DALLAS (March 31, 2014) – Today, MV Transportation, Inc., announced it has been selected to continue operation of the Transportation and Rural Access (“TRACS”) program in Wake County, NC. MV has operated the shared, demand response transportation service for the past 10 years. Awarded by the Wake County Board of Commissioners, service under the new contract has already begun and covers a base period of three years with two additional three-year renewal options.
Under the terms of the contract, MV will manage operations, vehicle maintenance, customer service, and training. The scheduling and dispatch functions will be handled by a separate company, Ride Rite. The transit service will be provided using an MV and client-furnished fleet of 55 vehicles. MV will employ 46 professional operators and staff to run the operation.
“MV is thrilled to be selected for another contract term,” said Kevin Klika, President and Chief Operating Officer for MV Transportation. “This is an important service for the residents of Wake County, and we are committed to continuing to provide a safe, efficient and on-time transportation service for the passengers we’ve come to know over the last decade.”
Founded in 1975, MV Transportation currently operates seven contracts in the state of North Carolina.
