to the Marion Transit Center, the main hub of the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit system. A connection to Tampa International Airport was also being considered Phase 2: Orlando to Miami route The second phase of the project would have been an Orlando-Miami link. As of the Regional Rail Briefing in Lakeland, Florida, on March 24, 2010, two routes were under consideration. One route followed SR 528 past the Orlando International Airport toward Cape Canaveral, before joining and following Interstate 95 down to Miami. The other route traveled south along Florida's Turnpike to Miami. The environmental impact study for the corridor began in 2010 and would have taken approximately two years to complete. The higher-speed rail route of Brightline is being developed between Orlando and Miami closely follows the Cape Canaveral route.
