MV Transportation

MV Transportation, Inc., established in 1975 by Alex and Feysan Lodde, is the largest privately owned passenger transportation contracting firm in the United States. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, the company offers a comprehensive suite of transportation services.

These include paratransit, fixed-route, campus and corporate shuttles, and student transportation. Serving over 110 million passengers annually across 30 states and Canada, MV Transportation employs more than 20,000 dedicated transit professionals.

The company's journey began in San Francisco, California, where the Loddes recognized the limited transportation options available for the elderly and individuals with disabilities. This insight led to the inception of MediVan, which later evolved into MV Transportation in 1990.

Over the decades, MV Transportation has expanded its reach, partnering with over 200 city and county government transit agencies, school districts, universities, and corporations to provide safe, reliable, and affordable transportation solutions.
