains running hourly throughout the day. Stations include:

MiamiCentral

MiamiCentral will be located at NW 1st Avenue between NW 3rd Street and NW 8th Street. In addition to MiamiCentral station, there will also be a gateway complex in historic Overtown — 3 MiamiCentral. Located at the corner of NW 2nd Avenue and NW 6th Street, this two-acre mixed-use development will offer retail, commercial and parking space.

By connecting with public transit systems already in place, MiamiCentral takes advantage of existing infrastructure. With access through a new terminal, MiamiCentral will provide a direct link to entertainment in and around downtown Miami. It may also lead to new commercial, retail and residential growth.

Fort Lauderdale

The Fort Lauderdale station will be located at NW 2nd Avenue, between Broward Boulevard and NW 4th Street. Providing a new access point into Broward County and the city, it will help cement Fort Lauderdale’s reputation as the “City of Tomorrow.”

This 60,000-square-foot station and platform will offer a contemporary, multi-story lobby as well as parking facilities and an elevated lounge area for travelers. Connecting to Broward County Transit System, Sun Trolley, the planned Tri-Rail station and the future Wave Streetcar, Fort Lauderdale station is expected to bring growth to this area. It will provide direct access to shopping, cultural and economic destinations.

West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach station will be located between S. Rosemary and S. Quadrille, east and west, and between Datura Street and Evernia Street, north and south. By connecting with the area’s existing transportation networks — including trolley, vehicular and pedestrian — this station will establish links to the Amtrack West Palm Beach Station and the Tri-Rail. The end result will be a new transportation hub for the entire West Palm Beach area.

Nestled in the cultural heart of downtown West Palm Beach, this 60,000-square-foot future station and platform will be perfectly positioned with Clematis Street and the government center district to the north, and the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and CityPlace to the south.
