EFFECTIVE APRIL 30, 2012: An improved transit service will continue Monday through Friday and will now include morning, afternoon and evening limited-stop express routes. The express routes will eliminate the lower utilized stops and allow riders to reach their destinations between Milton and Pensacola more quickly during peak travel times to and from work. A midday non-express service will continue similar to the existing service. Major changes include:
Express service of ten bus stop locations, from the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's office and to the University/9 mile Road ECAT connection.
Elimination of bus stops at the Blackwater Correctional Facility and state correctional institution in east Milton.
Addition of two stops north to Rosasco Street in Milton and one stop south of U.S. Hwy. 90 to Walker Street in Milton.
The transit program 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. Monthly ridership has risen steadily since service began in December 2010, from 167 to 788 in February 2012.
What to look for?
Bus Stop Signs:
Blue bus stop signs with the Santa Rosa Transit logo are installed along the route.
Timetables show when buses stop. Times are approximate and depend upon traffic and weather conditions. Arrive at the bus stop 2-3 minutes early to avoid missing the bus.
