The Orlando International Airport to Orange County Convention Center maglev train is a proposed US$400 million magnetic levitation train system that will connect the Orlando International Airport and the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, with a stop at the Florida Mall.[2][3] The privately funded 13.8-mile (22.2 km) train line will be built by American Maglev Technology and is expected to be operational by 2017.[4][5][6][7] When completed, the train will be the first commercial maglev system in North America.[8]

On December 9, 2015, the Orlando International Airport board voted unanimously to begin negotiations for right-of-way for a new light-rail system to connect to I-Drive and the convention center, rather than a maglev.[9]
