Public Invited to ECAT Route Redesign Open House April 13

Escambia County invites the public to an open house event on Monday, April 13 to provide input on the Escambia County Area Transit fixed route redesign, which aims to improve ECAT's service, coverage and reliability. 

The open house will take place from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Brownsville Community Center, located at 3200 W. De Soto St. Light refreshments will be provided. District 3 Commissioner Lumon May will be in attendance, and one or more additional Escambia County Commissioners may attend.

The event will provide an opportunity for residents, ECAT riders, and stakeholders to engage with ECAT staff and project consultants, ask questions about the route redesign, and provide their input through interactive map displays and surveys. The public is also encouraged to provide feedback on the ECAT route redesign through an online survey, and explore the interactive virtual room to learn more.

About the ECAT Fixed Route Service Redesign

ECAT is conducting a fixed route redesign of its transit network to improve service, coverage, and reliability. The project will look at how fixed-route buses, microtransit, and paratransit services work together to better connect residents to jobs, education, healthcare, and other important destinations.
