Keolis in North America announced the successful renewal of three key contracts in the U.S. transit portfolio, reinforcing the company’s long-standing partnerships and commitment to safe, reliable, and customer-focused mobility services across the country.

The renewals include continued operations at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida; the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC) in Virginia; and the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County (RTC Washoe) in Nevada.  

“At Keolis in North America, contract renewals are a powerful endorsement of our team members’ dedication and our clients’ confidence in our ability to deliver,” said Francis Julien, regional VP, operations, for U.S. transit. “We are honored to continue serving these communities and advancing safe, innovative, and sustainable mobility solutions.”

Trusted Partnerships

At Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Keolis will continue a one-year extension to provide critical shuttle operations that connect millions of travelers annually, ensuring seamless ground mobility at one of Florida’s busiest airports.

Keolis will build on its established relationship operating the OmniRide services for PRTC in Northern Virginia for the next two years. This service delivers critical fixed-route, commuter, and paratransit services, as well as connections to the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) train services, which Keolis also operates, in the DMV metropolitan area.

In Reno, Nevada, and the surrounding area, the renewal with RTC Washoe enables Keolis to continue delivering transit services throughout the greater Reno-Sparks region, supporting economic growth and regional connectivity for the next five years.

Continuing Momentum

The renewals are in addition to recent announcements for new contracts in the U.S., including:

• A new contract with VRE to operate and maintain commuter rail service connecting Northern Virginia to Washington, D.C., which strengthens Keolis’ growing rail footprint in North America.
• The award of operations for bus service on the island of Nantucket, Massachusetts, expands the company’s footprint in the state, including partnerships with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority to operate and maintain the Commuter Rail service and parking facilities, and with the Metro West Regional Transit Authority to provide fixed-route bus and on-demand services.

Together, Keolis officials said these wins and renewals underscore the company’s balanced portfolio across bus, paratransit, rail, parking, and airport mobility services, as well as its commitment to delivering operational excellence and strong community partnerships.  

“These renewals represent more than contracts — they reflect trust in our expertise and the value we deliver,” said Fadi Chakbazof, president and chief operating officer for U.S. Transit. “We look forward to continuing to support our partners’ visions for modern, resilient, and accessible customer-centered transportation systems.”
