The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority recently awarded MV Transportation a three-year contract to continue its operation and maintenance of the Wheels fixed route bus system.
Effective this July through June 2028, MV responsibilities also include safety, dispatching, road supervision and maintenance of LAVTA facilities and vehicles.
The new contract with MV reflects an increase in wages for the existing workforce and includes new standards for technology and innovation, according to an announcement by LAVTA.
LAVTA Board of Directors awarded the contract to MV at its meeting March 3, in part because it offered the best value cost proposal at current service levels.
“It is clear to me that MV is committed to the workforce, and that commitment set MV apart from the other proposers,” said Evan Branning, chair of the LAVTA Board of Directors. “We are excited to extend this partnership with MV and continue to deliver quality, safe and professional bus service throughout the Tri-Valley.”
Founded in 1975, MV has offered transportation services through partnerships with over 200 city and county government transit agencies, school districts, universities and corporations, according to its website. It has operated Wheels since 2007.
“This contract award builds our partnership with LAVTA and is foundational to MV’s footprint in the Bay Area, underscoring MV’s proven ability to deliver safe, reliable and efficient fixed route services,” MV President and COO Kevin Klika said in a statement.
