HART to Implement Service Changes June 7

HART will implement service changes on Sunday, June 7, 2026, to improve frequency on a high-ridership route, support better on-time performance, and enhance the customer experience.

These changes are the result of HART’s year-long Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA), which reviewed the transit system based on current market conditions and input from customers, employees, and stakeholders. 

Frequency Improvements

Route 38 – Mango/Brandon
Route 38 will now operate every 30 minutes on weekdays.

Schedules Changes

Schedule adjustments will be made to Routes 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 30, 33, 37, 38, 45, 46, 48, and 360LX.

Route 46 – Brandon Blvd.
The last westbound trip, previously scheduled at 10:45 p.m. to Brandon Mall, will be removed on weekdays and weekends. The last westbound trip will now be 9:51 p.m. There are no routing changes.

Route 360LX – Brandon/South Tampa
Route 360LX will begin service one hour earlier on weekdays. The first westbound trip from J.C. Handly Park Park-n-Ride will depart at 5:15 a.m. There are no routing changes.

Service Elimination

Routes 24LX and 25LX will no longer be in service. Customers may use Route 360LX as an alternative from J.C. Handly Park-n-Ride to Downtown Tampa and MacDill Air Force Base, with weekday service approximately every hour from 5:15 a.m. to 10 p.m. Enterprise Vanpool is also available.

HART is also evaluating opportunities to apply these resources to additional improvements in future service changes.

Routing Changes

Route 5 – 40th St. and Route 12 – 22nd St. will turn left from Palm Avenue to 22nd Street for northbound trips in Ybor City.

HART Joins Sunflower Program to Support Riders with Non-Visible Disabilities

In recognition of Autism Acceptance Month, HART is proud to announce its participation in the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program—an important step forward in its ongoing commitment to accessibility for all customers.

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program is a global initiative designed to support individuals living with non-visible disabilities, such as autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, multiple sclerosis, and more. The program uses a simple but powerful symbol: a green lanyard with yellow sunflowers. When worn, it discreetly signals that the individual may need additional assistance, patience, or understanding—without requiring them to explain their condition.

“At HART, we are committed to ensuring every rider feels supported and respected,” said Frank Wyszynski, HART Manager of Marketing and Communications. “Joining the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program is an important step in building a more welcoming and accessible transit system for everyone in Hillsborough County.”

HART is among the first transit agencies in the nation to adopt the program, further demonstrating its leadership in advancing accessible public transportation.

This effort builds on HART’s broader HART For All initiative, which focuses on creating a more inclusive transit experience. Many HART operators are already familiar with the sunflower symbol through its use at Tampa International Airport. Now, with expanded training across the organization, more employees will be equipped to recognize the symbol and respond with empathy and support.

As part of the program, sunflower lanyards are now available to customers upon request and can be used throughout the HART system. Riders can pick up a lanyard at HART Customer Service locations at the Marion Transit Center or the University Area Transit Center.

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program operates year-round, working with organizations worldwide to raise awareness, provide training, and share stories that foster understanding and inclusion.

By joining this global movement, HART continues to take meaningful steps toward ensuring that public transportation is accessible, welcoming, and supportive for everyone—because every rider deserves to feel seen.
