In 2017, the National Parks Association asked RATP Dev to pilot a program with a Proterra Electric Bus, to determine future transit plans for Zion National Park. RATP Dev assisted in the lease of a 40ft. long-range Proterra bus for a three-month trial period. With the partnership of the local General Manager, the three-month trial period allowed our RATP Dev Mechanics, Operators, and Key Personnel to become proficient with the Proterra bus procedures to replicate the management, training and mechanical duties for a future fleet.

RATP Dev assumed management and operation of the City of Lubbock’s 100-vehicle transit system. The local RATP Dev management team oversees service in five specific areas: fixed-route, citiAccess (Paratransit-Medicaid Contract with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission), special services, Texas Tech University service, and service as the Lubbock Agent for Greyhound Services. The fixed-route and citiAccess services provide safe and reliable transportation for Lubbock citizens throughout the community. 

By collaborating with a local social media consultant, GoBG Transit received a fresh look with a new website, new graphics for the buses (bus wraps), a new logo, and social media pages.

RATP Dev USA has hired a full-time recruiter for this location. Part of our training for new drivers includes the CDL training and certification process. We have also partnered with trucking schools to use their services as needed. And finally, we have partnered with the city to give employee bonuses and used agency-supplied CARES Act funding to assist as needed.

RATP Dev established a six-person transition team to complete outstanding activities within five days. Today, RATP Dev delivers end-to-end operational expertise including human resources, vehicle preventative maintenance plans, customer support, and management oversight while working closely with city staff to support transit service enhancements and modifications.

RATP Dev provides a fixed-route, ADA compliant paratransit service in the city of Augusta and demand response services in Richmond County, GA, outside the city limits of Augusta.

Without the FTA funding for new vehicles, we have worked to refurbish existing equipment. Once a transit bus has met the useful life, the vehicle is refurbished with new flooring, seating, engine, transmission, interior lighting, ADA accommodations, and exterior painting. This extends the useful life of the vehicle and keeps it in a State of Good Repair. This initiative saves the client approximately 1/3 of the cost of a new vehicle.
