Promoting passenger trains as a transportation alternative in Florida since 1983. We are citizens who advocate for Amtrak, commuter rail, intercity rail and transit for Florida's future.
Governor-Elect Rick Scott has named State Senator Paula Dockery to his transition team, according to the Lakeland Ledger.
Dockery, of course, is a longtime advocate for high speed rail in Florida. However, she was a critic of the deal to create SunRail in Central Florida.
Meanwhile, Republican Congressman John Mica (who championed SunRail) has begun to question Florida's high speed rail project.
The next few months should be interesting!
