Volusia County, FL- Bike Week will bring heavy traffic to Volusia County, and Votran riders should expect numerous delays, interruptions and route deviations.
Schedule delays can occur from March 10 to 19. Detours are subject to
change without notice.
“Votran will make every effort to notify customers as soon as the
detours and route deviations are expected,” said Steve Sherrer, Votran
general manager. “Buses will be rerouted to secondary roads when
traffic becomes congested. The latter part of Bike Week tends to affect
Votran routes and schedules more than the earlier days.”
From March 15 to 18, Votran vehicles will not use the Intermodal
Transit Facility at the Ocean Center. Route deviations include:
● Routes 1, 18 and 19 will make service stops on State Road A1A.
● Route 3 will not serve Riverside Drive between Second and Third
streets.
● Route 8 will make service stops on Halifax Avenue.

● Routes 18 and 19 will not serve Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University and Daytona Beach International Airport.
● Route 60 will run a regular route and will have a bus added to the
