The Solano County Transit (SolTrans) Board of Directors will decide Thursday whether to award a multi-million dollar contract for transit operations to a well-known service provider, ending an eight-year relationship with its current vendor.
SolTrans staff is recommending the board approve a five-year contract with Transdev Services Inc., which includes five one-year options that can extend the life of the contract through June 30, 2031. Transdev has over 200 contract operations throughout the nation, with many of those agreements in California, staff added.
If approved by the board, Transdev will take over operations on July 1, which will cost the transit agency about $9.1 million for fiscal 2021-22. The 10-year budget estimate over the life of contract is about $120 million.
