By maintaining high standards of excellence and professionalism, we aim to deliver reliable, safe service that meets the needs and exceeds the expectations of CapMetro and its passengers.”'
During the COVID-19 pandemic, MTM Transit partnered with CapMetro to deliver meals to Austin, Texas, residents in need. The team’s commitment to community support was further demonstrated during the February 2021 ice storm, where MTM Transit provided essential services, including water delivery and emergency transportation.
MTM Transit’s efforts to enhance community connectivity included the Mobile Hot Spot Program, which brought internet access to underserved areas during the pandemic. Additionally, contributions to food delivery programs and support for community initiatives have solidified the company’s role as a valued partner in the Austin area.
