MV Transportation to Continue Ashtabula Transit Service

January 13, 2014

DALLAS (January 13, 2014) – Today, MV Transportation, Inc., announced it has been selected to continue operation of the deviated fixed route and demand response (paratransit) services for the Ashtabula County Transportation System (ACTS). Selected by the Board of Ashtabula County Commissioners, MV’s new contract began on January 1, 2014, for a one-year term with the option to renew for an additional four years up to a maximum of five years.

Under the terms of the new contract, MV will continue to manage operations, vehicle maintenance, customer service, scheduling and dispatch for service in Ashtabula County and the neighboring townships. In addition, MV’s operation will support ACTS’ plans to reinstate Saturday fixed route service beginning January 18th. The transit operation will be provided with a mix of MV and client-furnished buses. MV will employ approximately 12 professional operators and staff to run the service.

“MV is proud of the service provided in Ashtabula County for the last nine years and we are truly honored to be awarded a new contract that will allow us to remain in the community and partner with ACTS for possibly another five years,” said Kevin Klika President and Chief Operating Officer for MV Transportation.

Founded in 1975, MV currently operates five transit contracts in Ohio

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.
