In this quarter’s Transit Talks, Regional Director of Operations Diana Do shares how MTM Transit’s travel training program is transforming lives! Public transportation can be overwhelming, but our expert trainers provide hands-on instruction to help individuals—especially seniors and people with disabilities—confidently navigate fixed route transit. By fostering independence and accessibility, we’re reducing reliance on paratransit and building more inclusive communities. Learn how travel training makes a difference, like Everett’s journey to transit independence in St. Louis!

Huge congratulations to our own Wally Acosta and Ted Ward for their outstanding performances at the Texas Transit Association (TTA) State Roadeo! Wally placed third, and Ted secured second place, showcasing their exceptional skills and dedication. A big shoutout also goes to Tito Hernandez for his hard work in helping set up the competition courses! Their commitment to excellence makes us proud, and they represented both MTM Transit and our client CapitalMetro with skill and professionalism. Way to set the bar high!

Wheelchair safety isn’t just a checkbox—it’s the heart of accessible transit. Our Eugene, Oregon team recently hosted a stellar training session for vehicle operators, zeroing in on wheelchair securement and ADA guidelines. As operators of the RideSource ADA paratransit program with Lane Transit District, they’re ensuring every passenger enjoys a safe, comfortable ride.

MTM Transit’s cutting-edge Mobility Direct platform just got even better with two new features: applicant notifications and the Mobility Direct Applicant Portal. These updates make ADA eligibility more transparent, efficient, and user-friendly for passengers and transit agencies alike. Discover how these enhancements are continuing to transform the ADA eligibility process!
