Accessibility of areas with transit service is presented in Figure 20. This figure should be considered in conjunction with walking and transit times. The areas of high potential represent areas with existing HART bus stops and relatively dense residential population and services within less than a 30-minute walking distance of these stops. Only 30 percent of the study area is within a 30-minute walking distance of a bus stop.
The moderate potential category represents areas with the potential to be serviced by transit in light of the existing residential and service density and walking time to the nearest transit stop. They have a high residential density but are more than 30-minutes walking distance from existing stops and services. The low to no potential categories represent regions with very limited or no potential to be served by transit due to long walking times to the nearest transit stop, or relatively low residential and service densities. These categories are predominantly east of the study area.
Only 30 percent of the study area is within a 30-minute walking distance of a bus stop, only about 1.4 percent of the study area could reach the Marion Transit Center (MTC) within 1 hour and about one-third of the study area can reach MTC within 2 hours.
Considering the estimated walking time to the nearest HART stop, only about 1.4 percent of the study area could reach the Marion Transit Center (MTC) in downtown Tampa within 1 hour (including walking to the bus stop), and about one-third of the study area can reach MTC within 2 hours.
