Resilient Tampa Bay Transportation
In March 2019, the Tri-County TMA (Transportation Management Area) comprised of the Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco MPOs, FDOT, and TBPRC received a FHWA administration grant to conduct a regional transportation vulnerability analysis. Hillsborough MPO went through this process in 2014 and the effort is being expanded into the Tampa Bay Region. We are one of 11 pilots competitively selected from around the county.
