VoTran Seeks Comments from Public on Proposed Service Changes

Posted On: May 21, 2026

Volusia County’s Transit Services Division is proposing changes to several VoTran routes and VoRide services in the summer and fall. Over the last several weeks, staff has engaged with riders on buses with routes with proposed changes and at transit centers to discuss the potential changes and collect feedback. Staff will continue these efforts until the comment period closes. Additionally, flyers announcing the proposed changes have been posted on the buses and at the transit centers.

Proposed Changes: June 2026

• Route 3: Service will be reduced to operate hourly at all times, with trips departing from the Transfer Plaza at 30 minutes past the hour.
• Route 4: Service will be reduced to operate hourly at all times, with trips departing the Transfer Plaza at 30 minutes past the hour. Trips will arrive at the Transfer Plaza at 54 minutes past the hour.
