GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), would like you to join us for a new way to a better commute! FDOT will conduct two public workshops for the proposed new express toll lane system along the interstate highways in Tampa Bay called “Tampa Bay Express”. Tolled express lanes are being proposed on I-275, I-4, and I-75 in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.

Two public workshops will be held; one in Pinellas County and one in Hillsborough County. These will be open-house style meetings with no formal presentation. All information displayed will be the same for both meetings. These public workshops will provide interested persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, and social, economic, and environmental effects of the proposed express lanes. The draft Tampa Bay Express Master Plan and aerial concept plans will be available for review at the meetings. For more project information and to add your comments, please visit our website at www.tampabayexpress.com. FDOT representatives will be available to answer questions and take comments. Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability or family status.
