The board of South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) has awarded Transdev's U.S. rail infrastructure maintenance subsidiary, VTMI a $161 million contract to maintain track, signaling, and structures on the 71-mile Tri-Rail regional rail line from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale and Miami, on Florida's east coast.
The seven-year contract includes an option for an extension and enables VTMI to provide SFRTA with other support services for infrastructure or modernization.
VTMI will take over maintenance activities beginning this April, initially employing a team of around 100 staff.
