alternatives and rely on public transit for essential and recreational trips. This market includes the elderly,youth, low-income, and no/limited vehicle populations. The discretionary market refers to individuals whohave a choice of transportation alternatives and may choose transit if the service is competitive with theautomobile in terms of travel time, convenience, and/or other factors. The regional market refers to thedemand for commuter travel to other counties in the region. This market was evaluated extensively as partof the TBARTA regional transit planning process.Implications – PSTA should continue to target traditional markets and continue efforts to gaindiscretionary riders. As economic development efforts in the county continue to mature, PSTAshould continue to modify its services in order to capture new riders and new transit markets.Travel BehaviorAs discussed in Section 2, local plans emphasize reducing travel by single-occupant vehicles throughincreasing multi-modal and intermodal transportation options, increasing intergovernmental coordination,and supporting PSTA in carrying out TDP proposals. According to the Pinellas County ComprehensivePlan, future roadway congestion projected to occur on major corridors requires evaluation of long-rangemobility options such as commuter rail and a guideway system.Some roadways in Pinellas County already possess a large proportion of transit trips. Locations with hightransit use should be targeted for premium service consideration. An analysis of transit trips in PinellasCounty revealed that the highest transit trip intensity occurs between the following locations:East and West St. PetersburgSt. Petersburg and Pinellas Park/Mid-CountySt. Petersburg and East ClearwaterSt. Petersburg and Largo/Mid-CountySt. Petersburg and South Pinellas County BeachesDowntown Clearwater and East ClearwaterImplications – PSTA will be continually challenged to provide service to those needing it but livingin areas that are not transit supportive. PSTA will have to become increasingly willing to considerinnovative public transit options. Corridors with a high transit trip intensity should receive prioritywhen considering premium service. Current corridors with lower trip intensity should be targetedfor other service enhancements or modifications.Tindale-Oliver & Associates, IncPinellas Suncoast Transit AuthoritySeptember 2010 6-10 Transit Development Plan
Land UseAlthough much of the current land use in Pinellas County is sprawling and not transit supportive, there area number of ongoing efforts throughout the county that are intended to change that land use pattern andthat will encourage transit-supportive development. The county, and various municipalities, are promotinginitiatives to concentrate development and intensify development in their respective communities that willcreate opportunities for PSTA to expand its service market. Such efforts are envisioned to replace thepredominance of low-density single-family development and highway commercial development in PinellasCounty which serves to encourage a dependency on personal automobile travel while hindering thedelivery of traditional fixed-route mass transit services in these areas. Many community leaders andorganizations are optimistic about the efforts to change existing land uses in Pinellas County in light of theeconomic development opportunities presented by transit-supportive development patterns.Implications – PSTA must continue to participate and coordinate with ongoing efforts thatencourage transit-supportive development throughout Pinellas County. PSTA should work toensure that land development policies and land development codes require transit infrastructure tosupport adequate levels of transit service.Two legislative initiatives, Senate Bill 360 (SB 360) and Amendment 4, may have implications forimplementation of PSTA services in the future. While SB 360 may enhance PSTA’s ability to implementservice, Amendment 4 will likely have a negative impact. State Growth Management Legislation (Senate Bill 360):Senate Bill 360 (SB 360) created a requirement that the State “evaluate and consider” a mobilityfee concept to replace the existing transportation concurrency system. Under SB 360, mobility feerevenue will provide for the flexibility to spend revenues on more than just roads. If a community’svision is to focus on multi-modal travel options, then the ability to spend “one-time payment”revenue on transit buses, infrastructure, or the construction of additional bicycle and pedestrianfacilities will help achieve that vision. PSTA stands to gain through implementation of a mobility feeby receiving a greater share of funding resulting from new development.A final summary judgment rendered August 26, 2010 by a circuit court in Tallahassee, Florida,declared SB 360 unconstitutional as a violation of the “unfunded mandates” provision, Article VII, §18(a) of the Florida Constitution. Consequently, the state legislature will be addressing the legalityof SB 360 in an upcoming legislative session.Tindale-Oliver & Associates, IncPinellas Suncoast Transit AuthoritySeptember 2010 6-11 Transit Development Plan
