The initialism MIC stands for Miami Intermodal Center in Florida transport documents. It names the transport centre, whose identity should be distinguished from a particular station project or service.
FDOT’s July 2024 policy-framework memorandum explicitly expands MIC as Miami Intermodal Center in its abbreviation list. Its September 2020 district handbook separately describes Miami Central Station as a project of that centre. Those names are related, but they do not make MIC, Miami Central Station and Miami International Airport interchangeable labels. Keep the particular place or project in a travel note, a caption or a project history. A dated planning passage also differs from current operating information. The 2020 handbook’s description of project responsibilities does not tell a traveller which services run today, their departure times or whether a proposed connection is possible. In an original fictional itinerary, a note naming MIC as the transfer location should retain that location without substituting the airport terminal. If a supplied project brief names a station component, summarize that component’s stated relationship rather than turning its milestone into the opening of every part of the centre.

Practical examples
Retain the transfer location
- Before
Invented itinerary: transfer location MIC; no airport terminal specified. Draft: The transfer is inside the airport terminal.
- After
The fictional itinerary names Miami Intermodal Center as the transfer location.
The supplied place label should not be replaced by a different facility without supporting route information.
Keep the date and project scope
- Before
Draft: The 2020 handbook’s station-project paragraph proves every current departure time at the centre.
- After
The handbook describes the station project in its 2020 programme context; it supplies no current departure timetable.
A project-responsibility description cannot answer a current service-time question.
