 Micro Transit definition: The time from when a vehicle makes its first pick-up through the time of its last drop-off, excluding driver breaks and lunch breaks, fueling time and downtime for road calls. Driver time to and from breaks, as well as lunch breaks, will be excluded. Fueling time is never considered a Revenue Service Hour, but rather “dead head” miles if bus refuels mid-day.

D. Adjustments to Services
It is expected that Transit Services will be periodically adjusted, as determined by the City in its sole discretion, and in consultation with the Contractor. Modifications may include, but are not limited to, adding or deleting bus stops, extending, deleting or adding routes, or parts of routes, and expanding or decreasing service hours by up to 15% in either direction without changing the revenue service hour rate proposed by the successful Contractor. This increase or decrease shall be considered from a base figure of 20,155 annual revenue hours.

Any such modifications in the number of service hours within the 15% levels established in this Scope of Work shall not require a modification of the revenue service hour rate provided in the Agreement. Such currencies of an increase or decrease within the 15% level shall be agreed upon and provided for in writing.

Any other change by the City in the Scope of Work that results in a modification to the number of service hours outside of the proscribed 15% levels shall result in a negotiated rate between City and Contractor. Contractor shall supply City with documentation of changes in costs resulting from the modification of the number of service hours or change in the Scope of Work and City shall, in its sole discretion, determine the allowable rates to be paid for revenue service hours above the levels set forth, after input from the Contractor on proposed increased service rates. The Contractor shall be compensated for these modifications by the same terms and mutually determine how many service hours (or fractions thereof) are involved in such adjustments.

The City will notify the Contractor a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days in advance of any major service changes. It would be expected that agreement to make minor service changes in a shorter timeframe would be possible through cooperative efforts of the City and the Contractor.

E. Resources and Facilities

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION

1. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective primary participant is providing the certification set out below.

2. The inability of a person to provide the certification required below will not necessarily result in denial of participation in this covered transaction. The prospective participant shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the department or agency's determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the prospective primary participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in this transaction.

3. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when the department or agency determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later determined that the prospective primary participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

4. The prospective primary participant shall provide immediate written notice to the department or agency to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective primary participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

Page 39 of 52 ends

8. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the ineligibility of its principals. Each participant may, but is not required to, check the Non-procurement List.

9. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause.

The knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

10. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

Addendum No. 1 Request for Proposals for City of Baldwin Park Transit Services Addendum Date: September 24, 2025 Proposal Due Date October 2, 2025 Anticipated Contract Award Date: November 5, 2025 NOTICE TO ALL PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS: You are hereby notified of the following changes and/or additions to the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the above-referenced project provided for in the Questions and Answers herein. Such changes and/or additions are hereby made as part of the original Request for Proposals and shall take precedence over anything to the contrary therein. QUESTIONS/ANSWERS: 1. In reference to Section 2.2 on Page 10, which says "Fixed Route Service" operates "Monday through Friday," and Section 2.3 on Page 11-12, which shows fixed-route service Monday to Friday and microtransit on weekends, will the City confirm if microtransit replaces fixed-route, and clarify hours including weekend fixed-route service? Yes, microtransit service will run on the weekends only. Fixed-route service will run on weekdays only. 2. In reference to Section 2.5.C on Pages 14-15, which defines microtransit revenue hours from first pick-up to last drop-off like Dial-A-Ride, and noting that demand may not be predictable, will the City adjust revenue hours to cover scheduled driver start and end times? Yes, daily revenue hours shall be equal to daily operating hours and shall not exceed the daily operating hours. 3. In reference to Section 2.3 on Page 12, which suggests that microtransit service may be a substitute for weekend fixed-route services, and Section 2.4 on Page 13, states that the contractor will provide like vehicles for Dial-A-Ride and microtransit, will the City consider allowing a proposer to substitute requirements for microtransit vehicles using minivans, ADA accessible, or otherwise?

