Sousedství Flex

HART poskytuje službu HART Flex sestávající z dojíždějících dodávek, které mají trasy v určených oblastech. Walk-up služba je poskytována na pravidelných zastávkách HART na trase služby Flex, nebo si čtenáři mohou rezervovat vyzvednutí nebo odjezd v místě, které není zastávkou HART, voláním k rezervaci mezi 2 a 72 hodinami předem. Walk-up služba může být omezena počtem rezervací. Cena jízdného je 1 $ za cestu a celodenní flex pass je k dispozici za 2 $. Pro seniory není k dispozici žádná sleva, Medicare nebo deaktivováno jako na jiných trasách HART; až 3 děti do 6 let jsou zdarma s jezdcem platícím jízdné. Přijímáme pravidelné 1denní a 31denní průkazy HART. Obslužné oblasti jsou typicky 2,5 míle od přednastavené trasy, ačkoli alespoň jedna oblast Flex nemá konkrétní trasu.

Commuter Express

V roce 2004 společnost HART revidovala svůj systém expresních autobusových linek. Změny zahrnovaly nové trasy do Brandon a Pasco County, změny stávajících tras (například Route 28X) a přidání 12 nových autobusů Gillig BRT do stávajícího autobusového parku HART. Téměř všechny trasy Commuter Express spojené s Downtown Tampa. Expresní trasy poznáte podle příponových písmen na konci čísla (X znamená Express a LX znamená Limited Express). Některé expresní trasy fungují podle jízdního řádu Peak Direction brzy ráno a pozdě odpoledne. Jiné fungují podle celodenního plánu. Kvůli měnícím se vzorům cestujících byly tyto trasy podle potřeby upraveny. S rokem 2016 Mise MAX restrukturalizace byly odstraněny všechny trasy 21LX, 22X, 27LX, 28X, 47LX, 61LX a 200X. Trasy 60LX a 360LX byly do provozu v daný den Mise MAX byl založen. Jsou také prvními celodenními omezenými expresními trasami, které společnost HART zřídila sedm dní v týdnu a poskytuje zastávky do Brandonu, centra Tampa, mezinárodního letiště v Tampě a jižní Tampa. Route 275LX se stala třetí celodenní expresní cestou, která nahradila Route 51X obsluhující Wiregrass, UATC, Downtown Tampa a TIA. Mluví se také o NOVÉ Celodenní expresní trase obsluhující letiště Tampa, Westshore, Downtown Tampa a Plant City. I když oficiální datum operace není známo.

Služba MetroRapid

MetroRapid je služba HART „light“ Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), která byla spuštěna 28. května 2013. V období od 28. května do 7. června poskytla společnost HART zákazníkům možnost využívat MetroRapid zdarma. To umožnilo zákazníkům získat cit pro novou službu a zároveň umožnilo zaměstnancům HART vyřešit jakékoli problémy na poslední chvíli před zahájením služby příjmů. Společnost MetroRapid oficiálně zahájila službu příjmů 10. června 2013, a to formálním střihem pásky, který se konal v areálu Hidden River Corporate Park v Tampa Palms.

MetroRapid v současné době sestává z jedné linky, linky sever-jih (číslované jako Route 400), která jezdí z Downtown Tampa (MTC) do University Area Transit Center (UATC) přes Nebraska a Fletcher Avenue každý den, každých 15 minut. To nahradilo Route 2.

Tramvajový systém TECO Line

Tato služba je 2,7 míle tramvajové linky, která vede podél Downtown Tampa, přes Channel District a Ybor City. Systém obsahuje historické repliky tramvají původní tramvajové linky Tampa. Tramvaj TECO Line je nyní VOLNÝ, UVOLNIT s prodlouženými ranními a pozdními nočními hodinami.

V jeho rozkvětu tampaské tramvaje šlehaly cestující do az Ybor City, Ballast Point, Hyde Parku, Sulphur Springs a dalších. Vozy Birney, ovládané uniformovanými průvodci, byly vítaným pohledem a známým řinčením tramvajového zvonu byla hudba pro uši. Jízda tramvají znamenala cítit puls komunity.

