Julie Castillo was originally hired by Total Transit in 2001 as a medical transport driver, where she first illustrated her dedication to excellence.
The news comes as National Express confirmed 19 vehicles for its West Midlands bus operation in Birmingham.
The agency will be providing 82 buses for the fleet and it is expected that we will hire approximately 150 drivers and 20 staff members.
The acquisition offers significant benefits to National Express, including a renewed presence in the Phoenix and Tucson markets.
Established in 1984, DTS has approximately 270 employees and 151 vehicles providing paratransit and shuttle service to the Greater Washington, D.C. area.
Staffed 24/7 with more than 100 drivers and 58 buses, free National Express shuttles will be running every 10 minutes during peak service and 20 to 30 minutes at lower-volume commuting times.
As more agencies shift from a traditional bus-only model to a multimodal system to cut costs and expand services, contractorsare helping them adapt and grow with these new changes.
The Bus offers fixed-route and paratransit services to the communities of The Joint Powers Authority of Merced County’s seven member agencies, including the Cities of Atwater, Dos Palos, Gustine, Livingston, Los Banos, and Merced, and the County of Merced.
Four executives explain how they work to balance the reality of limited transit budgets with increasing customer service requirements and adapting to growing paratransit service demand.
The contract, which is for a ten-year period with the option to extend another 5 years, covers maintenance and spare parts on 74 four-car Class 357 ELECTROSTAR trains and is valued at approximately $213 million.
