Scout is Coming to Seminole County

Seminole County is preparing to launch a new micro-transit service, Scout, as soon as October 2025, offering residents a more flexible, responsive, and accessible public transportation option. This system will allow riders to request shared trips through a smartphone app or by calling a dedicated phone line, providing on-demand service within defined zones across the County. On May 20, 2025, the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners approved the selection of a vendor to operate the County’s micro-transit service. This decision marks a significant step in modernizing the County’s transportation network to better serve residents in areas that have historically lacked fixed-route coverage. Micro-transit is a nationally recognized best practice for improving mobility in both urban and suburban communities. By focusing on rider convenience and zone-based service, this model expands access and ensures a more efficient, user-friendly experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. However, the Board of County Commissioners is still determining final launch details for Scout, including fare structure and service zones.

Rides can be requested using a smartphone app or by calling a dedicated phone line. More details on how to book a trip will be available before launch on www.ScoutSeminoleFL.com

Seminole County is working closely with LYNX to ensure that Scout complements the region’s existing infrastructure, including SunRail. In addition to municipal partners, County staff are also coordinating with Seminole County Public Schools, Seminole State College, Orlando Sanford International Airport, and local hospital providers to make sure Scout supports key destinations and essential services throughout the community.

ACCESS LYNX service is not changing. However, riders may find Scout to be a more convenient option depending on their needs and destination. The County will continue offering both services.

Micro-transit is a form of public transportation that uses technology — often mobile apps — to offer flexible, curb-to-curb or corner-to-corner service, replacing underperforming fixed routes with more responsive and efficient transportation. It typically operates with small vehicles, such as vans or shuttles, to provide rides, as needed, similar to rideshare services. Micro-transit operates based on rider requests rather than fixed schedules, allowing for flexible and efficient transportation.

Service zones are currently being finalized, with a focus on connecting residents to key destinations such as schools, medical centers, job hubs, and transit stations. Maps will be available soon.

Yes. Seniors, students, and income-eligible residents will have access to reduced fares. Additional information on eligibility and how to apply will be shared ahead of the launch. The County is focused on ensuring that the system meets the needs of all riders.
