Contact Your Elected Officials

Contact your representatives and tell them you don’t want TBX. Tell them how you feel in your own words, or feel free to use this copy/modify as you wish:

I am writing to you to ask for your support as your constituent. I want the FDOT’s Tampa Bay Express (TBX) project removed from the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) of Hillsborough County and from the FDOT 5 Year Work Program. At a projected cost of $9 billion dollars, TBX will destroy irreplaceable community assets yet not substantially alleviate congestion. The plan places valuable transportation funding into just one project, when our region needs multi modal solutions and transit. Furthermore, TBX introduces variable rate tolls that tax citizens twice- once for building the road, and continuously to use it. I do not support the FDOT’s plan, which repeats the same mistakes of the past, again and again, with no more effective outcome. I urge you to remove the TBX plan from both short range and long range comprehensive transportation plans. I want multi modal transportation options that fix existing roadways all over the county and include safer streets, transit, walkable places and not the same answer of just widening the highway.
