Over the last year. more than 1,000 citizens from across our seven-county region participated in a
series of events to share their vision of Tampa Bay over the next 40 years. Using Legos@ to represent
new development and ribbons for roads and transit, participants in Reality Check and One Bay
workshops built virtual communities based on important priorities. Called Guiding Principles. those
priorities include:
· Promoting quality communities to create a sense of place by uniquely clustering higher
density mixed-use development organized around transportation corridors
· Maximizing mobility using multi-modal transportation
· Preserving natural systems, emphasizing connectivity and
sustainable water supplies
· Balancing jobs and housing for affordable quality of life
· Attracting higher-paying jobs and strengthening economic
development initiatives
· Preserving farmland and sustaining the role of agriculture
...
....
These broad goals have been transformed into scenarios reflecting che priorities idemified by cicizens
participating in those first evems. Working with nacionally recognized techniques and state-of-the-art
software. our scenario builders forecast the strengths and weaknesses associated with how and where
the seven million people in our region may live. work and play in the year 2050.
~[Jffi}~
Using citizen input generated from Reality Check and One Bay events across the region, four distinct
scenarios were created to explore the consequences of porential growth patterns for the Tampa Bay
region. All four scenarios accommodate the 3.2 million new residents expected to live here in 2050.
with the 1.6 million new jobs and 1.3 million new homes they're expected to need. Based on inpuc
from people like you, we hope to create a shared vision for the future of Tampa Bay.
Maps generated by scenario builders show existing urban development in yellow with new
development and redevelopment in purple. Green areas remain constant in all four scenarios. Across
the board, participants in Reality Check and One Bay respected the environmental value of those
lands, even though some parcels have been targeted for protection rather
than actually purchased or operating under conservation easements. Other
properties also have been identified for purchase or conservation easement
through state, local and regional government agencies.

This alternative depicts how
scenario builders expect
Tampa Bay to look if future
development follows the
growth patterns and trends
of the past. It's the "business
as usuaJ" representation
of how and where growth
would likely occur if those patterns continue - but it is
not a forecast of what will happen in the future.
The scenario antid-pates:
. Ongoing development of suburban-type communities,
. The vast majority of new construction will be single
family homes.
. The amount of developed land will nearly double as
the population grows, requiring more than 500,000
acres to house new residents and provide them with
jobs.
. The average commute is likely to become even longer
and more expensive as homes are built fanher away
from employment cemers.
I . Subdivisions and planned communities will consist of
homes that are similar to each other in style and price.
I . Up to 100,000 acres of wetlands and wildlife habitat
may be impacted,

This scenario places

the more than I 000 citizens
participating in Reality
Check and One Bay events
put their Legos''>.
The scenario anticipates:
. 'Nhen compared to Scenario A. this alternative
quadruples the use of revitalized properties in and
near city centers.
. An increased focus on alternative housing, with
approximately 60 percent of new homes consisting of
options like townhomes, garden apartments, homes above
retail stores in mixed-use buildings, and mid- or high-rise
condominiums that take advantage of waterfront views or
proximity to regional activity centers.
. The number and length of automobile trips will be
reduced up to 25 percent,
. Enhanced rail and bus transit options become
increasingly viable as the population density increases.
. Compared to Scenario A. land-use patterns include
preservation of two-thirds more open space and
agricultural land, protection or 75 percent more
wetlands, and 80 percent more priority wildlife
habitat remaining in its natural state.

would be built along the transit corridors.
Generous parks and outdoor recreational areas are
expected to be easily accessible by pedestrians and
bicyclists in these new neighborhoods. along with
schools and community activity centers.
. The most preservation of open space of any of the four
options with more redeVelopment in and near city cores,
. Of the four scenarios, it's also the most likely to make
commuter rail feasible,
. Job densities are the highest of all four scenarios. with
90 percent more jobs per acre than Scenario A.
. Per capita water and wastewater usage will decrease by
about 20 percenc, compared to Scenario A with fewer
large lawns and more efficient use of reclaimed water.
. Homes in higher-density communities also cause less
stormwater and use less electricity: resulting in cleaner
air and water.

