Contractor Map & Route Plan
Displayed in Phases
The Downtown Promenade (to be developed Year 1 of contract) and the Clearwater
Beach Marina (to be enhanced Year 1 of contract) will serve as the main terminal
locations for the largest volume of ridership. These will be considered transportation
HUBs. Other stops at North Beach, South Beach, Island Estates and eventually Sand
Key will be future landings. In the future additional landings at the Seminole Street
Launch Ramps location and private docks for "Whistle Stops" may be added provided
they meet ADA standards and do not to detract from the scheduled service to the core
service area of downtown and the beach marina.
Each Proposed Phase is described below, the initial term of this contract is to develop
the section identified as Phase 1 with the red and purple line "routes" and schedules
expanded as additional service and ADA accessible landings can accommodate:
