Transdev Wins Operations Contract for Florida Polytechnic University

Transdev, the leading global provider of multi-modal transportation solutions, is pleased to announce it has started operations of the Florida Polytechnic University campus shuttle, delivering students from off-site housing and parking lots to central campus. The new campus shuttle operation features two routes now and is expected to grow in the coming years as the university expands enrollment.

The university is located in Lakeland, Fla. halfway between Tampa and Orlando. Florida Polytechnic was founded in 2012 and has grown to a total enrollment of nearly 1,000. It focuses on STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) and partners with technology firms to provide a curriculum that enhances career opportunities for students.

“It’s always exciting to get in on the ground floor so you can experience the continued growth with a customer,” said Tom Gahan, Regional Vice President of Southeast Region for On Demand. “As the student body continues to grow we are looking forward to providing solutions to make campus mobility even better.”

Transdev also operates campus shuttle at the University of Central Florida, Stanford University, Northern Illinois University, Texas State University, Washington University in St. Louis, a connector in Greensboro, N.C. that connects seven area campuses, and the Collegetown shuttle in Baltimore that connects six universities. Transdev will also begin operations at North Carolina State University beginning in the 2017-18 school year.
