The Volusia County Council recently approved making Votran's temporary route adjustments permanent in response to the driver shortage.
After approval from the council earlier this year, Votran enacted route reductions in three phases, according to a county press release. Route changes, which are now permanent, are as follows:
"Our staff held six public meetings, two of which were virtual, allowing residents to voice concerns of how the change in routes is impacting them," Votran General Manager Kelvin Miller said. "With our driver shortage, we had to find ways to still deliver a quality service, but with fewer resources."
Votran is hiring drivers starting at $17 per hour, plus a benefits package and free in-house training to obtain a commercial driver license.
