Transdev has recently been awarded an eight-year and three month contract, valued at over USD 600 million, from the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) agency in Texas (USA) for transportation programs, encompassing the operation of paratransit and microtransit services. Transdev will take over from the incumbent operator on October 1, 2024.
For instance, Transdev will ensure paratransit services for approximately 11,000 certified riders, as per the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), across the DART service area, encompassing 13 member cities and the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. Transdev will also operate GoLink, North America’s largest microtransit on-demand operation, covering 34 zones throughout the service area. In 2023, GoLink recorded a ridership of 886,000 passengers.
“This new contract won in Texas testifies of our commitment to local authorities of bringing people and communities closer together. We do this all over the world with tailor-made mobility solutions that complement each other, by listening to our customers’ needs and expectations, as was the case with DART. This new contract complements a raft of renewals in public transportation across the country, of which Las Vegas, Nassau County and Foothill Transit are the most notable”, Transdev says.
Transdev is the largest private operator and integrator of multiple modes of public transportation in the United States, including bus, paratransit, rail, non emergency medical transportation, microtransit, shuttle, and autonomous vehicles. Leading cities, counties, airports, private companies, and universities contract with Transdev to operate and maintain their transportation systems.
Transdev also provides fleet maintenance and vehicle services which keep its clients moving safely and reliably throughout their communities.
