Both connect to I-4, which travels east-west, connecting Tampa to Orlando and the east coast of Florida.
The area's bus service is supported by over 200 buses, and over 500 vehicles are available for taxi service. The average taxi from Tampa International Airport to downtown is $20 - $22, and there is a minimum $10 fare. Most hotels offer shuttle service to the airport and major attractions. Tampa's fleet of taxi drivers go through training with the Convention & Visitors Bureau and are knowledgeable on the destination and eager to help you discover Tampa. For those whose transportation needs are not met by bus or taxi, more than 500 limousines are licensed to operate in the area.

All HART buses, vans and streetcars are wheelchair accessible in accordance with requirements governed by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The In Town Trolley, a rubber-tired trolley, connects downtown hotels to the Tampa Convention Center and the TECO Line Streetcar System. It operates weekdays and provides an additional connection between downtown and local dining, shopping and entertainment destinations. Riders can make convenient connections between the rubber-wheeled trolley and the electric streetcar allowing car-free travel to historic Ybor City and numerous other attractions.