První elektrické tramvajové linky v Tampě postavené v roce 1892 se rychle staly nedílnou součástí každodenního života, když dělníci jeli tramvají do centra a do doutnických továren v západní Tampě. A rodiny vylezly na palubu na piknik nebo míčovou hru v parcích DeSoto a Macfarlane. Tramvajový systém Tampy, který dosáhl vrcholu své popularity ve 20. letech 20. století s téměř 24 miliony cestujících v roce 1926, se zastavil v srpnu 1946 po druhé světové válce.

Dnes jsou v Tampě zpět elektrické tramvaje, které podporují pokračující růst v Downtown, Channel District a Ybor City. Tramvajový systém TECO Line je úsek dlouhý 2,7 míle, který spojuje tyto tři oblasti, zlepšuje přepravní kapacitu, podporuje prosperující odvětví plavebního průmyslu v Tampě a přepravuje pracovníky do zaměstnání a zpět

Pozdní noční služba

V roce 2006 zavedla společnost HART autobusovou dopravu v nočních hodinách na devět místních autobusových linek, aby uspokojila různé potřeby svých patronů. Některé z těchto tras nyní jezdí až ve 12 hodin ráno, což má za následek nárůst provozu. Od roku 2007 se počet tras provozujících služby ve všední den po 20:00 zvýšil na 16 tras.

Autobusové terminály / dopravní střediska

The Marion Transit Center in northern Downtown Tampa is HART's main hub.

Like many transit agencies, HART has operated its bus system similar to a rozbočovač a mluvil Modelka. However, with system redesigns taking place in 2005 and 2017, the reliance on traditional hubs has lessened in favor of a grid-based system where transfers are done at key intersections and corridors. The main hub for HART is the Marion Transit Center v Downtown Tampa, serving 16 local and express routes (including PSTA's 100X and 300X) from 17 Bus Platforms (Platform A-N surrounding the station and the East, North and West Platforms), and also serves as stops for Megabus (Route M85) and RedCoach. The center was constructed in 2001, replacing the obsolete Northern Terminal, which sat underneath the I-275 viaduct. The Marion Transit Center includes a customer service center, office space, bus driver lounge, restrooms, bus shelters, and an array of public art displays and flanks the northern end of the Marion Street Transitway, which was constructed in 1989 as a "fare free" zone (though the designation was eliminated in 2008). Was under construction where the station is being resurfaced since November 4th, 2019 and completed construction on June 1st, 2020. Serving Routes 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 19, 30, 20X, 60LX, 275LX, 360LX, PSTA Routes 100X and 300X, and the MetroRapid North-South Line. HARTPlus also serves the station since June 8th.

Other major bus terminals include:

The University Area Transit Center west of the USF Zdravotní středisko.

• University Area Transit Center: Constructed in the late 1990s and located in the USF area (within the quadrant of 131st Ave, Livingston Ave, N 27th St, and 132nd Ave), the UATC is the transfer point for 10 local bus routes. This facility includes bus shelters, restrooms, and a customer service center. Prior to the UATC's construction, HART spent several years juggling around several different locations as a transfer point in the University area, including University Mall. However, the University Mall plan failed to materialize due to financial problems and community opposition. [3] [4] [5].. Serving Routes 1, 5, 6, 9, 12, 33, 42, 48, 275LX and the MetroRapid North-South Line.
• NetPark Transfer Center: Located in east Tampa (off 56th Street and Hillsborough Ave), this facility is a transfer point for 8 local routes and includes restrooms, phones, and vending machines and will serve as a stop for HART's MetroRapid system. Serving Routes 6, 15, 32, 34, 37, 38, 39 and 48.

The West Tampa Transfer Center on the northeast corner of Himes & Ohio Avenues across from Stadion Raymonda Jamese.

