Votran, officially the Volusia County Public Transit System is the public transportation system in Volusia County, Florida, United States. The system was established in 1975. [2] Votran provides fixed bus and paratransit service throughout the entire county
Single rides are $2 per trip, or $4 for a 24-hour pass.
Although the County is employing the Votran personnel directly, the management of the Votran system is contracted to First Transit. [2] First Transit replaced RATP Dev, who had been in contract since the establishment of Votran in 1975, in 2020. [2]
Votran houses its main operations center and bus garage/yard in Daytona Beach (950 Big Tree Rd., Daytona Beach, FL 32119), which handles all administrative and a vast majority of other agency functions. Because of the distance between Daytona Beach and DeLand, a second facility is located in Orange City (near US Hwy 17/92) by which encompasses a bus garage/yard area and some operations and light-duty maintenance functions.
Votran has three main stations:
Other transfer locations are available at most shopping centers and where multiple buses cross paths.
The Volusia County Government governs the county as three regions, and Votran does the same with its service. Bus routes are grouped into three regions:
For the 20-series routes, service hours on the West Side are from roughly 5:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. Service runs hourly on the 20 & 23, bihourly on the 21/22, and thrice daily on the 24. The 30-series routes run during rush hour only, but start earlier and end later, because they are oriented towards people taking SunRail to work in Orlando.
The East Side division is the only one that provides Sunday and night service for its routes. [3]
Votran created the Route 25 on February 25, 2019, but was discontinued due to low ridership in August 2020. [4] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many routes have had to operate with reduced schedules.
VTP stands for VORTRAN Transfer Plaza, and ITF stands for Intermodal Transit Facility.
