===Additional express lanes=== Express toll lanes are also being considered for I-4 in the [[Tampa Bay area]]. In January 2015, FDOT unveiled its master plan for a system of express toll lanes—dubbed Tampa Bay Express (TBX)—on I-4, I-75, and I-275 and began public meetings for community input.<ref name="TBX first press release">{{cite press release |first = Kris |last = Carson |title = FDOT Media Advisory |url = http://www.tampabayexpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/TBX-media-advisory.pdf |website = Tampa Bay Express |publisher = Florida Department of Transportation |access-date = February 19, 2015 |date = January 16, 2015 |archive-date = February 19, 2015 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150219150049/http://www.tampabayexpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/TBX-media-advisory.pdf |url-status = dead }}</ref> On I-4, these lanes would extend approximately {{convert|26|mi|km}} from I-275 to west of the Polk Parkway (SR 570). At the junction with I-275, the initial concept alignment calls for a direct connection between the express toll lanes of both highways.<!-- but not at I-75, see http://www.tampabayexpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/MP-8-2-of-3-I-75-S-OF-US-301-TO-N-OF-BBD-BLVD.compressed.pdf --><ref name="TBX Malfunction Junction concept map">{{cite map |title = Master Plan Project: I-275 from South of SR 60 to North of MLK Boulevard (3) |url = http://www.tampabayexpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/MP-3-3-of-4-I-275-S-OF-SR 60-TO-N-OF-MLK.pdf |via = ''Tampa Bay Express'' |publisher = Florida Department of Transportation |access-date = February 19, 2015 |format = PDF |date = January 2015 |archive-date = February 19, 2015 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150219143021/http://www.tampabayexpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/MP-3-3-of-4-I-275-S-OF-SR 60-TO-N-OF-MLK.pdf |url-status = dead }}</ref> Express bus lanes for regional service and a long-distance bus service were studied for inclusion in the plan.
