| The Regional Transit Feasibility Plan is not just another study! |
- Projects that have the greatest potential to be funded (compete for federal grants) and implemented
- Projects that are the most forward thinking and make the best use of today’s technology
- Projects that best serve our region today while supporting tomorrow’s growth
The Florida Department of Transportation is funding the study, while Hillsborough (HART, Hillsborough County MPO), Pinellas (PSTA, Pinellas County MPO), Pasco (PCPT, Pasco MPO), and the Tampa Bay TMA Leadership Group are stakeholders on the project.
Step One was recently completed, identifying the top 5 "most attractive" corridors. An overview (with narration) of the identified corridors can be found here. The Technical Bulletin can be found here.
Step Two is now underway, focusing on a sensitivity
analysis of the five connections to assign transit modes that make the most
sense. This effort will continue into the coming months.
Once transit modes are assigned to the top performing
connections, the next steps will focus on evaluating the modes, developing high
level cost estimates, determining implementation feasibility, and estimating
ridership and mobility.

Extend the Crosstown to downtown St. Petersburg and open the railroad from downtown Tampa to downtown St. Pete. Put a stop at Mac Dill Field in between.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see much in this presentation about conectivity to TIA. Also, a lot of emphasis on proximity to employment and residence centers but no analysis of tourist/visitor transportation. Some, more cynical than me, have suggested undo pressure from the car rental lobby, but I have no evidence of that. Still...
