Networking event on July 13 offers a firsthand look at MILES Bus services and a chance to explore bringing the mobile unit to local businesses, events, and facilities
TAMPA, Fla., July 9, 2026 – Hillsborough County Tax Collector Nancy C. Millan is inviting local business leaders and community partners to see the MILES Bus in action at “Noodles & Networking,” a networking event co-hosted by Elevate, Inc. and Elite Rewards on Monday, July 13, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Jay Luigi SoHo, 516 S. Howard Ave. in Tampa.
The MILES Bus – short for Mobile IDs, Licenses, and Essential Services – will be parked on site throughout the event, giving attendees the opportunity to take care of driver license services, registrations and titles, parking permits, and more without ever leaving the gathering. Guests will also have the chance to speak directly with Tax Collector’s Office staff about what it takes to bring the MILES Bus to their own business, event, or facility.
Since its launch, the MILES Bus has traveled across Hillsborough County to meet residents where they need it the most, reducing barriers to essential government services for neighborhoods, workplaces, and community events alike. “Noodles & Networking” marks a new opportunity for the business community to learn how a MILES Bus visit could benefit their employees, customers, or event guests.
“The MILES Bus was built on a simple idea: government service should meet people where they are,” said Tax Collector Nancy Millan. “Events like Noodles & Networking give our business community a chance to see that idea in motion and to imagine what it could look like for their own employees, customers, or guests. We’re excited to grow these partnerships across Hillsborough County.”
Business leaders, community leaders, property managers, and assisted living facilities personnel are all encouraged to attend and explore partnership opportunities. Representatives from the Tax Collector’s Office will be available to answer questions about scheduling, service offerings, and how the MILES Bus program works.
Please note: cash is not accepted on the MILES Bus at this location. Debit/credit cards and checks only.
