VoRide Expands to Three New Cities

Posted On: March 11, 2024

The new curb-to-curb rideshare initiative from Volusia County is set to expand its services to DeBary, Deltona, and Orange City starting Monday, April 8. Since launching in DeLand in December, VoRide has shown significant ridership growth and received overwhelmingly positive feedback, indicating the community's readiness for broader service coverage. 

“Continued ridership growth and the overwhelmingly positive feedback we’ve received in the DeLand area shows it’s working and it’s time to expand into other communities,” said Volusia County Transit Services Director Bobbie King. “With nearly 1,000 trips reviewed and with an average of a 4.8 out of five-star rating, VoRide is exceeding the expectations within our community.”

VoRide, which operates from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays, offers an affordable pricing model with no peak time surcharges; passengers are not allowed to tip drivers. Additionally, discounted fares are available to persons who are 65 years of age or older or disabled, and children 17 and younger. The service can connect riders who need to travel beyond the service zone with Votran buses.

The VoRide app, available on the App Store and Google Play, has been designed to be user-friendly, allowing riders to easily book trips and insert payment methods. Users can view the estimated arrival time of their driver, secure their ride, and track the driver's location in real-time. Individuals unable to use the app can call 386-210-9861 or visit https://www.votran.org.
