How to Plan a Sumter County Shuttle Trip
Use the Orange/South Sumter and Wildwood shuttle routes for low-cost travel, and ask about a route deviation when the stop is not independently accessible.
Start here
Call Sumter County Transit at 352-568-6683 for current Orange/South Sumter and Wildwood Circulator schedules, fares, stops, accessibility, and route-deviation rules. Shuttles operate on designated days, and deviations up to three-quarters of a mile require advance approval and a reservation.
