Transdev begins new partnership with RTC of Southern Nevada July 1

Transdev North America is launching a new partnership with the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) beginning July 1.

Transdev will now be responsible for the operations, maintenance and dispatch of RTC’s fixed route transit services, as well as system safety and community engagement. The contract was originally awarded to First Transit before Transdev finalized an agreement to acquire First Transit.

The RTC’s transit system provides more than 40 million passenger trips per year using more than 400 vehicles and nearly 1,500 employees.

“We are excited to work with RTC of Southern Nevada to provide safe, reliable, professional passenger service to the community,” said Susan Sweat, Transdev’s COO. “We look forward to sharing our expertise and best practices to support the transition of their fleet to battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. We believe we will make a positive impact on passenger experience for our riders, based on our commitment to safety, service and sustainability."
