February 20, 2013

DALLAS (February 20, 2013) – Today, MV Transportation, Inc., announced it has been awarded a contract to operate the “Lot A” fixed route transit service in Las Vegas on behalf of the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) of Southern Nevada.

This is one of two contracts awarded for the RTC’s fixed route service in Southern Nevada. Under the terms of the agreement, MV will assume operations and maintenance of the transit service at the RTC’s Integrated Bus Maintenance Facility beginning July 7, 2013, for a four-year base period with four (4) two-year renewal options.

MV will operate a fleet of 170 vehicles and employ more than 500 professional operators and staff to run the service. As part of its agreement with the RTC, MV will implement DriveCam, a fleet monitoring and recording system, which will enhance safety and training initiatives system-wide. In addition, MV will partner with the RTC to increase passenger and community coordination and feedback.

“MV is honored to have been selected to operate the Lot A fixed route service for the RTC. This award is more than a contract to MV – it is a long-term partnership with the RTC and a commitment to the citizens of Las Vegas,” said Carter Pate, MV CEO. “We look forward to welcoming the current team of professionals to MV and anticipate a smooth transition.”

This contract expands MV’s presence in the state of Nevada, adding to current contracts in Reno and Carson City.

Celebrating 26 Years of Providing Service to Petaluma

For 26 years, MV Transportation has proudly partnered with the City of Petaluma to support safe and reliable transportation. Since beginning fixed-route operations in 2000, MV’s Petaluma team has played an important role in helping connect riders to work, school, medical care, and the everyday destinations that keep a community moving.
Over the years, that partnership has continued to grow. In 2014, MV expanded its service in Petaluma to include paratransit operations, further supporting access for passengers who depend on specialized transportation. More recently, the division has helped support several major service milestones, including the launch of Petaluma Transit’s fare-free pilot in July 2024. With that effort, Petaluma became the first transit system in the Bay Area to eliminate fares for all riders across both fixed-route and paratransit services.
