Merging our MPO with Pinellas & Pasco is a bad idea. This is on the agenda at TBARTA next Friday in Tampa, August 24 at 9:30 in the HART boardroom in Ybor City. See the short video above about this Title 6 issue.
I’m very concerned about a TBARTA/FDOT study pushing the idea of merging Hillsborough’s transportation planning organization, the MPO, with the Pinellas and Pasco County MPOs. A three-county MPO would drown out the voices of Hillsborough residents who have shown up by the hundreds to be heard by our MPO. This is a Title 6 issue because Hillsborough’s population is so much more diverse than Pinellas and Pasco.
