THE board of South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) has awarded Transdev's US rail infrastructure maintenance subsidiary VTMI a $US 161m contract to maintain track, signalling, and structures on the 115km Tri-Rail commuter line from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
The seven-year contract includes an option for an extension and enables VTMI to provide SFRTA with other support services for infrastructure or modernisation.
VTMI will take over maintenance activities from April this year, initially employing a team of around 100 staff.
