DART Awards Contract for Mobility Management Services

On Tuesday, June 18, the DART Board awarded an eight-year and three-month contract to Transdev Services, Inc. (Transdev) for mobility management services (MMS). This contract encompasses the operation of DART's Paratransit, Microtransit, and Rider Assistance Programs.

Transdev's role will be crucial in transporting special-needs riders on Paratransit and the public on Microtransit effectively. DART will collaborate with the current contractor, MV Transportation, Inc., to ensure a seamless transition for customers when Transdev begins operating MMS service on October 1, 2024.

“DART is pleased to make this change in our mobility management services program and further our mission of providing clean, reliable, and safe services for our customers,” stated Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer Bernard Jackson. “Our staff appreciates the Board approving this investment for the agency and our customers.”

Transdev will manage Paratransit services as per the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) across DART's 13 member cities and DFW International Airport. Transdev will also handle operations for Microtransit services in the 34 zones currently available to customers, with the contract mandating that approximately 45% of the MMS service be operated by directly employed drivers to enhance customer service. This, along with several accountability measures, will ensure high standards across all service modes. Transdev will also introduce a new fleet of vehicles and integrate all services onto a single technology platform with Spare Labs.

With approximately 11,000 riders certified to use Paratransit services and with Microtransit ridership of over 886,000 in fiscal year 2023, the partnership with Transdev positions DART to continue leading in providing comprehensive mobility management solutions for the Dallas area.
