@john, M and Jane,
Story says they are looking for volunteers.
Stop just fussing and go make a difference.
Stop increasing gas tax and let the riders pay their own way. I have never even seen an ECAT bus in the north end of Escambia County!
Sounds like the BCC established yet another layer of beaurocrats to distance themselves from the voters and the issues. I can advise them on ECAT. If it can’t at least break even, shut it down. I resent paying more in gas tax each time I fill up than most riders pay for a one way ticket on the ECAT.
How about not raising gas tax to fund this? Ask the people that pay for it what they want.
Not what the politicians want. Quit subsidizing. If the trans system can’t afford itself, why should we pay for it? Self sustaining is what it needs to be.
Then you have the nerve to ask for volunteers to weigh in on your bullet points?
