Welcome to PinellasOnTrack, serving as your official online source for the Pinellas Alternatives Analysis study! The Pinellas Alternatives Analysis is a key step in developing an interconnected regional transit system in West Central Florida. The study findings are a blueprint for implementing premium transit service connecting major residential, employment, and activity centers within Pinellas County and to Hillsborough County via the Howard Frankland Bridge.

Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA): Based on 18 months of technical evaluation and public participation, the Project Advisory Committee (PAC) identified a draft study recommendation (called a Locally Preferred Alternative, or LPA) for premium transit in Pinellas County at their December 12, 2011 meeting: light rail transit connecting Clearwater, Largo, the Greater Gateway area, Pinellas Park, and St. Petersburg in Pinellas County, with a regional connection across Tampa Bay to Hillsborough County. This also includes significant countywide local bus enhancements to the existing PSTA network to support the service. The PAC adopted the draft LPA after a month-long public comment period at their January 30, 2012 meeting.
