Here in the St Pete/Tamp regional area there is none!
I really need something, like a commuter rail!

I couldn't agree with you more, Ish! Traffic in Tampa Bay is horrible. Now that Season is over, things have improved somewhat but it is still bad. I work in Riverview (SE Tampa). A friend of mine offered me a place to stay in Largo (across the bay for non-locals, 35 miles away). It takes over an hour to get there during peak traffic. For an extra 35 minutes, I commute 115 miles each way every day from Cape Coral (Southwest Florida). It just isn't WORTH selling my home and moving! I had some training last week in Wesley Chapel (NE Tampa) and traffic coming into town from the north was just as bad as coming across the bay.
1) Tampa REALLY needs some options, because what is going on there now is a disaster. I was listening to the District 7 DOT Secretary making a presentation this month and he said that they just finished the I-275 expansion to the tune of over $4 BILLION, and it is obsolete already.
2) Governor Scott screwed us BIG TIME when he killed the Tampa-Orlando rail project. Must be nice to fly wherever you need to go or have Troopers chauffeur you around instead of sitting in I-4 traffic.
