Tampa

Perhaps best known for hosting Super Bowls and Gasparilla parades, housing MacDill Air Force Base and being home to professional sports teams and high profile athletes – the crown jewel of the Tampa Bay region is oh-so-much more. Tampa is on the verge of achieving many long-planned ambitions. Downtown redevelopment, the expansion of the city’s port and airport, a planned Interstate 4 Green Tech corridor and a substantial increase in research activities at the University of South Florida fuel its  progress. 

Go HART!

The Tampa Bay region is making progress toward integrating plans for high-speed rail, commuter rail, air travel and bus service. But first it needed to improve its bus and streetcar system and the agency that coordinates all of it recently won an award from the state for those efforts. Efficiency, effectiveness, customer service, financial management are just some of the areas of achievement that have earned Hillsborough Area Regional Transit, known as HART, the title of Outstanding Transit System by the Florida Public Transportation Association.
