6         WHEREAS, a vital public transit system is critical to the 
7  future of this nation, with public investment in public 
8  transportation strengthening the economy, creating jobs, 
9  reducing traffic congestion and air pollution, and saving 
10  energy, and 
11         WHEREAS, in major metropolitan areas, public transit is an 
12  essential transportation option that can cut through congestion 
13  to provide access to job markets and remove auto trips from the 
14  highway system, thereby helping to maintain highway capacity for 
15  the shipment of goods and materials, and 
16         WHEREAS, in 2007, David Armijo brought his vision for 
17  public transit in the Tampa Bay area to Hillsborough Area 
18  Regional Transit (HART) as its chief executive officer, and 
19         WHEREAS, under David Armijo’s leadership, HART has improved 
20  efficiency and effectiveness, enhanced customer service, and 
21  instituted the highest standards of financial management, and 
22         WHEREAS, the Florida Public Transportation Association on 
23  November 10, 2009, recognized HART as the state’s best, naming 
24  it the Outstanding Transit System, NOW, THEREFORE, 
25 
26  Be It Resolved by the Senate of the State of Florida: 
27 
28         That the management team and staff of Hillsborough Area 
29  Regional Transit are commended for their outstanding 
30  achievements that have earned the designation as “Outstanding 
31  Transit System” by the Florida Public Transportation 
32  Association. 
33         BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution, with 
34  the Seal of the Senate affixed, be presented to Hillsborough 
35  Area Regional Transit as a tangible token of the sentiments of 
36  the Florida Senate.