pollution in the bay. Efforts over the last 40 years have
actually reduced water pollution in the bay even as the
region's population boomed.
. An increased emphasis on protecting lands that have
environmental value.
. Construction in areas defined as wetlands. aquifer
recharge areas and priority habitat will be avoided.
even in cases where it might increase conventional
sprawl.
. Approximately 24,000 acres revitalized as new mixed-
use communities near downtown cores.
. Less than 500 acres of wetlands or priority habitat will
be threatened with development.
. The least amount of new construction in flood plains,
minimizing harm to people. property and wildlife

.ortunately, interest in improving national trans-
I~ portation policy could not come at a better time.
J The massive demographic, economic. and social
changes underway today present the nation with a com-
plex and, at times, conflicting set of transportation chal-
lenges that continue to plague the largest metropolitan
areas.
":J A collective "infrastructure epiphany" has arisen
about the need to reinvest in America's aging and
outdated transportation network. Only one-third of
roads in urban areas are in good condition, transit sys-
tems are aging, and tens of thousands of bridges are
structurally deficient.
'The movement of people within and between metro'
politan areas has become challenging due to ever-
present traffic congestion and unconnected modes.
About half of Americans do not have access to a range
of travel options to avoid these delays.
I The interstate and intermodal movement of goods is.
projected to get more difficult. Due to the changing
nature of the American economy. congestion in and
around the nation's metropolitan ports and other
freight corridors is consistently worse than the overall
transportation network.
.. There is growing concern about a "perfect storm" of
environmental and energy sustainability, and the role
transportation plays. The continued growth in driving
is projected to cancei out both the benefits from vehicle
efficiency and fuel alternatives_ At
the same time, the U.S. is still The massive demographic, economic, and social
overly dependent upon petroleum-
based fuel imported from unstable changes underway today present the nation with

J Finally, a large portion of the a complex and, at times, conflicting set of
American workforce is concerned

related items-such as gasoline.
Transportation is now the second largest expense for
most American households, consuming on average
20 cents out of every dollar. Only shelter eats up a
larger chunk of expenditures. with food a distant third.

Florida, but carries 30% of our total traffic.
Florida Department of Transportation, 2006.
· By Year 2030, the miles people are expected to travel in the West Central
Florida region will increase by almost 100% - and will cause a 300%
increase in travel delay.
Florida Department of Transportation, 2006.
· From 1990 to 2005, the population of the Tampa-St. Petersburg region
has grown by 31 % - in that same time, the total annual delay in travel
time has increased by 119%.
Texas Transportation Institute, The 2007 Urban Mobility Report, Mobility
Data for Tampa-St. Petersburg, FL, September 2007.
Consulner Cost of Tr'ansl>ortation
· In the Tampa-St. Petersburg region, the average commuter spends an
extra 45 hours per year sitting in traffic - that translates to a cost of over
$1 billion annually, approximately $809 per commuter.
Texas Transportation Institute, The 2007 Urban Mobility Report, Mobility
Data for Tampa-St. Petersburg, FL, September 2007.
· In the West Central Florida area, working families spend an average of
$10,600 per year, or 33% of their income on transportation - making it
one of the most expensive transportation areas in the nation.
Center for Housing Policy, A Heavy Load, October 2006.
· In 2003, the combined share of household expenditures spent on
transportation and housing for Tampa was 57.7%, the highest of 28
Metropolitan Statistical Areas.

transportation than any other category including shelter, food or health
care.
Surface Transportation Policy Partnership, 2007.
· The average annual operating costs, financing, depreciation, insurance,
licensing and registration for vehicle owner driving 15,000 miles per year
is $7,834.
American Automobile Association, Your Driving Costs 2006.
· Nationally, for every dollar a working family saves on housing, it spends
77 cents more on transportation.
Center for Housing Policy, Something's Gotta Give, 2005.
· As working families move further from work to afford housing they end up
spending as much, or more, on transportation costs than they save on
housing.
Center for Housing Policy, A Heavy Load, 2006.
Publit.; l'r-anspol'l:alioll .-. Cost/Benefit
· Every $1 spent on transportation in Florida creates $5.60 in use and
economic benefits.
Florida Department of Transportation, August 2006.
· For every $1 billion invested in public transportation, 47,500 jobs are
created.
American Public Transportation Association, 2007.
