The raffic is an unbelievable nighmare!! The hope for his ferry is he only reason I haven' moved away from he area. The curren roadways do no suppor he volume of people working on MacDill and he downown and i only coninues o worsen. I shouldn' ake me 1.5 hours o ge o work.

Please include ferry service and bus connecions in he Transporaion Developmen Plan. DT, airpor and shule I'm shocked his projec hasn' come o fruiion ye. I suppor his happening and would use i daily. Please make i happen. I live in Apollo Beach and work on MacDill AFB. I endure an ever increasing amoun of raffic on a daily basis ravelling eiher Hwy 41 or I-75. I was very excied o learn of he plan o develop a ferry sysem ha would raverse Tampa Bay from Gibsonon o MacDill AFB, as well as Channelside. Such a sysem would make my daily ransi far less sressful, no o menion i would alleviae he congesion ha is seadily growing on Hwy 41 due o he seady expansion of housing in he Gibsonon/Apollo Beach/Riverview area. PLEASE include ferry service and bus connecions o hem in he Transporaion Developmen Plan. I live in Riverview and work a MacDill AFB... This ferry projec would be ousanding for MacDill AFB employees. All members ha I know who live in he Apollo Beach, Riverview area would absoluely use his service. I currenly drive 55-65 minues daily o ge o work and spend roughly $70 a monh on olls. Please undersand ha he ferry projec would be a huge, fanasic opporuniy o do some good for he environmen, and save governmen employees money on fuel, olls, and ime.
I wan o voice my suppor for a ferry service o MacDill and possibly S. Peersburg and Tampa as well. Like mos mass ransi, hese ferries will make i easier and cheaper for our blue collar workers (namely miliary) o ge o work while producing less polluion and reducing raffic on our roads. I would also raise he qualiy of living for our roops as hey will be able o live furher from MacDill where real esae is more affordable. S. Peersburg and Tampa connecions would help rejuvenae hose criical downown areas wih added foo raffic in he evenings. Many major ciies already suppor ferry services like his. We have a unique geographical opporuniy o do he same wih Tampa, MacDill, and S. Peersburg. Please plan o suppor he ferry service wih bus and/or rail a is erminals as appropriae. I am a residen of Riverview and I am srongly in favor of he ferry service o Mc Dil and Environs I will be a boos o o ransporaion and an asse o he Communiy aking a lo of raffic from our roads and providing a peace of mind.

Please include ferry service and bus connecions o hem in he Transporaion Developmen Plan and le's ge his projec underway!!! As a realor in he Tampa Bay area I hink ha a Sysem in he souhern area of he Bay would be very Beneficial o he over all communiy and economy. Would need some specifics on he operaion of he, bu if done like oher sysems ha I have seen i would be grea. I wholehearedly suppor he proposed ferry service from he Souh Shore (Apollo Beach) area o Downown Tampa as a commuer ferry. I undersand here is mosly alk of he ferry servicing MacDill bu here is a real need o a commuer ferry o downown Tampa during rush hours as well! I am sending his email o express my suppor for he HART ferry projec. I have lived in he Brandon/Riverview area since 2009. When I firs heard of he iniial idea, I signed on and le i be known ha I suppored he plan. I hink his projec will GREATLY reduce congesion on US Hwy 60, US Hwy 41 and he Crossown expressway. When he I 4 exension was added o he Crossown, i compleely bogged up he sysem. I feel he ferry projec could help reduce his congesion and am excied o see he projec ge underway. I fully suppor his projec and would love o be a par of is implemenaion. Please le our local governmen represenaives know, he local communiy wans his projec!
I have been a residen of Tampa for over 10 years. I hink a ferry will do many posiive hings o his area. I will alleviae raffic, decrease commuer ravel ime (boh he users of he ferry, and he drivers impaced by fewer cars on he road), and increase propery values for areas of he couny. I fully suppor he effor. I am wriing o sugges ha HART include service and connecing bus service in is TDP. Of all he possible ransi opions, Ferries are he mos feasible. * The cos per rip is he lowes of all ransi opions, * The cos of righ of way is zero, * Ferries ake housands of cars off he road a rush hour, * Ferries are a "value muliplier" for he ransi package in he bay area making he whole sysem more valuable, * Ferries are "Transformaional Transi" ha makes all our desinaions one fanasic and powerful marke., * No new axes are required. As currenly proposed, inegraing ferries ino he TDP muliplies he value of he resuling sysem wih lile or no new coss o HART! I will lower he average cos per ride of he whole sysem. Promoing Ferries promoes ransi and builds ridership. Mos ransi soluions are problemaic for Hillsborough Couny because we are so spread ou, bu Ferries are a naural for he ciies by he bay. We definiely need he ferry service o ease congesion/raffic on SR 41 norh n souhbound. Pls approve n consider plan. Thank you. Residen Apollo beach I fully suppor a High Speed in Tampa Bay. Riverview o MacDill AFB wih weekend service beween Riverview, S. Pee and Tampa would have los of riders. The MacDill ferry service is a grea idea ha I will fully suppor. I currenly live in Riverview and work on MacDill and his ferry will cu down on my commue ime and sress of driving everyday. Bus connecions will be beneficial as here will need o be a way o ge o work once I arrive a MacDill. Please bring he ferry service o Hillsborough! I suppor he Tampa Bay ferry projec and hink i is a good idea and will help o improve raffic congesion. This e mail is provide you and your office feedback on he possibiliy of HART providing a ferry service from he Souhshore area o downown Tampa and MacDill AFB. Also, a weekend service from downown Tampa o S. Peersburg. Being an employee a MacDill AFB, I would definiely use he ferry service o ge o work. The road infrasrucure is errible from he Souhshore area, especially wih all he rain racks ha can delay ravelers up o 30 minues per one way rip. Addiionally, many miliary and civilians a he base using a ferry service would grealy reduce he amoun of raffic on ha roue. My husband and I ofen go o Rays games on he weekends, and being able o use a ferry for par of he rip would no only be convenien, bu less expensive han paying for parking and gas a Tropicana. Use of he ferry would jus add o he nosalgia of aending a professional league baseball game. Please consider he possibiliy of service in hese areas. For us, he siuaion is only a win. I would love o see HART ge more involved in he High Speed projec. I live in FishHawk Ranch and I know he ferry connecion from he Apollo Beach area o MacDill AFB would be a welcome addiion o he miliary commuers ha live in our area. Evening and weekend service o S. Peersburg and Tampa would be an amazing hing for downown businesses as well as relieving he sress on local roadways. Please ry o include ferry service and bus connecions o hem in he new Transporaion Developmen Plan as our local waerways are highly underuilized. Thank you.

