The Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council (TBRPC), under contract with the Florida Department of Transportation, used the REMI TranSight model to analyze alternative project designs that would alleviate congestion in the Tampa Bay Area. This independent Economic Impact Analysis of the Tampa Interstate Study (TIS) Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) evaluated three economic scenarios: No Further Action, Non-Tolled Express Lanes, and a Tolled Express Lane. The TBRPC implemented the TranSight results, local data and plans, and the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Model outputs into their analysis to assess the prospective impacts of TIS SEIS on Community Redevelopment Areas, which then allowed them to extend the countywide analysis in the scenarios to those areas.
