TRAC Mission

The citizen-led Transportation and Redevelopment Action Committee (TRAC) has been working to start a community conversation on transit oriented development and smart growth through a case study of the Bee Ridge Road corridor. TRAC finished this study in April 2009. You can read our final report here.

The goal of the Bee Ridge Case Study was to inspire stakeholders in the Bee Ridge Corridor and beyond to envision a Bee Ridge Road that would better serve the adjoining neighborhoods and the whole community—both as a transportation corridor and as a place where people might live, work, shop and play. This community input helped to create a “roadmap” for elected officials, the business community and citizens to move Bee Ridge into the future.

Now, TRAC has moved into our second phase - connecting our supporters to transportation related news, articles and events that happen in Sarasota County. To that end, we publish a biweekly e-newsletter. If you would like to recieve that newsletter in your inbox, please email Kate at kirwin (at) scopexcel (dot) org.
