Volusia County, State/Province — December 16, 2025 — Leads & Copy — VoTran, Volusia County’s public transit authority, has modernized its VoAccess paratransit service through a partnership with RATP Dev and Spare. The move brings a new level of reliability to residents who depend on accessible transportation.
As one of the first Florida agencies to implement comprehensive paratransit modernization at county scale, VoTran is setting a new standard for reliable, dignified service, ensuring consistent, predictable service for riders.
The Spare and VoTran partnership affects 700 daily trips across approximately 1,200 square miles of Volusia County. Since implementing Spare’s platform, VoAccess has virtually eliminated late pickups, achieving 97% on-time performance, compared to the previous 83% benchmark.
As of December 1, Volusia County riders now have self-service access through the Rider App, powered by Spare. Residents and visitors can request, track and manage rides directly from their smartphones.
With the new Rider App, riders can book trips without waiting on hold, track vehicles in real time, modify or cancel rides directly from their phone and reduce the uncertainty around wait times.
Spare’s unified platform manages VoAccess paratransit operations while supporting VoTran’s broader transformation vision. The same technology will power VoTran’s planned microtransit expansion in March 2026.
“Volusia County’s partnership with RATP Dev and Spare Technologies has proven to be the best decision we’ve ever made,” said Bobbie King, Transit Services Director at VoTran.
“Every trip represents someone’s independence,” said Kristoffer Vik Hansen, Co-founder and CEO at Spare.
“At RATP Dev USA, we know change isn’t just about new technology, it’s about people coming together with purpose,” said Angela Milroy, Director of Operations at RATP Dev USA.