Also of course i would also make sense o have coordinaing bus or rail service o Wesshore Business disric and he Airpor. Please include ferry service and bus connecions in he upcoming ransporaion developmen plan. The curren infrasrucure is errible for he massive amouns of personnel living in he Souh Shore region who work on or near MacDill AFB. Hello, my name is Leila Kayser. I would like o say ha I am all in favor of a ferry beween Riverview and MacDill AFB and hen for evening and weekends o S. Peersburg. My son is saioned a MacDill and lives in Riverview. I is such a long drive in raffic. All of my family and mos of my friends live in S. Pee. I miss ou on a lo of family gaherings due o no being able o make i in ime, siing in raffic and hen no being able o find a parking spo downown S. Pee. I's ime! I would use i regularly and would have no problem paying for his convenience. I am from Pisburgh, PA, which is so far behind he imes, and even THEY have implemened somehing similar years ago and i was a huge hi. We all ook he ferry from one shore downown across he river o he fooball games, ec., ec. and i saved so much ime as opposed o siing in raffic for hours. I was fun. I's ime Tampa. We have his wonderful asse, he bay, le's ake advanage of his wonderful resource available o us. Thank you. In developing a ransporaion plan ha will suppor he Tampa Bay area, MacDill and downown Tampa ignoring he impac and capabiliies of commuer ferry service is a serious misake. As a person who has used ferries o commue in he Norheas and Pacific Norhwes, ferries provide a dependable and cos effecive opion o reduce road congesion and environmenal impacs. Combining oher public ransporaion wih a commuer ferry sysem increases he ridership while decreasing environmenal impacs. Any commuer ferry opion needs o address he larges movemen corridors, Pinellas couny, eas and souh Hillsborough couny o downown and MacDill during he work week and evening and weekend service beween S. Peersburg and Tampa supporing boh communiies. Please include ferries and bus connecions o hem o hem in he Transporaion Developmen Plan. Please do NOT include he Mac Dill downown Tampa ferries in your plans, hey are a wase of money & will be a boondoggle for decades o come... Please provide a MacDill and downown commuer ferry service, and evening and weekend service o S. Peersburg and Tampa. Include ferry service and bus connecions o hem in he Transporaion Developmen Plan. This will reduce my ravel ime o/from MacDill and will help he environmen by keeping more cars off he road.

In my 2 years, we have already had 2 car accidens and replaced our windshield 3 imes. If we ry o avoid inersaes due o raffic we ofen hi rains on 41. The raffic here in Hillsborough is a huge problem. I know all of my neighbors as well as coworkers in he surrounding area would use he ferry, as i would save us significanly in gas money, olls and vehicle damage and consan mainenance. I would deconges he roads significanly and encourage more people o buy/ren furher souh expanding he housing opions for housands. I bough here wih he hopes his ferry would be approved as did mos of my immediae neighbors. Thank you for your consideraion. I am in suppor of he MacDill and downown commuer ferry service.

Joseph's hospial, he SoHo area, Channelside/Amalie, and Tampa General. While any final ieraion of his approach may no be fully implemened as circulaory sysem as envisioned, (and he name brand is unimporan o he WTCC), he goal remains he same an inerconneced robus urban ransi sysem connecing hese vial neighborhoods, business disrics, educaional insiuions and enerainmen desinaions. Finally, his proposal is viewed as a necessary precursor and essenial sep for esablishing a poenial BRT or LRT connecion. Many of he elemens of such a proposed sysem would be criical for he success of a more significan capial invesmen in a fixed guide way sysem and could be implemened rapidly, while any fixed guide way sysem, paricularly one involving rail elemens or he federal governmen, would likely ake more han a decade o implemen.