Page 394 of 520 ends

City Transit Services Addendum No. 1
The specifications for Dial-A-Ride vehicles are hereby revised. Dial-A-Ride vehicles shall accommodate four (4) passengers and one (1) wheelchair position. All other vehicles specified in the RFP will not be changed. 4. In reference to Section 2.5.A on Page 20, which requires vehicle repair, and Section 1.1 on Page 4, which allows cost negotiation, and noting the age and mileage of City owned vehicles, would the City consider allowing contractor to pass through its costs for major repairs to City owned vehicles? Yes, the City will cover major repair costs (transmission and engine overhauls). Written approval by the City is required prior to repairs. 5. We respectfully request that the City allow for digital submission (e.g. by email, portal upload, or similar). Yes, we will allow digital or electronic submission. Please email proposals to City Clerk Shirley Quinones email [email protected] and Daniel Padilla email [email protected]. It is the contractor’s sole responsibility to submit electronically prior to the deadline. The City is not responsible for IT issues, electrical, or internet outages. 6. Can the City please allow the use of verified e-signatures for this submission? Yes, we will allow. 7. In reference to Section 2.5.H on Page 17, which covers technology without software merging, and Section 2.3 on Page 11, which separates microtransit and Dial-A-Ride services, does the City want one software system for both, and if so, can contractor comingle trips between these systems when trip demand reaches capacity on one, or the other? Yes, one software for both services. Contractor shall not comingle trips. 8. In reference to Section 2.5.H on Page 17, which mandates a software that tracks vehicle locations, can proposers use multiple software solutions for different needs between fixed-route and demand response (i.e., Dial-A-Ride and microtransit) service modes? No, the same software shall be used for all services. 9. In reference to Section 2.5.J on Page 20, which tracks fare programs with City fare control, will the Contractor make and distribute passes and tickets, or will the City continue to produce and distribute its own fare media?

Page 395 of 520 ends

City Transit Services Addendum No. 1
Contractor shall be responsible for tracking passengers onboarding based on fare type. 10. In reference to Section 1.2 on Page 4, which sets the deadline as "October 2, 2025, at 3:00 pm," and Section 1.3 on Page 5, which rejects late proposals, and Section 1.5 on Page 6, which allows RFP changes, will the City extend the deadline to October 16-23, 2025, in order to allow sufficient time for reviewing clarifications and building a thorough proposal? No, the City will not extend the deadline. The City will allow the proposals to be submitted via email (See answer to Question 5). The City is not responsible for technical issues, or power or internet outages. 11. Page 4, Section 1.2 Start Date: Would the City consider extend the Start of Service date by 3 months to allow for the purchase and securement of the required Dial-A-Ride and microtransit vehicles? The City will consider postponing the start of service date to allow for the acquisition of vehicles. It is the intent of the City to start the new service as soon as possible; therefore, the City will not commit to a full 3 months postponement. 12. Page 4, Section 1.2 Due Date: Would the City consider extending the due date by at least 2 weeks to allow bidders time to review and develop a comprehensive response and pricing to the RFP? The city will not extend or postpone the due date. The RFP was issued on 9-1-25, which gives contractors one month to prepare their proposals, including one week to make the final adjustments. 13. Page 4, Section 1.3: Request the City consider proposals be submitted electronically. Given the very short RFP timeline every day is needed to develop and prepare a viable proposal for the City's RFP. Shipping proposals requires a minimum 2 days to ensure delivery which decreases the amount of time companies have to create a proposal. The City will allow proposals to be submitted electronically. See answer to question 5. 14. Page 14, Section C: For fixed-route service, please clarify if billable time continues past scheduled hours on the last trip due to exterior factors (traffic, weather, incidents, etc.). No, billable time does not typically continue past scheduled times for exterior factors. The City will consider unique exceptions on a case by case basis if billable time is extended beyond 30 minutes due to exterior factors.

Page 14, Section C: For microtransit service, request the City consider revising the Revenue Hour definition for billable time to be for the schedule hours of service when a vehicle is available for service, less driver meals, fueling, time not in the service area. Microtransit is an unknown level of service with demand that can vary significantly day to day, however the operator/vehicle is required to be available for service during the scheduled service hours regardless of whether anyone requests a ride or not. Yes, we hereby revise the definition of revenue hours to operating hours. 17. Page 20, Section K: Please confirm whether the Contractor is responsible for engine and transmission overhauls for the City provided vehicles? The City will be responsible for these repairs unless the contractor drivers are deemed negligent and responsible for engine and transmission damage. Written approval by the City is required prior to repairs. 18.

I am in awe of what would normally be a bunch of
‘talking heads’ (executives and co-founders) in most
organizations actually rolling up their sleeves and
working to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

I mean, decision makers actually making decisions
that have an immediate impact… If our customers
could see what I saw behind the scenes they would
have the utmost confidence in us! I look forward to
a very long PARTNERSHIP with Transdev.

Cities of Avondale, Goodyear, and Peoria, AZ
The Maricopa Association of Governments in Arizona sought a microtransit solution to address demand efficiently. The WeRide microtransit pilot initially served the City of Avondale. With the pilot’s success and increasing demand, the Association implemented the WeRide service in 2022.

