Created on October 3, 1979, the Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) is the regional mobility provider in Hillsborough County, serving a population of more than 1.4 million residents in the cities of Tampa, Temple Terrace, and parts of unincorporated Hillsborough County, the fourth most populated county in Florida. Its total service area covers 1,000 square miles which is almost the size of Rhode Island. HART operates fixed-route local bus service, door-to-door paratransit service, and manages the TECO Line Streetcar System. HART’s mission is to take people to places that enhance their lives.
