Work is underway to extend SunRail another 12.2 miles to the north, to the new DeLand station, which is set to open this summer.
After 10 years of operating SunRail, FDOT will hand over the reins at the beginning of next year to the five local funding partners: the city of Orlando and Osceola, Orange, Seminole and Volusia counties.
. . .
Just last week FDOT released a study detailing plans to connect SunRail to Orlando International Airport in the east with the Orange County Convention Center, South International Drive and Disney Springs to the west.
It’s called the Sunshine Corridor.

Polk County is also working with FDOT to look at extending SunRail, from where it currently ends in Poinciana.
Currently, FDOT is in the process of hiring a consultant firm to lead an expansion study for the first phase, which would connect Poinciana to Haines City.
