Since its first contract with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) in 2001, MV has become the largest provider of services for LADOT. Today, MV operates and maintains 245 gas, propane, and CNG vehicles supporting fixed route, commuter, and paratransit operations throughout LADOT’s service area:
Cityride Dial-A-Ride: Cityride is a reservations-based, curb-to-curb paratransit service available for eligible persons with disabilities and persons age 65 or older. Operated exclusively by MV, Cityride serves three geographical areas in Los Angeles County.
DASH: The DASH community fixed route service operates in neighborhoods throughout the City of Los Angeles and the downtown area, connecting residents to other fixed route and rail services. MV operates this service in the Central, South, and North regions.
Commuter Express: Commuter Express provides limited-stop fixed route service, primarily serving commuters whose destinations are in the downtown Los Angeles area. MV operates this service in the North and South regions.
Throughout its longstanding relationship with LADOT, MV has operated these three services in various contractual combinations and has worked with the Department to optimally reorganize the service packages. MV also maintains a forward-thinking technology strategy ensuring the LADOT system runs efficiency and reliably to include mobile driver terminals and software systems for scheduling, dispatch and service monitoring.
