The assessment was documented in three technical memoranda:
Technical Memorandum 1: Review of Plans and Studies established the status of current planning activities and identified similarities, conflicts, and common themes. Data were obtained from more than 30 documents from numerous agencies, including Hillsborough County City-County Planning Commission, Hillsborough Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Port Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay Area Regional Transit Authority (TBARTA), and Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority (HART). This data was supplemented by agency interviews to verify the accuracy of findings and determine the status of planning activities. Technical Memorandum 2: Land Use and Transportation Conditions assessed baseline transportation and land use conditions in the South County region of unincorporated Hillsborough County as a foundation for developing integrated land use and transportation mobility solutions. Activity areas were identified and categorized and an origin-destination (OD) analysis was conducted using Streetlight Data. Technical Memorandum 3: Travel Patterns and Conditions evaluated multimodal accessibility in South County as it relates to walking, biking, and transit use. Various accessibility measures were estimated. In-depth inventories of safety issues and multimodal gaps and barriers of selected communities were also evaluated. The report assessed County access management and corridor management policies. Each technical memoranda detail the data, methods, and complete findings summarized in this document. These documents are referenced throughout this report to support the information contained herein. The analysis identified several key findings relevant to transportation and land use conditions in the study area. These findings are grouped into four categories: growth and development, common themes, travel time and congestion, and accessibility and mode choice. The conclusions and recommendations address the overarching needs and provide the impetus for an integrated mobility strategy in South County. The integrated mobility strategy will ultimately be used to create a set of financially feasible development scenarios for South Hillsborough County.
