Since that time MV has grown, now generating over $1.3B in 2022 annual revenues and representing more than 200 public transit agencies and private companies in performing their passenger transportation service in both the U.S. and Canada. It is the largest privately owned transportation company in North America, providing paratransit, fixed route, shuttle and school transportation services. .
