About me: The Florida Coalition of Rail Passengers (FCRP) was formed in 1983 to preserve and to improve railroad passenger service for Floridians and visitors to our state. FCRP believes that the incremental approach to improving passenger service and rail infrastructure is the most efficient and cost-effective way to bring better train service to Florida. When necessary, FCRP supports building new infrastructure where it is practical and makes economic sense to do so.
FCRP's association with both the National Association Railroad Passengers (NARP) and the United Rail Passenger Alliance (URPA) has allowed FCRP to assimilate diverse perspectives on the long term future of Amtrak and advocate balanced rail service improvements in Florida.
FCRP also supports the preservation and continued use of historic railroad depots in Florida as part of rail passenger service. FCRP has endorsed or actively supported depot restoration projects in Tampa, Orlando, Kissimmee, DeLand, Winter Haven, Sebring, Deerfield Beach, Palatka, and Ft. Lauderdale, and a new depot in Lakeland. FCRP and NARP worked together to obtain Amtrak station stops at Palatka and Okeechobee.
FCRP played an active role in advocating the extension of the Sunset Limited and encouraged Amtrak to return first class sleeping car and dining car service to Tampa. It encouraged state support for the creation Tri-Rail and supports its continued improvement. Tri-Rail is an essential tool in addressing the traffic congestion in southeast Florida and is helping to meet growing regional transportation needs.