Transdev worked with RideCo to identify strategic pick-up and drop-off points as part of the service design. The strategic locations within each zone ensure that passengers walk no more than 10 minutes to get to their ride and facilitate seamless integration into the Valley Metro fixed route system.

In addition to Avondale, WeRide now also serves the Cities of Goodyear and Peoria. Our goal has been to meet 100 trips per day in each city, and we continue to exceed it — for example, we average 385 daily trips in Avondale and 200 daily trips in Goodyear. We staff Service Ambassadors who regularly engage with the community, provide outreach and support for WeRide services, and ensure we meet the passengers’ evolving needs with a 97% OTP and 4.5 Customer Satisfaction rating.

employees out on leave to anticipate
coverage needs. This effort also
includes maintaining an accurate
employee roster, adding new staff, and
removing employees who have been
terminated or resigned. With this
information, they can examine the next two weeks’ schedule and address any staffing shortages or run cut needs.

They ensure coverage for all routes and assign Operators to vehicles and routes, as well as prepare all paperwork and/or devices for the Operators’ use during service.

Operator Check-In
Operators check-in each day at the facility and a Dispatcher is on-site to conduct a fitness-for-duty check. A fitness-for-duty check ensures our Operators are ready to provide safe, professional service for our passengers. This check ensures they are well rested, not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, do not display any symptoms of illness, and are in possession of all requisite licensing and certifications. Operators who are deemed unfit for duty are sent home. Operators suspected of being under the influence will be subjected to a drug and alcohol test.

During check-in, our Dispatch team also ensures each Operator meets our appearance standards, including wearing an approved uniform. If the Operator is not in the appropriate uniform, if the uniform needs repair or washing, or if the Operator falls short of hygiene standards, they are sent home.

Pre-Trip Inspection
Pre-trip inspections are a critical component of our safety approach. Pre-trip inspections enable our Operators to identify vehicle safety issues before beginning service delivery. This approach minimizes the potential for accidents Service

Once Operators check in, they walk to the yard and retrieve their assigned vehicle to perform a pre-trip inspection.

The Operator follows a thorough checklist during the inspection which covers key areas on the vehicle interior and exterior. The Operator completes the inspection form, including their name, the vehicle number, date, odometer reading, and other relevant information. The Operator then records any deficiencies discovered during the inspection, including notes regarding what was heard or seen.

The pre-trip inspection typically includes a visual inspection of the vehicle, including identifying obvious defects, confirming interior and exterior cleanliness, checking the engine compartment for leaks, and assessing tire tread depth. The Operator also performs the following steps: Start the vehicle, listening for unusual noises; Check the dash lights and gauges; Check headlights, turn signals, four-way flashers, and head sign; Operate the front and rear doors; Check the passenger buzzer and stairwell lighting; Exit vehicle and check exterior lighting; Check the braking system; Check the climate control system; Cycle the wheelchair lift; no vehicle is allowed into service without a functioning wheelchair lift; and Confirm operability of all relevant functions of technology systems. The inspection checkpoints follow the order of the Operator’s progression around the vehicle, which reduces the potential for injury and increases efficiency.

For any defects discovered on pre- or post-trip inspections or during service, our team completes and submits a work order form to Maintenance in a timely manner. If the Operator discovers a safety defect, they must immediately contact a manager or supervisor. A manager or supervisor assigns a new vehicle to the Operator and contact Maintenance to coordinate further inspection and repair. If a safety defect is found, the vehicle is “locked out” and unavailable until the repair can be made. The Operator then performs a pre-trip inspection on the newly assigned vehicle. If no defect is found, the Operator proceeds from the yard onto their assigned route.

Daily vehicle inspection reports and any work orders are submitted to the Maintenance Department at the end of each operating day.

Route Initiation and Operation
Operators are the face of our service and key to its successful operation. We continually reinforce to our Operator trainees that our role as a company is to provide safe, courteous, and efficient transportation for each passenger we carry. Following the pre-trip inspection, the Operator signs into the tablet on their vehicle and then calls in to a Dispatcher to indicate that they are ready to depart the yard. They then review their manifest and head to their first destination. The Dispatch team uses our technology tools to monitor the timeliness of each vehicle’s departure.

Once they depart the yard, the Operators proceed to their first stop. Operators come to a complete stop, open the doors, collect fares, and assist passengers on board as needed. They are responsible for the safe loading of wheelchairs and mobility devices, strollers, and bicycles. Passengers who use wheelchairs and mobility devices are assisted with boarding. Operators use the on-board tablet or radio to contact Dispatch if delays or other service issues arise.

