Urban Transit

As our urban center continues to grow, it’s important to think creatively and holistically about transportation options. In 1996, the Downtown Partnership was named downtown’s Transportation Management Organization and launched the St. Petersburg Trolley which continues to operate the scheduled daily Downtown Looper and provide private charters for dozens of special events downtown each year – including shuttles to each Tampa Bay Rays game. In more recent years, the Downtown Partnership has launched Car-Free St. Pete, a movement encouraging people to go without their cars in the Downtown area done in partnership with the Looper Group, Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority, Coast Bike Share, Cross-Bay Ferry, and the St. Pete Pedicab.
