VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – A new pilot program launched Tuesday in Volusia County that will provide same-day, on-demand transportation to some riders through Uber.
Using $450,000 in grant funding from the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged, Volusia County will provide the program through the end of June.
The program will give eligible riders on-demand transportation using Uber. Riders can request trips of 15 miles or less with fares that are $3.50 each way, the county said. Riders are limited to two trips a day.
To participate, eligible riders must opt in by calling VoTran at 386-761-7700 or visiting votran.org.
Riders can request rides through the VoTran mobile app or by calling VoTran.
“Trips will be fulfilled using Uber. This curb-to-curb service is only available to riders who can walk independently. The service is limited to one rider per trip,” a release reads.
