SunRail selected as name for commuter rail
Orlando Business Journal
The Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission has chosen SunRail as the new name for the planned 61.5 mile Central Florida Commuter Rail project after a two-month selection process in which 3,000 residents weighed in with their thoughts.
SunRail was the top pick out of more than 400 names submitted with the name SunTrax coming in second. The commission selected SunRail in a unanimous vote Dec. 19.
The $650 million rail project will link Orange, Seminole, Volusia and Osceola counties beginning in 2011. Funding for the purchase of the rail line was scuttled in the Legislature in May because of liability concerns. Lawmakers in the Orlando area are trying to forge a compromise that could win approval of both houses.
The commission has also selected a logo to go with the name, one designed by Jim Bockstall of Bockstall Design Associates.
