The transit system will be situated along the MacArthur Causeway.The project contemplates the delivery of a Downtown Miami/Overtwon Multimodal Hub/Transit Station, a City of Miami Beach Multimodal Hub/Transit Station, and a minimum of one maintenance facility to service transit vehicles to be delivered by the Concessionaire. The project also requires the private partner to establish an alignment that will accommodate a future station on Watson Island.Rapid transit technology options include monorail, automated people mover (an elevated rapid transit system), or a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, which would require a dedicated lane of traffic on the McArthur Causeway. The project is open to these or other technologies that may meet the project purpose.
