This week, we launched our new partnership with the San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) and began operations of their microtransit service called Ride Plus. We are addressing a long-term need in the East Palo Alto and Half Moon Bay areas by providing on-demand microtransit services to passengers in areas where access to fixed bus routes had been challenging.

Happy Mechanics Day! Thank you for all you do to keep us rolling. Our safe, reliable service truly begins with you! In honor of the day, at Transdev, we choose to celebrate all our maintenance and utility professionals today.

With summer vacations on the horizon and potential work travel on the schedule, it’s important to understand some risks associated with charging your devices at free, public USB port charging stations, like those found in airports and hotel lobbies.

Starting June 1, we are launching our new partnership with the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (LYNX) to operate its ACCESS LYNX paratransit service. As part of their new partnership, we will be responsible for the operations, maintenance, dispatch, scheduling, road supervision, and overall management of the contract on behalf of ACCESS LYNX. This includes 200 vehicles and 330 employees.
