Largo, Pinellas Park & Seminole

Largo, Pinellas Park and Seminole form a dense inland band across the Pinellas peninsula, with large retirement communities, mobile-home parks and working households side by side. Transport planning is the main factor in participation from these cities.

Local information

• Local landmarks: Largo Central Park, Seminole City Center, Freedom Lake Park in Pinellas Park and the Ulmerton Road corridor.
• These communities report high combined rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes and COPD, especially in the 62-plus mobile-home neighborhoods.
• The drive is roughly two hours; PSTA buses serve local connections but the study visit itself requires a car or ride share.
• We use phone and video pre-screening, schedule single long visit days, and confirm mileage reimbursement before the first appointment.
