Sunshine Citizens is committed to: better transportation, transit solutions, smart growth and positive economic development for our area. As such, the group’s major special action committee for the last two years has been focused on halting the $6-9 billion boondoggle Tampa Bay Express (TBX) and advocating for comprehensive, multi-modal transportation with an emphasis on TRANSIT, first.
As a 501c4, Sunshine Citizens compiled an informational guide so that voters are aware of candidates’ positions on TBX and transportation in general. Where responses were provided, they are included; as are non-responses from candidates.
