  Community Input Sparks Revisions  to Proposed October Transit System Redesign
Coming in October: A Transformational System Redesign that Prepares HART for the Future

Based on community feedback, the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority (HART) staff has recommended multiple revisions to its 2018 proposed transit system redesign plan, which is intended to improve service delivery and, in turn the customer experience. The redesigned bus network will better serve today's customer and prepare the HART network to meet future needs.

The redesigned system is the result of careful data analysis and robust community outreach. Over the past 6 weeks, HART staff conducted over 40 outreaches, interacted with over 1,000 people and received nearly 500 written comments. Last week, approximately 150 people attended the HART public hearing and provided valuable input resulting in HART staff making reasonable revisions to the proposal being presented to the HART Board on August 7.

"We are grateful that the community provided meaningful and in-depth feedback. The assessment of the public comments was a crucial part of our process-collect public recommendations and input that has helped reshape the final redesigned bus network plan," explained HART CEO Katharine Eagan.
The fundamental strategy of the plan is to shift service from low-performing routes to areas where there is higher demand. The redesigned transit system will provide quicker trips to key destinations, and more frequency on core routes. Almost all our local routes will run seven days a week, weekend service will run from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and all current weekend late night routes will continue to operate until midnight.

The HART Board of Directors will vote on the final plan for the redesigned bus network plan at the Monday, August 7, 2017 board meeting. If approved, the proposal would be scheduled for implementation on Sunday, October 8, 2017.

Please note: Due to an expected overflow crowd, the HART Board meeting scheduled for August 7,has been moved to County Center, 601 E. Kennedy Blvd., 2nd Floor Board Room Tampa, FL 33602.
