Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new transportation bill into law on Wednesday, utilizing a budget surplus to expedite traffic plans. The bill includes provisions that could pave the way for a high-speed rail route between Tampa and Orlando, a project long under consideration. While not confirmed, an extension of Brightline along the I-4 corridor is a possibility. Governor DeSantis emphasized that while state funds won’t be used for construction, the legislation reserves space for future rail development.
