Escambia County Students Can Ride ECAT Buses For Free
May 28, 2019
Escambia County students and other youth under age 18 can ride Escambia County Area Transit buses for free.
Escambia County students grades K-12 are now able to use their county-issued student library cards as a free bus pass year-round on all ECAT buses and trolleys.
In addition, the ECAT Summer Wheels Youth Pass Program will include free, unlimited rides for Summer Wheels Pass holders, ages 18 and under through September 2.
The free bus programs provide youth with the opportunity to explore Pensacola, travel to summer jobs, visit libraries and participate in summer camps.
ECAT also offers free training for those who are new to the bus system to help read the Ride Guide, plan trips and review safety.
To receive a free Summer Wheels Pass, bring your kids and their photo IDs to ECAT’s main office located at 1515 W. Fairfield Drive, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Apply for the Summer Wheels Pass online and view complete application details here.

A socialistic money pit
Uh oh, don’t tell Underhill.
I agree with Donald 100%. Free ride and free loader sounds a lot alike.
Does anyone who rides the bus pay? Are they going to raise the gas tax again so that those of us who drive and don’t ride can pa for it. I do not mind helping with the bus. It is needed for many people that do not have transportation, but too many people ride free, they all should pay something to help keep the buses running.
