Alternative Transportation

USFSP Parking Services is committed to encouraging the use of greener products. One way to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas escaping into the air is to ride public transportation. The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) now has a fleet of 24 “Smart” buses. They are hybrids that are powered by a diesel engine with an electric motor. These hybrids provide a 50% reduction in nitrogen oxide a key component of ground level ozone. Please click on the PSTA icon below for more information on bus routes and time schedules.
