PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority, PSTA, is beginning its Community Bus Plan, which is aimed at transforming the county's transit needs over the next 10 years.

People in the county can share their ideals at one of three community meetings, a survey or on PSTA's Ideal Wall.

“The Community Bus Plan seeks to address the evolving needs of Pinellas County residents and businesses and find more accessible, efficient, and community-focused transit solutions, said Brad Miller, Chief Executive Officer of PSTA. “The primary focus is to gain a deeper understanding of Pinellas County's ever-changing economic and social dynamics and their direct impact on the demand for public transit services.”“The Community Bus Plan seeks to address the evolving needs of Pinellas County residents and businesses and find more accessible, efficient, and community-focused transit solutions, said Brad Miller, Chief Executive Officer of PSTA. “The primary focus is to gain a deeper understanding of Pinellas County's ever-changing economic and social dynamics and their direct impact on the demand for public transit services.”
