Volusia County's public transit system drove off with several statewide honors at the Florida Public Transportation Association's (FPTA) annual conference in St. Petersburg earlier this month.

VoTran received the 2025 Bus Safety Excellence Gold Safety Award. The agency also won the Innovation Award for a new onboard storage area designed for carts and strollers.

Bernard Huggins, a VoTran bus operator for 50 years, earned first place for Bus Operator of the Year. In previous years, Huggins has been recognized with several honors, including the National Safety Council Regional Award, the VoTran Above and Beyond Award, perfect attendance, and past Bus Operator of the Year titles.


VoTran is no stranger to recognition, having received dozens of FPTA awards over the years for marketing, safety, and service.
