We gave SunRail/FDOT a piece of our mind at Friday’s SunRail
Customer Advisory Committee meeting.

We told the FDOT/SunRail bosses that it’s disingenuous to
hold the “public” meeting at such an inconvenient time if they’re serious about
wanting to hear concerns from the public.
(Don’t get us wrong, CAC members should be commended for
vigorously sharing rider concerns with the SunRail bosses. Not that the bosses do
anything about those concerns.)
Guess we shouldn’t be surprised that the folks running
“America’s most inconvenient railroad” would hold a public meeting at an
inconvenient time.
The SunRail bosses quickly passed the buck to the CAC members – lay people who are regular SunRail riders – and told them they could set the meeting for any time.

CAC members didn’t blink. They quickly agreed that going
forward CAC will hold two of their four quarterly meetings in the morning and
two after work when more members of the public – both riders and would-be
riders – can attend.
Score 1 point for the “public.”
Keep watching this space for more information on upcoming SunRail
meetings.
