Client:
Tampa Downtown Partnership
Background:
Dr. Collins was responsible for developing an implementation plan for a unique point-to-point,
on-demand, public transit circulator system within the downtown core of Tampa, Florida using
electric vehicles. The free service is intended to provide visitors, employees, and residents
of the downtown convenient mobility while serving as a complement to the existing Downtown
Guides Program. The Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) Program offers a context sensitive
mobility alternative to downtown parking and congestion issues. Under this program patrons are
able to access all major attractions in the downtown area without having to use private
automobiles. This service has since been initiated by private sector companies, and has
been replicated in other nearby cities.
