Seaport and airport representatives acknowledge the need for a competitive transit system to cruise and airport passengers and port and airport employees can access these facilities without a car.
According to FLL, the connection between the Airport and the Port is very important. There are currently a number of strategies that currently connect travelers between the port and airport including rental cars, taxis and charter buses/shuttles. There is enough demand to support a coordinated, public transit connection or circulator between the two facilities.
SFRTA currently provides a shuttle between Tri-Rail and the FLL airport.
The Wave Streetcar, and connections to it, might be a possible solution to intra-Port/Airport connections as well as to broader connections to surrounding neighborhoods and the region. The Airport, Port and others will need to coordinate to identify the right strategy to planning a transit strategy. The concurrent Master Plan updates (2016-2018) of the Airport and Port would provide the right context to do this.
