RATP Dev USA brings over 50 years -including the experience of our previous company - of success in managing and operating high-quality, safe, responsive and efficient transit systems throughout the United States. As part of a broader global organization, RATP Dev marshals the resources, talent and innovative spirit from our global operating agencies. With our unique history of designing, managing, operating, maintaining and modernizing all forms of public transport, we offer an unmatched level of expertise.
Founded in Paris nearly 120 years ago, RATP Dev’s first Metro line crossed the French Capital and opened for the Paris World Fair on July 19, 1900 after eighteen months of construction. Today, RATP Group is one of the world’s largest providers of transit. RATP Dev, a wholly owned subsidiary of RATP Group, offers services to urban networks in 16 countries, including North America.
SUPPORTING YOUR TRANSPORTATION TO BRING US CLOSER TOGETHER.
First and foremost, RATP Dev serves our clients and people. All that we do starts with our strong commitment to core services in North America, in bus, rail, streetcar, paratransit, and demand response transit and the passengers who ride these services each and every day. A client’s trust is the most important quality of our partnership.
As a wholly owned subsidiary RATP Group we look to our colleagues in Paris and across the globe, to help expand services in North America. As a result, we have gained expertise in managing some of the world’s largest and most advanced public transit networks – specifically expertise in operations, management, electric buses, autonomous vehicles, rideshare program, and transit technology.
Thank you to clients who have grown with us as we recently unified our brands under the RATP Dev name as a culmination of the organization’s strategic growth plan. We will continue to have an expanded focus on Safety & Security and Product Innovation in both the rail and bus services divisions. To new and prospective clients, welcome. The ride only gets better from here.
