The TECO Line Streetcar carried a record 107,956 trips in March 2022
The TECO Line Streetcar broke an all-time monthly ridership record in March 2022 with 107,956 trips reported.
It was the highest monthly ridership in the TECO Line Streetcar's almost 20 years of service.
The record ridership is believed to be a result of a variety of factors: a boom in population growth along the Streetcar line, a mix of events in downtown and Ybor in March, and a return in Hillsborough County tourism.
City of Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, Commissioner Patricia Kemp, Commissioner Gwen Myers and HART CEO Adelee Marie Le Grand will provide remarks and be available for an interview after the event.
HART asks all media outlets to RSVP in advance.
The TECO Line Streetcar is a partnership between HART, the City of Tampa, and Tampa Historic Streetcar, Inc.
