Airports fast-track rail projects

I travel some and when I do I like to take public transportation. That usually starts with a plane... I prefer taking a train into the "downtown area" over a cab... so this USA Today article is good news

Airports fast-track rail projects and it starts off with TPA - the Tampa airport that I use.
