Formerly known as Walton County Transportation, the service is now operating as Walton County Beach Park and Ride. The updated name better reflects the program's purpose: helping visitors park their car, ride the tram and reach the beach with less stress.

What's your beef? The lots have already been built so you don't want paid parking, mostly by tourists, to pay it back, or do you not want a free tram/trolley people have been begging for years and is funded mostly by tourist tax?

The tram/trolley would be such a smarter move! We need something that will reduce traffic for all of 30A . Residents and renters on 30A can park their cars and ride the trolley

I only see it going from Grayton west? Am I missing more? I couldn't open the link with the schedule. I am talking about a tram/trolley having stops all along 30A, so people can get off or on at those stops

This is just a beginning, and not a true tourist trolley, but may evolve into that. As of now, routes are from parking lots to beach accesses and state parks, and will expand to Miramar Beach and east to Seaside, etc. I don't know how many routes/stops will be added in the future.
