Bus Rapid Transit In Tampa Bay
On this week's acronym-rich podcast, we're talking about the future of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Tampa Bay with Dennis Hinebaugh, the program director for transit research at CUTR, The Center for Urban Transportation Research, and the Director of CUTR's National Bus Rapid Transit Institute (NBRTI); Brad Miller, the CEO of the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA); and Sharon Calvert, co-founder of the Hillsborough County tea party and a longtime critic of expensive transit projects. Dennis tells Florida Matters host Robin Sussingham that BRT is not the consolation prize for a failed push for light rail in the area, but a real transit solution.
