Ocean Center Shuttle & Transportation Services

Description

The Ocean Center hosts a diverse range of events that regularly exceed the capacity of its existing parking facilities. Notably, the venue serves as the premier location for high school and college graduations in the Volusia-Flagler County region, with over 45,000 attendees across 11 graduation ceremonies. During these periods, additional events in the surrounding area also place increased demand on the shared parking garage. In addition to graduations, the Ocean Center regularly hosts large-scale events such as concerts and comedy performances, which can draw crowds of up to 7,000 attendees, or more. With continued growth in event size and frequency, there is a clear need to expand parking accessibility and improve guest transportation by implementing a reliable shuttle service to support event ingress and egress beyond the existing three flat lots and parking garage. Listed below are events in the next 12-18 months in which shuttle services are deemed necessary. Volusia County High School Graduations, back to back (May 26-May 30)*attendee data based on 2025 actualsATLANTIC          254 grads, 2,632 attendees, 495 parking passesDELAND 758 grads, 5,602 attendees, 663 parking passesNEW SMYRNA BEACH 440 grads, 3,426 attendees, 839 parking passesSPRUCE CREEK            615 grads, 6,000 attendees, 691 parking passesVOL                                  47 grads, 476 attendees, 83 parking passesMAINLAND                    300 grads, 4,881 attendees, 655 parking passes
