HART, County Seek Input on Transportation INitiatives

The Hillsborough County Commission is seeking public input on transportation projects that would be funded by a potential future one-cent transit sales tax. The Transportation Task Force has been meeting and seeking public input since 2008 to create a list of prioritized projects around the County.

The recommended projects include transit and non-transit projects, such as light rail, bus service expansion, roadways, intersections and supporting projects. The one percent sales tax will be split 75 percent for transit and 25 percent for non-transit.

A series of public meetings will be held around the county starting in early February. At the meetings, the County and Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART), in cooperation with local municipalities, will hold an open house for the first hour to show maps and information on the proposed projects. A video presentation will follow with an additional opportunity to discuss the particular projects in-depth and provide comment.
