The Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council used the REMI TranSight model to forecast the countywide impacts of construction and system performance, develop a “narrative” of likely sub-area economic impacts, and create a project alternative fiscal impact forecast for community redevelopment agencies. Researchers analyzed three separate scenarios (No Further Action, Construction & Non-Tolled Express Lanes, Construction & Tolled Express Lanes) for their corresponding community and economic impacts. This assessment also included combining their travel model with content found in literature and a second case study that looked into the impacts of inundation restricting critical transportation networks. This resiliency analysis was focused on the Tampa Bay Transportation Management Area that encompasses Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties.
