Project of Distinction – Tampa, FL
SIGNATURE SERIES TRANSIT SHELTERS
LOCATION
Tampa is a city located on the Gold Coast of the state of Florida and is the city seat for Hillsborough County. As the third most populous city in the state, Tampa’s 398,000+ citizens rely in part on Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) Authority to move throughout the community. Critical to the bus riding experience is where passengers begin and end their trips – at safe and comfortable bus stops.
PROJECT SCOPE
In 2021, Tolar Manufacturing Company, was awarded a five-year contract to design and build bus shelters and street furniture for Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) Authority. HART’s aging bus shelters are now being replaced with Tolar Manufacturing Company’s sleek, modern, and popular Signature Crescent series shelters, which are known for their kit-of-parts, easy-to-install approach. For Tampa, the 13-foot shelters capture the heart of the city’s love of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well as HART’s own agency’s branding, with a modern aesthetic that creates a true Sense of PlaceTM for the greater Tampa area. With the community in mind, these durable shelters are equipped for the humid climate with breeze-friendly back paneling, sturdy Mesa benches and lean rails, and 32-gallon trash receptacles with rain diverters. Each shelter is available with UL-listed LED solar illumination and a SmartLink controller allowing for remote monitoring of the solar performance.
“It’s an honor to continue our long relationship with HART, providing them with easy to maintain shelters that improve passenger comfort with an updated modern look that matches the Tampa landscape. We’re pleased to be once again partnering with HART as we help to continue improving the passenger experience,” comments Tolar Manufacturing Business Development Manager, Scott Williams.
