STV|DPM, part of STV, completed the physical relocation of the North East Transportation Company Inc. (NET).
Through a management contract with Connecticut Department of Transportation, NET provides public bus transit services in the greater Waterbury, Meriden, and Wallingford areas. The company operates a fleet of 84 vehicles and employs 155 people. NET was established in 1925 and had operated from a converted brass manufacturing facility located in Waterbury for more than 36 years.
The newly-constructed, state-of-the-art facility was once home to a drive-in theater, and now features covered employee parking on the lower level, a main level that provides inside vehicle storage and maintenance, and a second level with offices and work areas for the administrative staff.
NET’s most important objective was a smooth and disruption-free relocation of its 21-hour operation. Services provided by STV|DPM entailed the development of a detailed, multi-phased move schedule that included the relocation of employees, as well as the moving and rigging of equipment, write up of mover/rigging RFP, assistance with the management in the selection of the mover/rigger, management and approval of invoices, and on-site supervision for all move related activities.
The region’s fixed-route system finished out the year with a total of 373.5 million rides. Adding 12.3 million rides over 2024 represents an increase that is equal to the annual transit ridership of Kansas City.
Rolling out in electric yellow and seafoam blue, the first battery-electric buses purchased from GILLIG will begin serving riders in south King County on February 2.
The agreement provides competitive wages and reflects strong labor-management collaboration, positive working relationships, and a shared commitment to building a world-class transit system for the community, said RTA CEO Lona Edwards Hankins.
The priorities are outlined in the 2026 Board and CEO Initiatives and Action Plan, which serves as a roadmap to guide the agency’s work throughout the year and ensure continued progress and accountability on voter-approved transportation investments and essential mobility services.
