Currently, the Charter's member jurisdictions are unincorporated Hillsborough County, represented by the Board of County Commissioners, and the Cities of Tampa and Temple Terrace. Jurisdictions contiguous to those of its current members are also eligible to become members of HART. HART is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of twelve representatives appointed by the governing bodies of its members and the Governor of the State of Florida. Six are appointed by the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, three by the City of Tampa, one by the City of Temple Terrace and two by the Governor.
