‘Make Your Mark’ Tell Local Leaders Your Opinion On Transportation Issues

March 16, 2011

What do you think of transportation in Escambia and surrounding counties? You have a chance to let area leaders know what you think.

Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT), in conjunction with the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization (TPO), is asking all residents to participate in the Transportation Development Plan (TDP) local transit survey for Escambia County.

Residents are encouraged to visit www.TransitSurvey.org to “Make Your Mark” in the community by taking the 2011 bus transit survey online. By participating in the survey, residents can voice their opinion about services and priorities for Escambia County and surrounding counties. The survey component of the study will be available for public input through April 2011.

For North Escambia residents, there is a question that specifically asks for an opinion on the statement “It is a hardship to commute between the Northern part of Escambia County and Pensacola”.

Every five years the TPO, in conjunction with ECAT, conducts a major update of the TDP. This is a requirement of each transit agency receiving state funds from the Florida Department of Transportation. Results from the TDP survey will provide information to the TPO and ECAT on everything from travel patterns to identifying support for local transit services and expanded mobility options.
