Transdev began operating service on Oct. 5, under a new bus contract with Foothill Transit. After a seamless startup, Transdev is now providing operations and maintenance for approximately half of Foothill Transit’s service with 145 vehicles and 382 employees. This contract was awarded to Transdev in July and is focused on bus operations originating from Foothill’s Arcadia operations and maintenance facility.
“We are honored to have the opportunity to provide an outstanding customer experience to the passengers of Foothill Transit. Going forward, we plan to implement cutting-edge technology to improve on-time performance and operational execution,” said Mark Joseph, CEO of Transdev North America.
Transdev will bring innovation to this contract through the addition of a new bus operations center, which will enable more active management of drivers and the vehicles deployed at any given time within the system. The company will also bring innovations to the customer experience through improved customer feedback management, additional social media engagement and new, improved dispatching tools.
