How to apply for VOTRAN Senior Reduced Fare

VOTRAN — Volusia County's Public Transit System (Volusia County government)

Who it's for

VOTRAN is Volusia County's public fixed-route bus system, serving the Daytona Beach metro corridor plus inland Volusia (DeLand, Deltona, Orange City). Riders age 65 and older qualify for a reduced fare of $1.00 per one-way trip (half the standard $2.00 adult fare). To use the reduced rate, show acceptable proof of age at the farebox: a government-issued ID, a Florida driver's license, a Medicare card (red, white, and blue), or a U.S. passport. For frequent riders, the VOTRAN Photo ID Card is available for a one-time $2.00 fee at the VOTRAN Administration Office at 950 Big Tree Road, South Daytona, Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m. The card is issued on the spot. Once issued, the photo ID can be shown at the farebox in lieu of carrying separate proof of age. VOTRAN serves both eastern coastal Volusia (Daytona Beach, Ormond, Port Orange) and western Volusia (DeLand, Deltona) with separate route networks.

What you'll need

  • Acceptable proof of age 65+ (government-issued ID, Florida driver's license, Medicare card, or U.S. passport)
  • Optional: VOTRAN Photo ID Card ($2.00 one-time fee, issued at the VOTRAN Administration Office at 950 Big Tree Road, South Daytona, M-F 8:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m.)
