TBARTA’s Land Use Working Group is creating a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Resource Guide to help interested communities throughout the Tampa Bay Region better understand and prepare for TOD. The goal is to provide a menu of options for local jurisdictions to choose what will work best for them to promote compact neighborhoods with housing, jobs, shopping, community services, and recreational opportunities, all within easy walking distance (1/4-mile to 1/2-mile) of future transit stations.  Your unique insights on various tools and strategies are needed to improve the TOD Resource Guide.

The TBARTA Board of Directors has unanimously approved the 2011 Master Plan Update, a legislatively-mandated process that broadens the plan to incorporate the full spectrum of transportation in the Tampa Bay region, including freight, airports, seaports, air quality and roadways. The approval follows an extensive public engagement process that reached thousands of people in seven counties. Thank you to all who participated and shared their comments and suggestions, several of which were incorporated into the plan.
