I‑4 Passenger Rail Station Study Survey
We want to hear about your travel needs and priorities related to a future station along I‑4.
The I-4 Passenger Rail Station Study explores how future high-speed, intercity passenger rail service could connect Polk County to major destinations across Central Florida and beyond. The study will identify potential station locations and amenities that best serve Polk County residents and visitors.
