Bay County Transit to Host Second Annual “Bayway Day”

Event encourages community engagement and celebration of public transit.

Panama City, FL – Bayway Transit is thrilled to announce the second annual “Bayway Day,” a fun event dedicated to celebrating the community and increasing awareness of public transit. This year’s event will be held on Friday, September 20 from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Gulf Coast State College transfer point (5230 W HWY 98), directly across from Carl Gray Park and conveniently located between the GCSC and Florida State University Panama City campuses.
