Transdev announces continued partnership with New Jersey Transit

Transdev will continue its partnership with New Jersey Transit to operate the agency’s Monmouth County Area Local Bus service for another three years.

Transdev has operated this contract for New Jersey Transit for close to 30 years.

As part of this partnership, Transdev manages the operations, maintenance and operator recruitment and training of Monmouth County’s seven fixed routes, which includes 20 vehicles and 55 employees.

“We look forward to continuing this strong relationship with Monmouth County,” said Justin Augustine, Transdev’s northeast regional vice president. “We are excited to lend our expertise and bring added value to the service, which will ultimately benefit our client and our passengers.”

Transdev brings its commitment to the health and safety of its employees, passengers and the communities to its partnership with Monmouth County.

“We have a strong safety culture onsite, which translates not only to a positive work environment, but also to the great customer service and passenger experience our employees offer our riders,” added Rick Pascale, Transdev general manager for Monmouth County. “I look to forward to building on that in the years to come.”

The contract renewal was approved by the New Jersey Transit Board on Feb. 10, 2021 and became effective March 20, 2021.