• West Tampa Transfer Center: Located right next to Raymond James Stadium. Permanently closed following the Mission MAX system redesign in 2017. HART currently has no immediate intention to reactivate the hub and could sell the land in the distant future for redevelopment if longer-term plans deem it necessary to do so. During the Tampa Bay Buccaneers home games, the station will be open for HART MVP Express which operate for $10 round trip. Northbound trips on Routes 32, 36 and 45 have closest bus stops to provide entrance to Raymond James while Route 7 has stops on MLK Blvd/Himes Ave when events are available (Effective 8/16/2019)
• Northwest Transfer Center: Located on the corner of Sheldon Road and Waters Ave, the Northwest Transfer Center replaced the makeshift bus depot at Hanley/Waters Plaza. Construction began in the spring of 2007 and was dedicated/opened to patrons July 29, 2008 [6]. The new facility is equipped with vending machines, restrooms for both patrons and employees, an adjacent park-n-ride lot and 4 local bus routes, and eight bus loading bays. Serving Routes 16, 34, 35, 39, Town-N-Country FLEX service, and the PSTA Tampa/Oldsmar Flex Connector.
• Mezinárodní letiště Tampa Rental Car Facility Bus Hub: Located on the grounds of TPA Airport, adjacent to the new Rental Car Facility, five bus loading bays along a straightaway drive allows for loading and unloading of transit buses, with future expansion in mind. Customers can easily connect to and from the airport terminal via SkyConnect. Serving Routes 30, 32, 35, 60LX, 275LX, and PSTA Route 300X.

Secondary Bus Terminals

• WestShore Plaza - WestShore Business District: Routes 15, 45, and South Tampa FLEX.
• Britton Plaza - Jižní Tampa /Interbay: Routes 17, 19, 36, 360LX, South Tampa FLEX, and PSTA Route 100X.
• SouthShore Regional Service Center - SouthShore/Ruskin: Routes 31 and SouthShore FLEX.
• Westfield Brandon - Brandon: Routes 8, 31, 37, 46, 75LX, and Brandon FLEX.
• Yukon Transfer Center - Sulphur Springs: Routes 14, 16, 42, and 45.

The Marion Street Transitway

Constructed in the 1980s, the Marion Street Transitway provides a line of bus shelters along the street to allow patrons to easily board and deboard buses within Downtown Tampa. The transitway runs from the Marion Transit Center to Whiting Street and was originally a "fare-free" zone until 2008. All of the shelters along the transitway were equipped with departure time signage at one time, allowing patrons to view when the next bus would arrive. Such technology in the past have malfunctioned and were removed as a result. The remaining "shells" of this signage will eventually be removed as well, being replaced with new technology.

Ocenění

In 2009, the Florida Public Transit Association awarded HART with the "Outstanding System" award. The award was granted to HART based on numerous system improvements and growing ridership over the past three years. The FPTA also awarded HART in several other categories including marketing, safety, and Mechanic of the Year. [7]

On May 27, 2010, HART announced that they have been awarded the 2010 "Most Outstanding Mid-sized Public Transportation System Achievement" Award. The award touts HART's achievements in ridership growth, financial management, environmental sustainability, workforce development, and community relations. The Americká asociace veřejné dopravy honors one public transportation system in North America in three size categories every year. Systems are judged on their performance over a 3-year period. [8]

Budget cuts and system reorganization (2007 through 2011)

Like many local agencies throughout Florida, HART was forced in 2007 to cut its budget by $1.7 million. As a result of this, HARTflex service was canceled and numerous routes saw drawbacks in service. Limited Express Route 52 and Trolley Route 98 were eliminated due to low ridership.

During the 2009/2010 fiscal year, HART slashed another $3 million from its budget in order to compensate for additional property tax revenue losses. This move was achieved by trimming service in Town-N-Country and North Tampa, as well as cutting underutilized trips on numerous routes [9].

To counteract plummeting property tax revenues, HART proposed to switch to a sales tax-based system which many other transit agencies in Florida already use. However, this proposal requires voter approval and the chances of such a move passing during the nationwide recession is extremely low. HART and Hillsborough County attempted to pass such a measure during the 2010 election season, but it failed by a 58/42% margin [10].

