ECAT Offering Free Rides For Dump The Pump Day
June 19, 2018
Escambia County Area Transit will join with other public transportation systems nationwide to participate in the 13th annual National Dump the Pump Day on Thursday.
ECAT is offering free rides for everyone on Dump the Pump Day to encourage residents and visitors to hop on board ECAT and to ride public transit for the day.
The slogan of this year’s National Dump the Pump Day is “Dump the Pump. Ride Public Transit.” Sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association, the 2018 National Dump the Pump Day is a day that encourages people to ride public transportation in order to get where they need to go, instead of driving a car.

How bout dump the ECAT, when a system can’t even generate enough funds to support itself, it’s time to shut it down, if they would operate it like the money was coming out of their pocket it would have been gone along time ago, after all most are prominent business men.
What Lisa said. We’re paying gas taxes so it’s not free.
the bus system should be free and run very 15 minutes and then it would be something that people would use. the way it is now the only people that use it have no alternative and they often take three hours to get somewhere that you can get to by car it 30 minutes. ECAT needs vast improvements to get more riders that actually pay.
Free rides? They’re not free. I pay for them every time I buy gas for my car. Well, honestly, I don’t because I refuse to buy gas in this county for that very reason.
