Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The $2 billion Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) project is the most advanced and forward-looking "all-in-one" airport intermodal center in the U.S. It has four major components: 1) the Rental Car Center (RCC) opened for business on July 13, 2010; 2) the Miami International Airport (MIA) Mover opened to the public on September 9, 2011; 3) the Metrorail Airport Link is scheduled to open in April 2012; and 4) the Miami Central Station (MCS) is scheduled to be completed by September 2013. The Tri-Rail connection at MCS allows MIA to serve as the convenient international get-away airport of choice for the entire South Florida, from Palm Beach to the north to the Ft. Lauderdale in the middle, thus enlarge the service radius of MIA from 30 miles to 70 miles. The MIC enables MIA to continue grow without worrying about the ever-worsening ground access problems other airports have to face and deal with.
