Recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach to transit
does not meet every community's needs, HART began working with Hillsborough
County residents last year to identify transportation options that are more
cost effective and better meet their needs.
Employment centers and
commuting patterns have changed quite a bit since the last time a Comprehensive
Operations Analysis of HART service was done in 2003. This service redesign takes that into account with new proposed connections, such as Brandon and the University area to WestShore and Tampa International Airport.
In the first phase, we collected community feedback on travel preferences and with this next phase, we are
taking the result of those conversations (a redesigned network) to the public.
In the short-term, the service redesign will provide better
travel times and more direct service to roughly 80% of current riders.
Plenty of opportunities to comment on the proposed redesign! |
HART is Seeking Input
HART will be hosting a series of public meetings beginning
June 14 for residents and riders to give feedback on the proposed network redesign. HART staff will be on hand to gather feedback and answer any questions. A
public hearing will be held on July 26.
Following extensive community outreach throughout June and July, HART staff will
present the plan to the HART Board of Directors at the August meeting.
Your ideas are encouraged at any of the following public meeting opportunities.
In addition, you can visit www.goHART.org/TDP for more
information on this important plan, including an interactive map of the proposed network redesign.
