MOBILITY, IN PERSPECTIVE

Every result starts with a source.

Verified endpoints, archived inputs, and an honest record of what is missing.

Discovery and analysis inputs are tracked separately. Tampa Bay Data Explorer listings were checked against publisher metadata and sample queries. Its expanded catalog is incomplete. The displayed stop inventory uses external HART/PSTA GTFS archives; verified GIS listings are documented for follow-up analysis.
