Votran provides transportation to the majority of urban and rural areas of the county with a fleet of 82 revenue-producing fixed route buses and 76 paratransit vehicles. Additional service is provided through contracts.
Beach
Volusia's beaches are divided into three experience zones -- Natural, Transitional and Urban. Natural beach zones exist from the North Peninsula State Recreation Area to Granada Boulevard in Ormond-by-the-Sea, from Emilia Avenue in Daytona Beach Shores to Beach Street in Ponce Inlet, and from 27th Avenue in New Smyrna Beach to Canaveral National Seashore in Bethune Beach.
Driving on the beaches of the Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach areas is a Volusia County tradition dating back to the early days of the automobile.
