MV operated paratransit services for MDOT MTA between 2004 and 2019 and, since that time, has maintained responsibility for the Mobility Operations Control Center.
The company is a dealership for school buses, commercial shuttle buses, and mobility vehicles, with locations in Grand Rapids and Troy, Mich.
The 21 new paratransit vehicles were funded by a competitive $13M grant award through the FTA’s 2020 Bus and Bus Facilities program.
In resolving the investigation, the MBTA has implemented a policy that incentivizes ride sharing companies to increase the number of wheelchair-accessible vehicles available for hire.
The expanded partnership will accelerate the repowering of Forest River shuttle buses and passenger vans across the U.S.
