Dear Commissioners:
Our community is clamoring for sensible mass transit solutions at a time when public dollars for capital
construction remain scarce. Miami -Dade County and the City of Miami have an opportunity to make a wise
investment in a commuter rail system that will connect Tri-Rail to the All -Aboard Florida station in downtown
Miami. This single investment has the potential to activate two commuter rail corridors, and offer a viable
public transit alternative to areas of our community woefully underserved by our existing mass transit system.
As chairman of the County's Transit & Mobility Committee, I have committed myself to moving the dial on
mass transit infrastructure projects that will integrate our existing transit infrastructure with new transit systems
designed to facilitate the flow of passengers from all four corners of Miami -Dade County to downtown and vice
versa.
All -Aboard Florida and Tri-Rail have made a substantial investment in our community, and the investment you
are being asked to consider will cement the relationship between these two stakeholders and the communities
they intend to serve. It is important to strike while the iron is hot. I hope that you will vote to invest in this
worthwhile project, which will undoubtedly begin to restore the public's confidence in government's ability to
provide residents with viable public transit alternatives.
Sincerely,
Esteban Bovo, Jr.
