Transdev extends for seven years its partnership with Nassau County (New York State) until 2030.
Issy-les-Moulineaux (France), November 14, 2023 – Nassau County (New York), has renewed for seven years its multi-year contract with Transdev to operate and maintain its bus service, the Nassau Inter-County Express or NICE Bus, from January 1,2024. After a competitive bidding process was completed in January of this year, it was once again Transdev North America, whose initial contract began in 2012, that was awarded the bus transit system contract. The new agreement is worth almost $1.3 billion (€1.2 billion) over its entire duration, until 2030.
- In the United States, Transdev wins the Nassau County bus contract for a further 7 years.
- Sales volume for the entire agreement is close to $1.3 billion.
- Transdev is the leading operator of public transportation services in the United States and Canada.
In Nassau County, which stretches over 1,173 km2 on the western part of Long Island, the NICE Bus network includes 2,500 stops, providing residents bordering New York City with easy access to major subway, rail stations and bus hubs.
“Our strong commitment to the people of Nassau County was recognized through this contract renewal. We are proud to connect people to the places they care about, through a safe and reliable service.”
NICE Bus relies on the work and commitment of 850 employees and manages the operations of 280 buses assigned to fixed routes and a fleet of over 100 vehicles dedicated to adapted transport for people with reduced mobility (with ADA – Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 – eligibility certification). In all, more than 300,000 journeys are made every year.
“We are strengthening ever more our activities in North America. Since the acquisition of First Transit last March, Transdev has become the leading public transportation operator in the United States and Canada. In the two largest countries in the Americas, we are meeting the needs of every local authority, with the key challenge to render mobility accessible to the majority of people. We will be transporting nearly 400 million passengers a year. At the same time, we are supporting transit authorities in their energy transition, through the increasing deployment of vehicles with an ever reduced carbon footprint.”
