The lack of access to transportation can lead to feelings of isolation and neglect of medical needs. To help those in need, the Sunshine Line provides door-to-door transportation for seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income individuals who don't have or can't afford their own transportation. In June, the Florida Transportation Disadvantaged Commission approved funds for the Innovation Services Development grant program. The Pinellas County Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) Program is a state-funded initiative that provides low-cost transportation throughout the county to those who qualify as disadvantaged in terms of transportation.
The Local Coordinating Board (LCB) is composed of private citizens, transportation providers, and representatives from the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), human services agencies, and other organizations that provide transportation services to the disadvantaged community. The Pinellas County Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) Program is managed by the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA), which acts as the county's Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC). If you have any questions, recommendations, or complaints, you can contact PSTA at 727-540-1888 or the Florida Transportation Commission's help line at 800-983-2435.
