On January 2, 2021, we launched our new start-up in Dekalb, IL with the City of Dekalb’s Urban Paratransit Service. This is a great new contract for us and complements our existing fixed-route service contract with the City of Dekalb with whom we have operated Northern Illinois University’s Huskie Line service for close to 50 years.

Today, our U.S. CEO, Laura Hendricks, sent a letter to the Governors of every state where we conduct business asking them to prioritize public transportation employees as high on the COVID-19 vaccine distribution list of essential workers as possible.

Join us, APTA members, our partners, and the entire public transportation industry today, December 15, to collectively fight to #SavePublicTransit with a day of mobilization and engagement.

We are proud to announce that the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) Board of Directors just approved our new bus services contract agreement with them. We were granted this contract following a competitive bid process.

Our CEO, Laura Hendricks, was recently featured in the latest edition of Metro Magazine. Laura shared with Metro Magazine’s editor what it’s been like to assume the role of Transdev U.S. CEO during the pandemic, how her experience ties in with her management style and her thoughts on the future of mobility.

On December 1 we launched our new partnership with the Greater Peoria Mass Transit District (GPMTD). Our new contract includes the management of both their CityLift (ADA Paratransit) and CountyLink (Demand Response) transportation services for roughly 165,000 annual trips. Congratulations to General Manager Angel Marinich and her team for a successful start-up.

At their recent board meeting, our South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) client gave our rail team a great shoutout on the positive work they have been doing on this contract of late….using terms like “could not be prouder” and “results speak for themselves” when referring to Transdev. Great job team!

We are excited to announce that we helped our client, Fairfax County, launch passenger service on the first publicly funded Connected Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) pilot project in Virginia. The CAV, named ‘Relay’, provides an ideal first/last mile transportation solution to the area.

So proud of Adelee Le Grand as she moderated this incredibly thought-provoking session at APTA’s TRANScend20 virtual conference segment on “How Can the Transit Industry put Social and Racial Equity and Inclusion at the Forefront.”
