MV Transportation, Inc. was founded in 1975 by husband and wife team, Alex and Feysan Lodde. For the first twenty years of service, the company remained small, operating in fewer than 10 locations. In the mid 1990s the transportation industry experienced a wave of consolidation when several small and mid-sized companies merged and acquired each other. As a result, major multinational corporations emerged. At this time, MV Transportation emerged as a new contract option in public transit with the goal of ensuring fair competition and offering choice in transportation.
Today, MV Transportation operates more than 7,000 vehicles across the United States and Canada and continues to offer cities, counties, transit authorities and private companies transportation in paratransit, fixed route, flex route, commuter service and Medicaid transportation management. MV also contracts with several entities to provide turnkey services, operating all modes of service under one contract.
