PSTA Reveals Name for St. Pete's Bus Rapid Transit Project

A planned bus rapid transit (BRT) project, which will link Downtown St. Petersburg and St. Pete Beach, is taking another step forward with the reveal of branding and a catchy name inspired by the areas it will connect. Dubbed the “SunRunner,” the project will be the first bus rapid transit line in the Tampa Bay region and is also the first local project to receive funding from the federal Capital Investment Grant (CIG) program.

Bus rapid transit is a form of bus service that features limited stops and more frequent service. The SunRunner BRT line will travel in semi-dedicated lanes and will have signal priority at certain intersections. A trip from Downtown St. Pete to the beach is expected to take under 35 minutes.
