DALLAS (September 12, 2014) – Today, MV Transportation, Inc. (MV), announced it has been awarded three new shuttle services contracts in the County of Los Angeles: Athens and Lennox Shuttle Services; Avocado Heights, Bassett, West Valinda, and East Valinda Shuttle Services; and Florence-Firestone/Walnut Park and Baldwin Hills Shuttle Services. Awarded by the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors, the five-year transit contracts began on September 1, 2014. Under the terms of the contract, MV is responsible for all functions associated with the shuttle services’ operations, including customer service, scheduling and dispatch, vehicle operation and maintenance, and driver training. The shuttle services will be operated from an existing MV facility with a fleet that includes four brand new compressed natural gas (“CNG”) vehicles equipped with DriveCam powered by Lytx, a video-based safety and compliance program designed to promote safe operations and protect drivers and passengers. MV will employ 21 professional operators and staff to run the operation. In response to the contract awards, Kevin Klika, MV President and Chief Operating Officer, said: “MV is very pleased with the County of Los Angeles Board’s selection, and we look forward to expanding our shuttle service operations to these three communities in the greater Los Angeles area.” Founded in California in 1975, MV Transportation operates more than 100 contracts throughout the state.

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.
