Truck Route Plan, Staff Representative: Bill McCall, P.E.

    Hillsborough County limits the movement of “thru trucks” to designated truck routes. Single unit trucks with three or more axles, and non-passenger combination vehicles, must travel on designated truck routes between their origin and destination to the extent possible, and must enter and exit Hillsborough County on a designated truck route.

    On February 10, 2004, the BOCC directed staff updating the Truck Route Plan to allow more time for additional technical analysis and community meetings. A Truck Route Plan Technical Committee (TRP-TC) was formed which included representatives from various governmental agencies such as the Sheriff’s Office, City of Tampa and the EPC, as well as representatives from various Hillsborough County Departments. The purpose of the Committee was to define current problems and establish founding principles and goals, then agree on methodology and assumptions. The Committee collected and analyzed technical data, and made staff recommendations to present to the public at neighborhood meetings that were advertised in the local newspaper. Roads throughout the County were examined and evaluated for their suitability to serve as designated truck routes. A final report with staff recommendations was presented to the Board of County Commissioners at a public hearing in December, 2004. The current Hillsborough County Truck Route Plan was adopted by Resolution R05-022 on January 5, 2005. Resolution R05-022 will be reviewed again by the Board of County Commissioners in 2008.

    Questions regarding the Truck Route Plan should be directed to Bill McCall, P.E., of the Transportation and Development Review Division, Planning & Growth Management Department, at (813)276-8375.

  • Employee Transportation Program, Contact: Tampa Partnership Downtown Transportation Management Organization

      In January 2001, the Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) voted to enact a commute options program to reduce congestion and the demand on limited parking facilities, provide county employees additional benefits, and save cots for employees and the county government. Commissioners expressed concerns about increasing congestion and the high costs of travel and parking. One year later the County successfully expanded programs, created new programs and achieved a high level of awareness and support for these programs among county employees. In coordination with BACS and HARTLine, the Bus Pass Program (authorizing 75% employee discount on HARTLine bus passes) and Vanpool/Carpool Programs (free parking for carpoolers) were implemented.
