Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• All Aboard Florida Rail Operations - Transit Center Multi-Modal Coordination
• 2: The center shall share transfer cluster and transfer point information with other transit centers. A transfer cluster is a collection of stop points, stations, or terminals where transfers can be made conveniently.
• 4: The center shall coordinate schedules and services with other transit centers.


• BCT Transit Systems - Transit Center Multi-Modal Coordination
