#MTMTRANSIT
As communities are challenged with increasing access while containing costs, MTM Transit strives to achieve these goals while focusing on what matters most: the passenger. Helping the disabled, elderly, and other transportation disadvantaged populations with their transit needs is the core of our operations.
In 2009, MTM’s leadership created MTM Transit, to offer an unparalleled hands-on management approach for transportation needs. MTM Transit offers viable solutions that help public transit agencies connect the pieces of a community’s transportation options in an effort to increase fixed route utilization, reduce costs, and remove community barriers. From utilizing mobility management tools like assessments and travel training to promote public transit ridership, to fully managing the operation of fixed route and paratransit services, to overseeing quality assurance for multi-vendor transit systems, MTM Transit can help solve even your toughest transit challenges. We remain committed to providing quality transit services to individuals who, without reliable transportation, may be unable to take advantage of employment opportunities, get to the doctor, and access other community resources.
Over the past 12 years, MTM Transit has grown responsibly by focusing on the passenger experience and providing unparalleled hands-on management. We’ve also enhanced our service offerings, growing with our clients to offer innovative services like on-demand microtransit systems.