Despite drawbacks caused by state and county mandated budget cuts and the global recession, HART is striving to improve transit service in the future by managing existing service while only cutting under-performing service and gradually raising fares. HART's 2008 Community Report^{[trvalý mrtvý odkaz ]} outlined several key changes, such as the introduction of HARTflex service and the upcoming MetroRapid system.

Since 2010, a majority of HART's routes have been realigned to better serve patrons throughout the county. These changes included eliminating inefficient segments and trips, realigning travel times, and adding services that would better serve patrons in the long term. Several under-performing routes (such as Neighborhood Connector routes 87, 88, and 89) were eliminated in favor of neighboring transit routes, HARTflex service, or (in the case of Route 59LX) by improved services (Route 61LX). HART also began testing a limited stop route, Route 6LTD, to replace Route 23X.^[6]

Mission MAX (2017-2020 System-wide Restructuring)

With many fiscal impacts looming to negatively impact HART's future plans and budgeting - including, but no limited to: reducing the size of the agency's debts, preparing for possible reductions in property tax revenues and federal transit funding support, and the national trend of declining transit ridership - the agency announced in early 2017 that it would launch a Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) of the entire system as part of its next Transit Development Plan (TDP) update. This analysis allowed HART to essentially evaluate every route in the system to see which ones can be improved and which ones would have to be eliminated based on ridership levels and demand. Public outreach began during the spring of 2017 and continued through the summer - eventually leading up to the announcement of a system-wide restructuring effort called Mission MAX, which focuses on modernizing the system to operate with less reliance on traditional transfer hubs and more on a grid system, shorten travel times on key core routes, eliminate out-of-direction travel, and provide more direct service to key destinations. Mission MAX will also provide HART with the foundation that it needs to better analyze and execute future expansion endeavors [11].

Plány

HART has the following projects planned to begin service within the next five years.

West Shore Multi-Modal Center

HART and the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority have been discussing plans to build a transfer center at Tampa International Airport since 2008. Originally, the facility was to be located at the corner of O'Brien and Spruce streets [12]^{[trvalý mrtvý odkaz ]} but was dropped in 2011 in favor of a site closer to the TIA terminal. [13] Plans for any type of transfer center on TIA property collapsed in 2012 following the impact of global economic downturn and the consolidation of the airline industry on TIA's broad terminal expansion plans. In March, 2013, plans were unveiled for a possible Multi-Modal center along Interstate 275 in the WestShore Business District that could cater to multiple bus connections, light rail or commuter rail lines, and a People Mover system connecting the airport. This plan is heavily dependent on whether public transit in both Hillsborough and Pinellas counties are able to further expand. This in-turn, would be dependent on future funding situations [14][15]. As of 2020, the multi-modal center remains a part of the Florida Department of Transportation 's Tampa Bay NEXT interstate-based transportation plan.

Inteligentní dopravní systémy

According to HART's 2008 Community Report, efforts are currently underway to construct an intelligent transportation system (SVÉ). Elements of this project include installing surveillance cameras and audio monitoring equipment, GPS systems, automated annunciator systems, real-time information display signs and other elements to all HART buses and several transfer centers. Such systems will allow patrons in the future to see in real-time, upcoming departures, major intersections, landmarks, and connecting routes. Many of these elements, including GPS, security, and automated annunciator systems were installed during the course of 2008 through 2010.

Bus fleet reorganization/improvements

Bus #2223 (Gillig Low Floor - 30ft) in the blue/white livery similar to that of the purple Commuter Express buses. The Gillig Phantom bus behind it was retired in September 2009.

Another improvement to HART's existing bus fleet is the repainting of buses to better match the livery that is already carried by Commuter Express buses. However, instead of the purple and white livery of the express buses, local buses are being repainted in a blue and white scheme (matching the colors of HART's logo). Bus #2015 was the first bus to be painted in the new colors, returning to service in August 2008, upon the receipt of federal stimulus funds in 2009, HART accelerated the repainting process, allowing more buses to sport the new livery.

