    Regular Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) service was restored Nov. 15 for all local routes and the TECO Line Streetcar System.

    HART says it continues to disinfect daily and requires face coverings onboard with staggered seating. The restoration brings HART to 95 percent of pre-COVID regular service levels.

    "It is critically important to restore frequency on local routes throughout Hillsborough County to ensure that our customers and the communities we serve continue to rely on HART to take them to places that enhance their lives," said Interim CEO Ruthie Reyes Burckard. "HART has delivered over 3.5 million essential trips since March 1, 2020. Restored frequency will provide our customers confidence to ride knowing local route schedules will return to pre-COVID levels."

    Summary of service restoration:

    • Route 275LX will continue to operate between the Wiregrass Park-and-Ride and the University Area Transit Center only.
    • Route 360LX is operating on a regular schedule.
    • There is no service for all other Express and Limited Express routes and HARTFlex routes.
    • The TECO Line Streetcar System is returning to regular hours.
