Project Description:

The MIA Mover is an elevated Automated People Mover (APM) system traveling on a Fixed Guideway connecting three elevated stations in front of the MIA passenger terminal to transport passengers between the terminals and the planned Miami Intermodal Cntr.� The MIA mover will enhance the Ground Transportation/Landside access to MIA by relieving traffic in the passenger terminal areas, terminal curbfronts and on the main access roadways into MIA Ground Transportation accesses to MIA is the critical factor that can cap the capacity of MIA.

Relief of passenger traffic in terminal areas, terminal curbfronts and on the main access roadways into and out of MIA.
