About Hillsborough Transit Authority
Hillsborough Transit Authority, doing business as Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART), is a public transit operator and federal grant recipient serving the Tampa Bay metropolitan area, receiving formula and project grants from the Federal Transit Administration to fund bus and streetcar operations, capital infrastructure, and emergency relief activities. HART operates as a prime recipient on 123 of its 125 recent federal awards (98%), with 94 awards from the Federal Transit Administration alone, and no SBA set-aside designations; as a U.S. local government entity and county transit authority headquartered in Tampa, Florida, HART competes in full-and-open federal grant programs rather than set-asides.
HART's federal footprint centers on transit capital and operating assistance under Federal Transit Administration formula and project grants (CFDA 20.507, 20.525, 20.526, 20.527, 20.534). Recent representative awards include a $25.34 million Federal Transit Formula Grant (awarded September 18, 2025) for preventive maintenance and capital improvements to bus and streetcar operations, including air conditioning equipment, fareboxes, IT systems, bus bays, and security enhancements; a $10.1 million Formula Grant (awarded January 17, 2025) to implement computer-aided dispatch and automatic vehicle location systems across fixed-route bus and streetcar vehicles; a $5 million Community Project Funding award (awarded April 25, 2024) for engineering design and construction of bus bays, landing pads, shelters, and a bus stop technology program; and a $1.14 million State of Good Repair Grant (awarded April 16, 2026) for streetcar overhaul and maintenance. HART also received a $2.15 million Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program grant (awarded July 9, 2025) reimbursing pre-, during-, and post-hurricane operational activities related to Hurricane Ian in 2022. Two recent sub-awards (September 19, 2024 and June 24, 2024) provided operating assistance funding continuation.
The Federal Transit Administration represents 75% of HART's recent award count, with 94 formula and project grants funding operational expenses, fleet replacement (including seven 40-foot CNG buses and four electric buses), infrastructure renovation, and asset rehabilitation. The Department of Justice and Department of Veterans Affairs account for three of the remaining 31 awards. Award activity has been concentrated in 2023 (nine awards) and 2024 (seven awards), with five awards in 2025 and one award to date in 2026; four awards carrying ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months face recompete. HART's combined potential value across all recent awards totals $43 thousand, though obligated dollars across the award portfolio reach $497.2 million, reflecting the scale of multi-year formula grant commitments underlying HART's capital and operating programs. HART performs all work directly as prime recipient with no subrecipient partnerships in the source data; all activities are executed by HART staff and procured contractors serving the Tampa Bay metropolitan area's transit-dependent residents and commuters in Hillsborough County.
