About this file
This is a preliminary site layout document for the Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) facility design project in Pensacola, Florida, prepared for a design update discussion on February 9, 2026. The document outlines the comprehensive program requirements for a new transit facility encompassing approximately 55,000 square feet across multiple functional areas including an Administration Building, Bus Wash, Fuel Depot, and Maintenance Building. Key facility components include a Transit Hub with 4 bus maintenance bays and 14 van bays, fleet parking capacity, private vehicle parking, administrative offices, driver/operator facilities with lockers and training areas, and support infrastructure for electrical, mechanical, and IT systems. The facility must accommodate detailed fleet information and maintenance activities, with specific capacity metrics established for operational throughput: 27 buses per hour fueling and fare collection, 4 fueling stations at 24 buses per hour average, bus washing for the entire 135-bus fleet daily, and interior cleaning operations. Additional design considerations include site access points for pedestrians and vehicles, route management, signalization, and expansion or phasing capability to support future growth.
The facility design must incorporate Enhanced Hurricane Protection Area (EHPA) specifications to enable operation as an emergency shelter and evacuation support center during catastrophic events, with regional stormwater management features to mitigate area flooding. The layout integrates diverse operational functions including scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities, warranty service, collision repair, tire service, component overhaul, and painting operations. Administrative and support areas encompass open and private offices, dispatch operations, training facilities, and driver facilities including lockers, changing areas, showers, and lounges. The design must accommodate both County vehicle maintenance and ECAT-specific operations, reflecting the facility's dual role as a transit operations hub and community resilience asset during emergency situations.
