Transdev's San Francisco paratransit contract extended
The contract also includes providing paratransit services using 112 SFTMA vehicles. Transdev employs more than 200 people in San Francisco and the Brisbane Operations Center located south of the city.
Transdev North America announced that its paratransit services contract with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has been renewed. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the contract renewal earlier this summer.
Transdev has managed paratransit services for SFMTA since 2000 and directly operates approximately 35% of the agency’s 800,000 annual paratransit trips, overseeing all aspects of a complex San Francisco Bay Area brokerage network, utilizing taxis, social service agency vans and private fleets to provide paratransit services.
