Tampa Bay Sierra Club On Our Transportation Planning

"The Tampa Bay region pays a high price to remain the only major metropolitan area in America without a viable public transportation system. Permissive development policies in Hillsborough County created sprawling, cul-de-sac subdivisions that frustrate public transportation planning. Tampa will not attract the best and brightest entrepreneurs and professionals so essential to a vibrant, thriving economy if we continue to ignore their desire for walkable, bicycle friendly communities and a modern public transit system."
