Not a Cent for Public Transportation?

Hillsborough County Commissioners approved a plan Wednesday on how to spend $424 million on transportation needs.

The County collected nearly $570 million with a one-cent sales tax from January 2019 through February 2021.

Eventually, the sales tax was found to be unconstitutional. Since then, the funds have been in an interest-bearing bank account.

Commissioners voted on a plan to spend $130 million to Repave Roads, $40 million to repair sidewalks, $34 million to repair or replace bridges, $74 Million for intersection safety, $34 Million for corridor safety, and $103 Million to reduce congestion.
