Visit the Tampa Bay Area's Transportation Lounge
TBARTA has just launched transportation lounge, a source for news and conversation regarding transportation in the Tampa Bay region. The website is meant to "provide an open forum for citizens to comment on all aspects of regional mobility and encourage a friendly dialogue regarding recent national and local news stories, videos, publications, examples and experiences of transportation from other regions." Don't let it supplant your local TRAC newsletter, though!
