Planners are also exploring the potential to provide on-demand service (e.g. Uber, Lyft) for a subsidized fare for first/last mile connections to a mobility hub. Park and ride lot locations are being identified, as well, including one at Gibsonton Drive and I-75 that ties into Fishawk and the downtown route. Next steps include continued evaluation of existing conditions, needs assessment and market analysis, identify priorities and proposed alternatives with financial and operational plans, and develop implementation plans, action plans, and phasing plans. Hart is also currently working in partnership with the County and a nonprofit organization called Enterprising Latinas in Wimauma on preliminary concepts for a local circulator with Walmart as a hub and three small circulators to the north, west, and south (Figure 41). The project is aimed at improving mobility and connections to area jobs and services as well as transit for residents in the Wimauma, Sun City Center and Ruskin areas. Hillsborough County has dedicated $650 thousand to advance the project, which is in the initial planning stages.
