Pilot Transit Program Begins Service

Santa Rosa Transit, a pilot public transportation program primarily along U.S. Hwy. 90, from the Santa Rosa Industrial Park to a connection to the Escambia County Area Transit system at Nine Mile Road and University Parkway, began service on Tuesday, December 7, 2010.  The bus service along the approximately 23 mile route is primarily designed to help residents with transportation needs to and from work, but also helps provide access to medical services, shopping and government offices throughout the day.

o        Santa Rosa County Public Services, 6051 Old Bagdad Highway, Suite 202, Milton

•       Riders continuing on the ECAT system must purchase an additional ECAT fare ticket.
