Why doesn’t HSR go to Tampa International Airport?
The Environmental Impact Statement that was prepared initially in 2001-3, and updated recently, considered a number of alignments for the HSR system. One of the key criteria used in selecting alignments was community and stakeholder support for each alternative considered. At that time, the strongest support was for a downtown location. A connection to TIA will be available initially by bus, and perhaps eventually through a fixed transit system such as light rail.
