Indian River County Transportation Guide

The GoLine bus guide is the one deep guide in this section today, and this hub covers the other questions about getting around Sebastian, Vero Beach and Fellsmere: county roads, I-95 and planned road work.

The GoLine bus guide goes route by route through the fare-free system, its hours and transfer hubs and the Community Coach service. The rest of this page answers the questions that sit outside the bus system, each with the agency that handles it in Vero Beach, Sebastian or the unincorporated county, and the Indian River County page covers county government as a whole.

GoLine, the Indian River County public transportation system with its office in Vero Beach, charges no fare: riders are encouraged to make a donation instead (Riding GoLine).

GoLine runs 14 fixed routes across the county, and buses operate weekdays from 6:00 a.m. through 9:00 p.m., with no service on Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's Day (GoLine home page). Every GoLine bus is wheelchair accessible, riders under 12 must travel with an adult, and passengers must carry all their purchases on and off in one boarding, and large items that block the aisle are not permitted (rider rules). On other holidays GoLine routes keep the regular schedule.

Saturday hours are the one detail to check before a weekend trip in Vero Beach or Sebastian. The GoLine home page lists Saturday service from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. on most routes (GoLine home page), while the body text of the Riding GoLine page still says 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., even though that page's own footer repeats 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (Riding GoLine). The two pages also give different hours for the 772-569-0903 information line, 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on one and 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the other, so calling early on a weekday morning is the safe way to confirm a Saturday trip. The GoLine office is at 694 14th Street, Vero Beach, 772-569-0760.

GoLine routes meet at six timed transfer points, from the North County Transit Hub to the Main Transit Hub, Gifford Health Center and Indian River Mall (GoLine transfer stations).

Route 5 begins at Orlando Health Sebastian River Hospital with hourly trips from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and runs along U.S. 1 (Route 5 schedule). Route 12 starts at the Barber Street Publix and loops through Schumann Drive, but its timetable skips the 3:00 p.m. departure, jumping from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Route 12 schedule). The transfer list still names a Route 11 at US 1 and Barber Street, yet the GoLine route list runs 1 through 10 and 12 through 15 with no Route 11 schedule, so riders at US 1 and Barber Street should plan around Route 12 there (GoLine route list). Real-time bus locations show in the TransLoc app.

Community Coach offers door-to-door service, in addition to GoLine's fixed routes, for people with a physical, cognitive, emotional, visual or other disability that functionally prevents them from using the fixed-route buses in Sebastian, Vero Beach and the rest of the county (GoLine ADA Services).

Indian River County and its transit operator, the Senior Resource Association, provide the service, and every applicant goes through an eligibility determination; applications, information and requests for a reasonable modification go through 772-569-0903 (ADA Services). Any visitor to Vero Beach, Sebastian or elsewhere in Indian River County is entitled to 21 days of ADA service on proof of ADA eligibility from the home community. For riders who simply live far from a GoLine stop, the system also offers a door-to-bus stop connector (Riding GoLine).

The Indian River County Road and Bridge Division at 4550 41st Street, Vero Beach, handles county road problems such as potholes, by phone at 772-226-3460 weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or by email service request (Road and Bridge Division).

The division maintains bridges, roads, medians, curbs, culverts, drainage ways, sidewalks and bikeways in the unincorporated county, plus county right-of-ways inside Vero Beach, Sebastian, Fellsmere and Indian River Shores, through scheduled maintenance, grading and paving (Road and Bridge). It answers roughly 220 to 250 service requests a month, each logged on a computer generated form. The county website also lists separate report links for sidewalk damage, road drainage, debris in the roadway, mowing and tree trimming in the county right of way, and traffic signals that are out or damaged, all in the county website's public service request menu.

The new I-95 interchange at Oslo Road in Indian River County opened to traffic on October 5, 2026, a year ahead of schedule, and it is the county's first new interchange in over 50 years (FDOT release).

Oslo Road was widened from two to four lanes as part of the job, and the corridor gained a new bridge over I-95, intersection lighting, a new traffic signal at 66th Avenue, sidewalks, bicycle lanes and wrong way vehicle detection on the ramps (FDOT release). FDOT expects emergency response times along I-95 to improve by up to 56 percent and congestion to ease at the existing Indrio Road and State Road 60 interchanges, and the project provides an additional evacuation route. Oslo Road is a designated truck route serving southern Indian River County, and right of way bought in the southwest quadrant of the interchange allowed for a gopher tortoise habitat that FDOT says will serve as the only relocation site in southeast Florida.

For drivers in Vero Beach, the release quotes the governor saying Oslo Road commuters will see their drive times cut in half (FDOT release).

The draft of the 2027 to 2031 Transportation Improvement Program named as significant projects the widening of CR 510, CR 512 and Aviation Blvd., intersection improvements at US 1 and Aviation Blvd., and new road construction of 82nd Avenue (MPO notice).

The Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization in Vero Beach, a legislative agency responsible for transportation planning in the urbanized area of Indian River County (MPO page), updates the program every year from its List of Priority Projects; each TIP covers five fiscal years and takes effect on October 1, and the 2027 to 2031 edition took effect October 1, 2026 (TIP page). The MPO notice calls the TIP a multimodal program of federally and state funded transportation improvements, and the TIP page says it identifies projects programmed for the next five fiscal years.

Comments on the TIP go to the Indian River County MPO at 1801 27th Street, Vero Beach, FL 32960, or by phone at 772-226-1455 (MPO notice). The MPO page also hosts an interactive TIP project map for the 2027 to 2031 program, a way for a Sebastian or Fellsmere resident to check whether a programmed project touches a particular road (TIP page).
