Brevard County Transportation Guide

Brevard County Public Works plans, builds, maintains and manages transportation and infrastructure services countywide, while Space Coast Area Transit runs the buses (Brevard County Public Works).

Brevard County Public Works oversees roadway and bridge maintenance, traffic operations, engineering and permitting, and it takes Road and Bridge and Traffic Operations service requests online (Brevard County Public Works). The Space Coast TPO, at 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Building B, Room 105, Melbourne, FL 32940, (321) 690-6890, lists its Governing Board, Technical Advisory Committee, Citizens Advisory Committee and Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board on its site (Space Coast TPO). Melbourne Orlando International Airport and Port Canaveral publish their own flights, fares and parking rules. The deep guide in this Brevard section is the Space Coast Area Transit guide, which covers the South Brevard bus routes in Palm Bay and Melbourne. Last verified: October 15, 2026, on the Space Coast Area Transit and Brevard County websites.

Space Coast Area Transit runs fixed route buses and trolleys serving cities and unincorporated areas throughout Brevard County, and a single ride costs $1.50, or $0.75 at the reduced fare (Space Coast Area Transit).

The Space Coast Area Transit route list runs from 1 Titusville/Viera, 2 Titusville and 5 Titusville/Mims in the north, through 3 Merritt Island, 4 520 Connector, 6 Cocoa/Rockledge, 9 Cape Canaveral/Cocoa Beach and 11 Port St John, to 21 Downtown Melbourne, 22 South Palm Bay, 23 West Palm Bay, 26 South Beach and 33 Eau Gallie Arts District (Space Coast Area Transit). A one-ride fare is paid with exact change on board or through the Token Transit app; 10-ride and 30-day passes are sold online, by phone at 321-635-7815 ext 52935, at transit terminals and at select Brevard County libraries.

Reduced fare covers riders 60 and over, students, active or inactive military and people registered for TD or ADA Paratransit, and a Medicare card is accepted. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Memorial Day the buses run a Saturday schedule. Surfboards ride inside when there is room and bikes go on the front rack first come, first served (Space Coast Area Transit). One current detour: Route 8 West Cocoa skips parts of Bennett Road, including the Cocoa Market stop, because of construction, until further notice.

Space Coast Area Transit offers ADA Paratransit within three quarters of a mile of a Brevard fixed route and TD Paratransit from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily for transportation disadvantaged riders (Space Coast Area Transit).

ADA fares are capped at twice the regular bus fare. TD reservations are taken from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at 321-633-1878, next day trips are booked the day before travel, and riders should be ready 15 minutes before pickup; a cancellation is best called in 48 hours ahead. Both services sell only 1-ride or 10-ride passes (Space Coast Area Transit). The Brevard Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board, one of the Space Coast TPO committees, next meets on November 9, 2026, at 10:30 AM (Space Coast TPO).

Park and Ride lots across Brevard County are free for commuters, but parking is not allowed after 6 PM, and the lots are kept up through partnerships with local organizations and FDOT (Space Coast Area Transit). The Space Coast Area Transit main line is 321-633-1878.

Melbourne Orlando International Airport, at 1 Air Terminal Parkway in Melbourne, lists nonstop flights on Allegiant, American, Delta and Sun Country and TUI flights from UK cities (Melbourne Orlando International Airport).

The airport home page announces that Delta will launch nonstop weekend service from MLB to LGA and the return of Sun Country seasonal service to Minneapolis-St. Paul (MLB). Parking at Melbourne Orlando International Airport costs $1.00 per 20 minutes with a $16.00 maximum per 24-hour period, a short walk from the terminal with no shuttle, and a free cell phone waiting lot off the Return to Terminal road is open 24/7 (MLB parking). The airport line is 321-723-6227.

Port Canaveral charges cruise passengers $20 per day plus tax for cars and RVs, counting both the day of arrival and the day of departure (Port Canaveral).

All Port Canaveral parking is paid on entry before the cruise, every terminal has a garage and surface lots, and the port is cashless. Disabled parking spaces are available at the terminals, and the fee is waived only for vehicles carrying people with qualifying disabilities listed by the port (Port Canaveral). Space Coast Area Transit lists route 9 as its Cape Canaveral/Cocoa Beach route (Space Coast Area Transit).

The Brevard County road and rail projects posted now include the FDOT widening of Ellis Road, a planned I-95 lane addition from Viera Boulevard to Fiske Boulevard in Rockledge, and a $57 million federal grant for a Brightline station in Cocoa (U.S. Department of Transportation).

FDOT is widening and rebuilding 1.827 miles of Ellis Road from west of John Rodes Boulevard to west of Wickham Road in Melbourne and West Melbourne, at a $31 million construction cost, starting fall 2026 with completion estimated for spring 2029 (FDOT CFLRoads). Brevard County Public Works lists the same Ellis Road Widening among its own projects, along with Evans Road Drainage, Riverside Drive Drainage and the Sea Ray Drive Bridge (Brevard County Public Works).

On I-95, FDOT plans an auxiliary lane in each direction for 1.782 miles from Viera Boulevard to Fiske Boulevard (State Road 19) in Rockledge; the project grew out of a 2024 evaluation and is in the design phase, with no construction date on the project page (FDOT CFLRoads).

On October 6, 2026, federal and FDOT officials met in Brevard County to announce $57 million for the City of Cocoa to build a Brightline in-line station, a multi-use access road and a new segment of double track. The same package sends $356 million to FDOT for safety upgrades at 910 highway-rail grade crossings, nearly a quarter of them in Central Florida counties including Brevard (U.S. Department of Transportation). The Space Coast TPO project sheet, which lists the City of Cocoa as applicant and the TPO as co-applicant, notes that Brightline trains currently travel non-stop through Cocoa and puts the total project cost at $95,428,592 (Space Coast TPO project sheet).
