The free route will extend trolley service from the Douglas Road Metrorail Station to Red Road (SW 57th Avenue) via Ponce de Leon Boulevard, improving access to key destinations including the University of Miami, medical offices, schools and other community hubs.<\/p>\n<p>The Southern Loop Trolley offers residents, students and visitors a no-cost, accessible and convenient transportation option that connects directly with Metrorail and the city\u2019s two existing trolley routes. The pilot reflects Coral Gables\u2019 commitment to innovation, connection and accessibility, enhancing mobility while supporting the City Beautiful\u2019s vision for a more sustainable and connected community.<\/p>\n<p>Funded in part by the Florida Department of Transportation, the one-year pilot will allow the city to evaluate ridership data and collect community feedback to determine whether to continue the route beyond the pilot period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new Southern Loop Trolley expands our community\u2019s mobility network and offers an easy, free and sustainable way to move around the city,\u201d said Monica Beltran, Parking, Sustainability and Mobility Services director. \u201cIt embodies our city\u2019s focus of innovation, accessibility and connection \u2014 ensuring everyone can enjoy Coral Gables safely and conveniently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information and to view the route map, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/coralgables.com\/southernlooptrolley\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">coralgables.com\/southernlooptrolley<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT US:<\/p>\n<p>For more Miami community news, look no further than Miami Community Newspapers.
