Transdev North America announces the extension of its two successful partnerships with Foothill Transit : managing and operating the Foothill Transit Arcadia Irwindale Operations and Maintenance Facility and the management of Foothill Transit’s Transit Stores in West Covina and El Monte, California.
Since 2014, Transdev has been operating express service from the San Gabriel Valley to downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena, and local routes within the San Gabriel Valley out of Foothill Transit’s Arcadia Irwindale Operations and Maintenance Facility. The company is responsible for more than 500 employees and 209 vehicles, including Foothill Transit’s compressed natural gas (CNG), battery electric vehicles, and in the future, new hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
We are proud of the relationship we have built with Foothill Transit over the years and appreciate the confidence they have in our expertise to support them and meet the needs of our passengers.
Doug Gies, Transdev Regional Vice President for the Southwest
