Votran schedules public meetings regarding proposed service improvements
October 12, 2017
Votran will hold two public meetings regarding proposed service improvements to be implemented in the coming year.
At a budget workshop held during the March 2 County Council meeting, council members discussed the budget needed to increase service in response to demand for Votran services.
The county development of Votran’s fiscal year 2018 budget includes:
- Increased frequency on Routes 7 and 11 from 60 minutes to 30 minutes, with a proposed start of February 2018.
- Addition of a new route to serve the State Road 44 corridor from the beachside to the Walmart in New Smyrna Beach, with a proposed start of June 2018.
- Addition of holiday service on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day this year.
Two public meetings will be held in an open-house format to discuss the proposed service improvements. Meetings will take place from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Oct. 24 at the Votran office, 950 Big Tree Road, South Daytona; and 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 26 at New Smyrna Beach City Hall, 210 Sams Ave., New Smyrna Beach.
