Here is an interview from the Bradenton Herald with Stuart Rogel, CEO of Tampa Bay Partnership. Myself and others have been working with TBP to support public transit initiatives. Cross-state high-speed rail and regional rail/bus networks need our support if we are going to improve the physical development and quality of life of our state. This is a long-term vision that requires immediate action. The reason Florida looks the way it does today is because a generation of leaders were not prepared for the unprecedented growth in Florida's population during the 20th century.
Will it be cheap? No. Will it be easy? Not likely. Will it be worthwhile? Most definitely.
I will report more on my position and the logic behind it in future posts. Be on the lookout for information concerning TRANSITion Tampa Bay, a group we founded to encourage support among young professionals.
