May 03, 2011 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Today, MV Transportation, Inc. announced the successful start-up of its contract to operate Green Bay METRO's paratransit services. MV Transportation was chosen over the incumbent provider by unanimous vote in early April and will provide the services under its new three-year agreement with two (2) one-year renewal options.

In just under one month, MV transitioned the 23-vehicle paratransit operation and began service with an on-time roll out. The paratransit service makes more than 67,000 annual trips through Green Bay, Wisconsin and the surrounding areas. MV will also work with Green Bay METRO to implement updated software and technology and to rename the system.

"This new contract in Green Bay not only expands MV's service area but it also gives our team a unique opportunity to assist the community with Green Bay METRO's rebranding efforts. We are looking forward to the continued success of this contract," said Doug Gies, President of East Operations, MV Transportation.

By working with MV Transportation, Green Bay METRO is able to save 3 percent over the incumbent provider while increasing the level of service and technology.