In 2008, the agency acquired 12 25-foot Champion/Freightliner T-300 buses (from Rychlá přeprava v oblasti Dallasu ) to be used on the fixed-route system while its existing fleet was repainted. These buses were retired in March and April 2010, with the arrival of the 29 40-foot 2010 model (10XX) Gillig Low Floor buses.

Beginning in August 2009, HART retired its fleet of Gillig Phantom buses, which the agency purchased in 1996 and 1997 to replace Flixible Metro buses purchased during the 1980s. These buses were replaced by 30 2009 model (29XX) year 40-foot (12 m) Gillig Low Floor buses that were purchased with the help of federal stimulus funds. Although seven of the 30-foot (9.1 m) Phantoms were already taken out of service in 2007, HART kept three (#s 602, 608, and 609) in service beyond that time. By mid September, 2009, all of the 30-foot (9.1 m) Gillig Phantom buses were retired, along with most of the 35-foot (11 m) models. The final nine buses that were phased out during the week of September 30, 2009 included #s 703, 708, 711, 713, 717, 720, 723, 725, and 726, with #725 being featured at HART's 30th Anniversary Ceremony on September 30.

In 2010, HART retired all but two of its 2000 model (20XX) 30 ft Gillig buses after the arrival of the 10XX Gillig fleet. Bus #2005 and #2015 (which were repainted in HART's new livery) will remain active until 2012, due to extended downtime earlier on in 2008/2009. In 2009, bus #2006 was retired due to an accident that permanently put it out of service. During the summer and fall of 2010, the 25XX and 26XX buses were all repainted in HART's blue and white livery. The MetroRapid system will bring forth another fleet of new buses, including the possibility of articulated buses further down the road.

In 2014, HART began purchasing Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) transit buses, along with a small fleet of CNG powered paratransit vans. In total as of 2020, there are 70 CNG powered buses in the fleet, though one (# 1708) was retired earlier in the year due to severe accident damage.

In 2020, the agency received a $2.7 million dollar federal grant to purchase 4 electric buses [16]. These buses are expected to be on the road by 2022, though it is unclear which manufacturer will be selected to produce them.

American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009

HART is slated to receive just over $15 million from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 that President Barack Obama signed into law in February 2009. Among the improvements that HART proposed to make: an expansion and upgrade to its operations facility in Ybor City, secure the purchase of 30 forty-foot Gillig Low Floor buses, streetcar extension, and the repainting of HART's existing fleet. ([17] )

Conversion to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)

In November, 2011, HART was awarded a $2.3 million federal grant to build a CNG fueling station at its operations facility. This will allow all of HART's existing fleet to gradually be replaced by CNG fueled vehicles. Construction is slated to begin sometime in 2012, with completion in 2013 [18].

TRANSitFORMATION

In September 2019, HART has several plans for the future of transportation in Hillsborough County under the hashtag #TRANSitFORMATION. Some of these plans include improvements and added services on select routes, more detailed information and improvements in bus shelters, adding electric bus pilots to their fleet and replacing select gas/diesel fuel buses, adding more Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) routes along Florida Ave, Nebraska Ave and Fowler Ave. also, HART has planned future commuter passenger rail or high speed rail transport across Hillsborough and its neighboring counties among the CSX rail corridor and possible future extensions for the TECO Streetcar Line.

Active fleet

• As of November 2010, all local/express HART buses are in the blue and white livery (except if the bus has an advertisement like Morgan & Morgan, 1-800-411-PAIN, etc. Or if some units have special liveries to support the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the Tampa Bay Lightning). Trolley buses are in a similar pale blue/white livery, and MetroRapid buses are in a green/gray/white livery. (As Of May 2019 Only Some MetroRapid Units are in the MetroRapid Livery.) Since the May 2019 incident, most buses have protection driver doors to protect it's operator from future offenses.
