MV Transportation, Inc. announced it has been unanimously selected by the South Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) to operate CCT Connect door-to-door transportation service for senior citizens and ADA passengers in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The new five year contract will begin July 28, 2011 and represents $3.5 million in savings for SEPTA.

MV Transportation has a history of successful work with SEPTA; this is MV's third paratransit contract with the agency since 2004.

MV Transportation will run management, maintenance and operations of the entire 118 bus CCT Connect fleet.

"MV is excited to undertake one of the area's largest paratransit contracts and honored to expand our relationship with SEPTA," said Doug Gies President of east operations, MV Transportation, Inc. "We are proud to operate such important services for the citizens of Pennsylvania in both Philadelphia and Bucks Counties."
