Construction is well under way on the new SunRail commuter rail station in Poinciana behind the WaWa store near the intersection of U.S. 17-92 and Poinciana Boulevard.
The scheduled start of service is early next year. By boarding a train there, commuters will be able to travel to various spots in the Orlando area.
There are plans to have local transit serve the station, providing a multi-modal element.
There has been interest in eventually expanding the line south to Haines City to provide more access to Polk residents, but there is no funding or schedule for that project.
