Opportunities can feel few and far between these days, which is exactly why the U.S. must seize the one it was recently handed: a rare chance to give public transportation the makeover that current passengers have long demanded and that which there is a latent demand for by potential passengers.
With 30 years of experience in the public transport sector, David Scorey will continue to develop Keolis' activities in the U.S. and Canada.
Under this global agreement, Texelis will provide support to Keolis for the development of innovative mobility solutions, such as new bogie systems and transportation concepts.
Clément Michel is the group's new senior executive VP of human resources and transformation, while Annelise Avril will assume the role of senior executive VP of marketing, innovation, and new mobilities.
The five-year contract further strengthens Keolis’ multimodal presence in Virginia, where it currently operates a bus network and the Virginia Railway Express commuter rail.
Keolis will operate and maintain a fleet of 114 buses and two vans which will carry over three million passengers per year.
First Transit is one of six private transit operating firms to announce its involvement with NATA to help cities across North America promote innovative transportation solutions that ensure transit continues to deliver safe, clean, and reliable mobility options.
The contractor will begin operating the OmniRide service Nov. 1 and has already begun changeover activities to ensure a smooth transition that will be invisible to riders.
VRE's contract will now run through 2025, while MBTA will run through 2026.
On June 6, the Baker-Polito Administration announced a transition to Phase 2 of Reopening Massachusetts, a phase that continues to require face coverings or masks as a precaution.