To help to reduce time delays and ensure passenger safety, we train Operators and Road Supervisors in safe and expeditious boarding, securement, and alighting of passengers who use wheelchairs or other mobility devices.

Page 433 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 20 Transdev achieves continual improvement of Operator performance with thorough training programs, honest feedback, and employee accountability. We consider it extremely important to spend more time with an employee who is facing challenges delivering outstanding performance. Performance concerns that may trigger retraining or discipline include attendance, passenger complaints, routing and navigation, or safety concerns.

Dispatch Monitoring
Transdev’s Dispatch team sets the tone for on-route timeliness. They make informed decisions based on ever- changing conditions, anticipate potential challenges, and respond accordingly. Their primary responsibility is to ensure vehicles maintain on-time performance through responsive service monitoring.

The Dispatch team uses all available communications systems and technologies, as well as geographical knowledge of the service area, in their daily duties. Throughout the service day, the Dispatchers also: Monitor schedule adherence to maintain on-time performance; Coordinate response to in-service issues, including accidents and incidents, vehicle breakdowns, traffic delays, detours, relays, and strategic spare assignments; Communicate with Operators on the road to assess and resolve service challenges; Provide continuous monitoring and controlling of assigned radio frequencies; Ensure all voice radio communications pertain to service and adhere to all relevant FCC rules and regulations; Use RideCo for DAR and Microtransit to reschedule trips and optimize route slack from no- shows or late cancellations; and Contact emergency services if necessary.

Dispatch also plays a key role in keeping service moving when the unexpected occurs, including vehicle breakdowns, accidents, and incidents. In the event of a disabled vehicle, our dispatch team reports the situation and all relevant information to the Maintenance Department so that response may be coordinated.

Service Supervision
Our management team monitors Operator performance, including on-time pull-out and pre- and post-trip inspections and respond to service issues such as delays and accidents/incidents. Road observations are conducted to promote positive customer service and monitor compliance with Transdev, state, and federal laws for safe vehicle operation. Our service supervision follows Transdev and City requirements to promote successful operations, safety, and passenger satisfaction.

Our team assesses Operator and service support needs through periodic meetings and continuous communication during the service day. Through their oversight of the service, our management and supervisory team identify specific problems and report or correct them as appropriate. Key areas of oversight while Operators are in service include:
• Contractual and Regulatory Compliance: Road observation ensures Operators follow all City, Transdev ,
loc
al, state, and federal laws for safe vehicle operation. Our Supervisors are fully trained in all aspects of the City
’s services, including rules and regulations, routes, schedules, emergency procedures, safety, ADA requirements, reporting protocols, and other requirements. • Custom
er Service: Our Supervisors ensure that Operators follow Transdev policies for safe, reliable servi
ce by observing customer service quality through ride-a-longs and road observation s. • Em
ergencies: Our Supervisors are trained and equipped to respond to emergencies, assist Operators wh
ere necessary, and ensure on-time and safe performance. They provide on-going feedback to man
agement and City staff regarding ideas for service improvements.

Page 434 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 21 • Safety Issues: If an accident/incident occurs, a Supervisor investigates, photographs, and includes thei r report on the accident to the
Safety Manager. The Supervisors also monitor feedback from DriveCam to ensure Operators are developing safe driving habits and not performing any unsafe acts such as cell phone use, which is strictly forbidden during operation.

Return to Yard and Post-Trip Inspection
After arrival at the last stop on the route/schedule, the Operator proceeds back to the yard. Once they arrive, Operators are required to complete a post-trip inspection. As with the pre-trip inspection, the Operator checks the vehicle interior and exterior, using the post-trip inspection checklist. While in route, Operators are aware and take note of any changes in the vehicle’s performance and note any problems on the post-trip inspection. The Supervisor also oversees pull-in and perform pull-in inspections at random to check on Operators in their work environment.

Operators then log out of the tablet and return the keys, the inspection report, and other materials used in service to the appropriate location or personnel.

At this point, the operations cycle is complete, and the team begins preparation for the following service day.

Recruiting and Hiring Operators
Transdev invests heavily in our employees and works diligently to develop them as individuals. We promote fair hiring practices as we implement new strategies to attract and retain the best employees. Our regional Human Resources and local management teams adhere to all state and federal employment laws, and our Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity Plan forms the foundation of our hiring practices and employment policies. We designed our hiring process to identify suitable candidates who possess a positive attitude and are trainable. Our Operator training program provides the tools for new Operators to develop meaningful and rewarding careers and provide valuable services to the community.

