The Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART), the operator of the TECO Line Streetcar, invites riders, residents, and stakeholders to participate in a public hearing on Thursday, November 7 from 5:30pm – 7:00pm at the HART Ybor Administrative Offices to discuss TECO Line Streetcar fare-reinstatement.
For the past six years, the TECO Line Streetcar has offered fare-free rides. However, after the expiration of several Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) grants, discussions concerning fare-reinstatement are underway.
HART and the TECO Line Streetcar encourages the public to submit feedback on this issue by taking an online survey. Additionally, If you’re unable to attend the hearing, you can view the meeting live on HARTS official YouTube channel.
