Connections 2013 (181kb)
Connections are the key to optimizing rail investments.

This document clarifies roles and responsibilities for the various organizations that share a common interest in the success of our regional rail transit system. Connections 2013 includes 16 components, most of which have been incorporated in the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan adopted by the METROPLAN ORLANDO Board, that will provide essential connections to optimize rail investments in Central Florida.
