Evansville joins nationwide Celebrate Trails Day initiative
Several organizations and the Evansville Area Trails Coalition is taking part in Celebrate Trails Day at Burdette Park. It's a day of action to showcase the amenities which some say improve the quality of life for residents.
The local organizations are featuring the USI-Burdette trail to keep everyone informed about the resource, especially if they live on the other side of town.
'What's wonderful about it is that we get to feature and bring to light some of our local amenities. Some of the people on the far east side may not know or have experienced this trail. We're highlighting this trail so that people can come with other trail blazers if you want to walk or bike or roll and just experience nature while they're out on a multi-use trail,' says Evansville Area Trails Coalition Executive Director Lorie Van Hook.
Van Hook says there's upcoming urban hikes over the summer. That includes Walk & Bike to School Day coming up on May 7. Learn more at walkbikeevv.org.

Tri-Rail has made two recent changes. What to know if you ride the train
South Florida's commuter train has had added a new route and is also reminding riders to pay up. In 2024, Tri-Rail rolled out an extension to downtown Miami, which runs from Hialeah to the Brightline station. And without a turnstile and a potential budget crisis, the railway in 2025 has issued reminders on signs, conductor announcements and more random checks on board to buy a ticket to ride. Here's what to know: Tri-Rail to downtown Miami Tri-Rail, which runs mostly along the I-95 corridor from Palm Beach County to Miami International Airport, has rolled out a leg that takes travelers to downtown Miami. Route extension to downtown: The nine-mile extension runs from the Tri-Rail Metrorail Transfer Station, 2601 E. 11th Ave. in Hialeah, for the trip to downtown Miami. The $70 million taxpayer-funded new leg runs along the FEC railway corridor. The last Tri-Rail route expansion was to Miami International Airport in 2015. Stations: Tri-Rail trains from Hialeah will stop at MiamiCentral station, 600 NW First Ave. in downtown Miami. Brightline trains run from that station, with stops in Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and Orlando. The downtown Miami station connects with Miami-Dade Transit buses, Metrorail, and Metromover. MORE: Things to know about riding the rails in Miami Tri-Rail's traditional route Train service: Tri-Rail service, which started in 1989, stops at 18 stations through Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, from Miami International Airport through Golden Glades in Miami-Dade County, Hollywood through Deerfield Beach in Broward County, and Boca Raton and on to Mangonia Park Palm Beach County.

Frequent riders can buy 12-trip and monthly passes. Enforcement: Security officers on board make random ticket checks. Conductors also make occasional announcements on having a ticket to ride and signs are posted at stations. Taking Tri-Rail to South Florida airports Tri-Rail has stations that serve the Miami and Fort Lauderdale airports: ▪ Miami: If you take Tri-Trail to the Miami airport station, the MIA Mover, an elevated people mover, will take you to the terminals. Several transit options converge at the Miami Airport Tri-Rail station, including Miami-Dade Transit buses, Metro Connect car service and the Metrorail Orange Line. ▪ Fort Lauderdale: Broward airport shuttle: Free, seven-day-a-week shuttle bus service operated by Tri-Rail takes passengers from the Fort Lauderdale Airport station to theterminals at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
