About this file
This document is a preliminary site layout for the Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) facility design update discussion dated February 9, 2026, prepared for the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners in Pensacola, Florida. The layout outlines the comprehensive program components for a new approximately 55,000 square-foot complex at 100 Clarinda Lane, including an Administration Building, Bus Wash, Fuel Depot, and Maintenance Building with a Transit Hub Fleet Maintenance section containing 4 bus bays and 14 van bays. The facility design incorporates multiple functional areas: a fleet parking section, private vehicle parking, administration and support areas with open and private offices, dispatch facilities, driver/operator facilities with lockers and training areas, and technical support spaces for electrical, mechanical, and IT systems. The site layout addresses program verification factors including route management, frequency, bus capacity, ridership patterns, schedule coordination, and signalization requirements based on APTA LOS Guidelines and FTA Guidance.
The document details facility capacity metrics and maintenance activity requirements, specifying a throughput of 27 buses per hour with 5-hour fueling operations at 4 stations averaging 24 buses per hour on a 10-minute cycle, bus washing of the entire 135-bus fleet daily, and interior cleaning operations. Maintenance activities are categorized by type including daily tasks (lubrication, wiper and bulb replacement), periodic services (tire service, inspections), and unscheduled work (warranty service, bodywork, collision repair, brake repair, diagnosis and repair, and component overhaul). The facility design includes provisions for expansion or phasing capability and site access points for both pedestrians and vehicles, with support infrastructure for parts storage including brakes and tires, and dedicated spaces for county vehicle maintenance operations within the overall complex program.
