Tri-Rail is Southeast Florida’s commuter rail line, which runs through 19 stations on the 73.5-mile South Florida Rail Corridor between Miami and Mangonia Park. The name refers to the three counties through which the line passes: Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Tri-Rail is operated by the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, an agency of the State of Florida. 

Tri-Rail had its origins when, in 1989 it began to operate as a temporary commuter rail service while construction crews widened Interstate 95 and the parallel Florida’s Turnpike. In 2003, the Florida Legislature transformed the Tri-County Commuter Rail Authority (Tri-Rail) into the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA).

The Authority was created with a vision to provide greater mobility in South Florida, thereby improving the economic viability and quality of life of the community, region and state. The Authority’s mission is to coordinate, develop and implement a viable regional transportation system in South Florida that endeavors to meet the desires and needs for the movement of people, goods and services. The SFRTA currently operates Tri-Rail, which spans Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. Additional regional services may be added in the future.
