10.15.20 Monorail One Pager

The Miami Beach Monorail Consortium is proposing a monorail connecting Downtown Miami and Miami Beach to fulfill the need for mass transit. The monorail would run along the South side of the MacArthur Causeway for 3.45 miles, carrying up to 300 passengers on each of two trains operating at 50 mph. The monorail's elevated rubber tire technology does not require dedicated traffic lanes and its mainland transit hub would connect to the County Bus and People Mover. The project led by infrastructure firm Meridiam would create thousands of local jobs and support Miami's tourism industry by providing efficient travel between Miami and Miami Beach.
