Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) held a public workshop Thursday evening in Century to provide information about the North Escambia Transportation Service Pilot Project. There is one more workshop meeting set for Monday in Walnut Hill.

The North Escambia Transportation Service Pilot Project will begin February 20 as a door-to-door on demand transportation project.

To qualify for the program, participants must live north of Quintette Road within Escambia County and complete a short application (click to download).

    Wow- that should get a lot of older (over 60) drivers off the road. Like having your personal taxi for 1 dollar a trip.
