All Aboard! Brightline Boca Raton Station Now Open

Today begins the first day of service for the highly anticipated Brightline Boca Raton Station! Located at 101 NW 4th Street, Boca Raton, FL 33423, the station is steps away from everything in Downtown Boca, connecting visitors and commuters to all the city has to offer and residents to neighboring cities to enjoy.

Additional information about the station, tickets and parking can be found on GoBrightline.com.

Yesterday, City Council and staff joined representatives from Brightline, community partners and other dignitaries for the official ribbon cutting of the Brightline station. Watch the video below to see some highlights from the big day!

As part of the Brightline Boca Raton Station opening, the City enhanced NW 1st Avenue with a $3.9 million beautification project, which was completed within 12 months. Improvements include:

• New signalized intersection to improve traffic at NW 1st Ave. and NW 2nd St.
• Landscape and irrigation upgrades
• New shade trees, lighting, bike racks and benches

• Pedestrian enhancements including sidewalks and shared use paths ranging in width from 6' - 12'
• Shared travel lanes for bicyclists with the addition of bike boxes
• Utility relocations

For more on the project WATCH the video below or visit the City's website.

Remember, whether you're taking the Brightline to another destination or simply in the area, be sure to stop by the newly installed mural on the north wall connecting the station and the parking garage.

See Tracks? Think Train!

In the U.S., about every three hours, a person or vehicle is hit by a train. Whether you are walking, driving, or riding a bike, STAYING SAFE around railroad tracks is easy if you follow the rules. Remember these simple safety tips to keep yourself and others safe near the tracks.



Stay Alert

Keep your eyes on the road when near train tracks – STAY OFF your phone and put away headphones or earbuds.

Don’t Stop on the Tracks

Drivers should NEVER stop on the tracks – don’t proceed unless you can fully cross the tracks. If you find yourself stuck on the tracks, get out of your vehicle and to a safe spot, immediately.

Obey Railroad Signals & Signs

Mind the signals. They are there for a reason – to keep people SAFE. Never try to go around lowered gates or pass flashing lights.

Never Walk on Railroad Tracks

Walking on the tracks is UNSAFE and illegal and can result in fines, injury or death.

Cross at the Crosswalks

The ONLY safe place to cross the tracks is at a designated crossing – use them.
