Happy to see some of the efforts underway (and planned) to make this area more bicycle and pedestrian friendly, but am disappointed to not see anything mentioning some kind of bus (or other service) linking downtown St. Petersburg directly to Tampa International Airport. How can that not be part of the future transportation vision for this area?
Thank you for your interest – there is a regional express bus route planned to link downtown St. Petersburg to TIA, but it is not funded at this time. However, the route has been identified as a regional transit priority and PSTA is currently seeking partners and alternative funding sources to be able to begin the service.
