Pasco County Public Transportation (PCPT) provides safe, reliable, and efficient public mobility services to the general public through the transit and paratransit systems. PCPT services help enhance the quality of life for Pasco County residents and visitors by offering low-cost transportation with the overall goal of reducing congestion, improving air quality, and facilitating mobility, commerce, and growth. Funding is provided through a number of sources including grants, fares, contracts, and local general revenue. Services are equally accessible to the general public, with special transportation accommodations available to the elderly, low-income, disabled and other transportation disadvantaged residents.

For Fiscal Year 2008, PCPT will continue to provide scheduled bus routes and door-to-door paratransit service for Pasco County residents and visitors. While the paratransit system continues to provide essential service to the transportation disadvantaged and special needs population throughout Pasco, the transit fixed-route service has dramatically increased transportation accessibility for the general public throughout the operating service areas.  There was a 12% increase in transit ridership from Fiscal Year 2006 to Fiscal Year 2007. Ridership for Fiscal Year 2008 is conservatively projected to rise 5% above the Fiscal Year 2007 total. Other transit service programs have been equally successful, especially the popular Bikes on Buses program, with over 35,000 bicycles carried on its bus bike racks during Fiscal Year 2007.

PCPT is continuing to update the bus fleet to replace aging vehicles and provide more customer amenities for the riding public. All buses are equipped to handle wheelchair and other special needs passengers. Vehicles used by PCPT and contracted operators are projected to accumulate approximately 1,850,290 miles.

PCPT is also the designated Community Transportation Coordinator for all Federal, State, and local transportation services in Pasco County under Chapter 427, Florida Statutes, Rule 41-2, Florida Administrative Code, and serves as a broker for all sponsored and nonsponsored funded transportation. This program is designed to coordinate and integrate all transportation resources and services to maximize the effectiveness of transportation without duplication of effort. Current membership is composed of both commercial contract providers and nonprofit agencies. The commercial operators are: Jarr, Inc., d/b/a A Silver Streak Car Service; Stretcher Limo, Inc.; MedFleet Systems, Inc.; and Cam-Jo, Inc. The nonprofit agencies are: Boys and Girls Club of Pasco, Inc.; James P. Gills Family YMCA; Lighthouse for the Visually Impaired and Blind, Inc.; The Center for Independence, Inc.; Youth and Family Alternatives, Inc.; Gulf Coast Jewish Family Services, Inc.; The Harbor Behavioral Health Care Institute, Inc.; Lifelink Corporation; Catholic Charities; and A.F.I.R.E. of Pasco County, Inc. In addition, Pasco County School Board Transportation is contracted to perform authorized group trips that cannot be accommodated by PCPT. They have traditionally supported nonprofit organizations sponsoring youth-oriented outings.

The PCPT operating budget is currently funded at 76.4% through grants, contracts and fares, and 23.6% by the Board of County Commissioners.
