HART is inviting residents to help shape the future of public transportation in Hillsborough County. Beginning Monday, March 2, through Friday, April 3, 2026, community members can participate in an online survey and attend in-person Vision Workshops to share their ideas and priorities for transit improvements over the next decade.
HART is updating its Vision Plan in 2026 to establish a list of strategic priorities that will guide how and where public transportation grows in the years ahead. The plan will explore potential service frequency improvements, new routes, alternative service types, and enhancements to the overall rider experience.
While many of the proposed projects identified in the Vision Plan may currently be unfunded, public input will play a critical role in shaping HART’s long-term direction and future investment priorities.
Take the Survey
The primary way to participate is by completing the online survey at HARTVisionPlan.com between March 2 and April 3, 2026.
At the end of the survey, participants may enter for a chance to win a $150 gift card.
Attend a Vision Workshop
In addition to the survey, HART will host 10 interactive Vision Workshops throughout March and early April. These sessions will provide opportunities for deeper discussion and feedback tailored to specific communities across the county.
All workshops will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. at the following locations:
