Mission
THE TAMPA BAY PARTNERSHIP IS A PRIVATELY FUNDED, CEO-DRIVEN REGIONAL ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION, COMMITTED TO CREATING A UNIFIED, COMPETITIVE AND PROSPEROUS TAMPA BAY.
Program accomplishments
- REGIONAL INDICATORS: THE CORNERSTONE OF THE PARTNERSHIP'S WORK IS THE REGIONAL COMPETITIVENESS REPORT, A DATA-BASED ASSESSMENT OF TAMPA BAY'S STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES, COMPARED TO 19 PEER AND ASPIRATIONAL MARKETS NATIONWIDE. SINCE ITS LAUNCH IN 2017, THIS REPORT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMON METRICS AND SHARED PRIORITIES FOR THE TAMPA BAY REGION, AS WELL AS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF KEY PUBLIC POLICY AREAS FOR THE PARTNERSHIP. IN 2024, THE PARTNERSHIP PUBLISHED THE SIXTH EDITION OF THE REGIONAL COMPETITIVENESS REPORT, WHICH WAS RELEASED AT THE ANNUAL STATE OF THE REGION COMMUNITY EVENT. IN 2024, THE PARTNERSHIP PARTNERED WITH FLORIDA BLUE TO PUBLISH A REPORT, BENCHMARKING UPTOWN, A MINIATURE VERSION OF OUR REGIONAL COMPETITIVENESS REPORT FOCUSING ON ONE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CITY OF TAMPA (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) THE REPORT FOCUSED ON ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION, HEALTHCARE, AND EDUCATION AMONG MANY OTHER METRICS TO REVEAL THE DIFFERENCES FACED BY RESIDENTS OF THE UPTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD IN COMPARISON TO THE CITY AND LARGER REGION. THE REPORT WAS ROLLED OUT TO LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS, BUSINESS OFFICIALS, AND NONPROFIT STAKEHOLDERS WITH A BUS TOUR THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
- TAMPA BAY RISING WORKING GROUP: THE TAMPA BAY REGION FACES COMPLEX, INTERCONNECTED CHALLENGES RELATED TO HOUSING AFFORDABILITY, TRANSPORTATION, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND REGIONAL GROWTH. THESE CHALLENGES REQUIRE COORDINATED, REGIONAL, CROSS-SECTOR SOLUTIONS THAT NO SINGLE ORGANIZATION OR JURISDICTION CAN ADDRESS ALONE. IN RESPONSE, THE PARTNERSHIP ESTABLISHED A WORKING GROUP THAT WILL SERVE TO ADDRESS THESE INTERCONNECTED ISSUES.
- TRANSPORTATION: TRANSPORTATION CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF THE REGION'S GREATEST CHALLENGES, AS THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES AND A HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE TO TAMPA BAY RESIDENTS BECOMES INCREASINGLY CONSTRAINED BY A LACK OF TRANSIT OPTIONS AND LIMITED REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY. TO CHANGE THAT DYNAMIC, THE PARTNERSHIP ADVOCATES FOR REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY AND IMPROVING TRANSIT FUNDING AND AVAILABILITY. THE PARTNERSHIP CONTINUES TO ADVOCATE FOR INCREASED REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AND HAS HELPED TO CONVENE REGIONAL MEETINGS BETWEEN HILLSBOROUGH, PASCO, AND PINELLAS COUNTY OFFICIALS TO MOVE TOWARDS CONSOLIDATION OF THEIR THREE SEPARATE METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATIONS (MPOS) INTO ONE REGIONAL BODY.
