COMPETITIVENESS RANKINGS

In their report “Access Across America: Transit 2018,” University of Minnesota Accessibility Observatory researchers ranked large US metros in terms of job access via transit. This report shows that Tampa Bay ranks 15th out of the 20 markets identified in the Regional Competitiveness Report. However, with implementation of the Regional Transit Vision, Tampa Bay would jump to 9th place on that list. We can use this same report to see how Tampa Bay fares against 49 other metro areas in the U.S. Currently ranked 41st, Tampa Bay would move to 27th.
