I am honored to be Chairwoman of The Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission again. Last time I served as Chair, we rang the station bells for the first time in Osceola! This time, I will be focused on the transition of operations from FDOT to local partners. With lots of studies going on for possible future expansion, the future is bright for Sunrail.
