Transdev will begin paratransit operations for Atlanta’s Fulton County Department of Aging and Youth Services, expanding the scope of the company’s involvement in transportation networks in the city’s Metro region.

Service begins Jan. 1, 2017. The company will be responsible for all aspects of paratransit operations and maintenance, including reservation management, scheduling and dispatch, and maintaining the 51-vehicle fleet.
