Five Zones, One Countywide Service
Scout operates in five neighborhood-based zones that make it easier to get around Seminole County without relying on a personal car. Zones were drawn around major waterbodies to avoid confusion with city boundaries and to keep communities together. Each zone connects people to schools, parks, hospitals, government offices, and shopping areas.
The five zones are:
Monroe Zone – includes Sanford
Lake Mary Zone – includes Lake Mary and Longwood
Howell Zone – includes Winter Springs, Casselberry, and Longwood
Brantley Zone – includes Altamonte Springs, Longwood, and Casselberry
Econ Zone – includes Oviedo
Four of the five zones also include a SunRail station, making it easier than ever to connect locally and regionally.
Where Scout does not operate: Scout service does not extend into the rural boundary area of Seminole County. Riders in all other areas of the County will be covered within the five service zones.
How Fares Work
Scout fares are zone-based. The price depends on how many zones your trip crosses:
- $4— trips within a single zone
- $7 — trips crossing into one additional zone
- $10— trips crossing two zones
- $14 — trips crossing three zones
A $1 surcharge may apply during peak travel times (6 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m.) or when bringing extra passengers or large items.
