The Tampa Rail Community

The Tampa Rail Community is the soon-to-be sister site of Tampa Rail. While Tampa Rail covers the evolution of mass transit and fixed guideway transportation soltuions in Tampa and Hillsborough County, the Tampa Rail Community blog and website attempts to discuss and exhibit the resultant communities such development encourages. While initial development takes place, the general Tampa Rail site incorporates both topics.

While the Tampa Rail Community is under development, feel free to watch the work.
