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.
