Santa Rosa Says ‘Dump The Pump’ Ride Public Transit Free

June 10, 2011

Santa Rosa County is offering residents and visitors alike the chance to “Dump the Pump” and ride for free on the Santa Rosa Transit System all next week.

June 16 is National Dump the Pump Day, but Santa Rosa County opted to make it a week-long event to encourage people to ride public transportation instead of driving to help them save money.

Santa Rosa Transit is a pilot public transportation program mainly 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.  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. The fare for a one-way trip is normally $1.
