B. Transit Planning and Coordination

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

The Pasco County MPO is planning to evaluate transit needs and support GO PASCO in developing transit plans and programs. This initiative includes assessing transportation projects in Environmental Justice Areas, coordinating with regional transit agencies like TBARTA, and studying potential intermodal centers. The plan also involves participation in the US 19 Regional Rapid Transit Study and exploring microtransit access. Further activities include reviewing grant agreements, managing consultants, and attending transit-related seminars. This is an early planning stage, with activities scheduled from July 2024 through June 2026. The scope of work will involve extensive planning, data collection, analysis, and coordination. Local businesses in engineering, consulting, and administrative support could find opportunities. Engaging early allows contractors and suppliers to understand project needs before formal bids and permits are finalized.
