Tampa / Florida / United States
Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority was presented with the Livable Roadways Award 2005 from the Metropolitan Planning Organization. The HART bus system is primarily a hub and spoke system that serves Hillsborough County, Fla. It is based on a system of routes that connect at transfer centers placed at various locations around the urban parts of Hillsborough County to allow easy connectivity between buses. HART is in the process of upgrading each of these transfer centers to provide improved service, shelter, amenities and appearance. HART is also actively working to provide shelters at all major intersections with on-street transfer points and other high boarding locations on heavily traveled routes. Where feasible, the department incorporates and constructs bus bays to improve system efficiency where sufficient right-of-way exists. Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority is located in Tampa, Fla.