Transdev’s Creative Recruitment Processes to Attract New Operators To combat the impact of national demand for Operators and a competitive hiring environment, Transdev has implemented new, creative recruitment methods. We identified innovative methods to attract the younger generation of transit professionals, and we are using the following strategies at operating locations throughout the U.S. to maximize mobile technology and attract as many applicants as possible. Transdev also targets our recruitment efforts to each specific community where we operate service.

Our recruitment strategies may include the following: Targeting users of the popular WAZE app; Geofencing to cast a wide net in a specific geographic boundary; Creating geographically targeted Google and Facebook ads; Implementing Text Apply, a straightforward process that allows candidates to apply for jobs on their smartphones; and Leveraging algorithms specific to our target market to promote open positions on Internet radio, including iHeart Radio, Pandora, and Spotify.

Transdev continues to recruit through job posting websites, including www.Indeed.com. We use Indeed Easy Apply to simplify the application process for candidates using Indeed’s resume database. Candidates may click a button to apply and bypass our login registration. Their resume information is imported, and candidates fill out any incomplete fields in our hiring software, JobVite.

Page 435 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 22 Traditional Recruiting Practices
While mobile and online recruiting are efficient, we still emphasize local recruiting, outreach, word-of-mouth, promoting from within, and print advertising. This includes: Local Recruiting; On-Vehicle Recruiting; Employee Referrals; Veterans Outreach; Job Fairs; Developing Talent; Apprenticeship Programs; Published Advertising; Shaker Recruitment Agency; Facility Advertising; and Flyers.

Transdev hires employees who exhibit customer sensitivity, a positive attitude, and a commitment to safety. They must display integrity, be safety conscious, and understand that seniors and individuals with disabilities have unique needs.

Successful Hiring and Retention Strategy – Regional Recruiters Transdev has Regional Recruiters on staff to assist our locations with successful hiring and retention in today’s competitive labor market. Having these dedicated recruiters with comprehensive training in identifying qualified candidates and increasing the success rate of recruiting campaigns has been invaluable across our operations.

These Recruiters focus on building strong relationships with our location personnel to assist in defining and implementing targeted recruiting strategies. Depending on the strategy identified, they may: Maximize job board postings and other hiring advertisements across a variety of mediums; Analyze candidate metrics and progression through the hiring process; Work with locations to ensure candidates are being screened in a timely manner; Provide Applicant Tracking System training and ongoing support to the team; Assist with making the workplace more attractive to potential candidates; and Serve as Talent Advisors. Our Regional Recruiters also report weekly, monthly, and quarterly analytics as well as recruiting and hiring KPIs to our local management teams. They are in frequent contact with our local teams either in-person or virtually as needed to provide updates and manage recruiting campaigns.

Regional Recruiters give Transdev a major advantage in ensuring our operations are either fully staffed or have a well-defined action plan to get there.

Defining Hiring Requirements
We begin the employment selection process by defining the hiring requirements for employees. Our minimum standards for Operators are as follows.
• Must be able to read, write, and communicate effectively in English • Must be at least 21 years of age and have a driving record of at least three years • Must have a high school diploma or GED

Page 436 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 23 • Must be able to pass a DOT pre-employment drug screening that complies with United States Departm ent of Tran
sportation standards
• Must pass a criminal background check – an applicant will not be denied employment solely on the grou nds of a co
nviction for a criminal offense. Transdev will consider the type of offense, the date, and the relevance of the cr
iminal conviction in the employment decision. The Regional Director of Human Resources will review any background check that shows a conviction before we hire the applicant.

Our Seven-Step Screening Process
Transdev uses the following seven-step screening and hiring process for Operators.

Step 1. Written Application - We require all applicants to complete a written or online application detailing previous employment experience and education. Transdev checks all applications for completeness and accuracy and reviews work history and minimum requirements.

Step 2. In-Person Interviewing - In-person interviews help us confirm objective employment information. Transdev asks questions to test the applicant’s ability to comprehend and speak English and determine if an applicant can reason through instructions and construct a proper response. We use behavior-based interviewing techniques to ensure the applicant fits the position well.

Step 3. Drug and Alcohol Testing - Transdev complies with all U.S Department of Transportation regulations regarding drug and alcohol testing.

Step 4. Criminal Background Check - We hire a third-party firm to conduct criminal background checks, including federal and state records. The checks are intended to capture any information about prior felony convictions and whether the candidate is a wanted felon.

Step 5. Driving Record Check - Transdev conducts a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) driving record check prior to hiring. We regularly review the DMV driving record to ensure each Operator’s license complies with our requirements. Our insurance carrier also conducts an annual review of our Operators’ DMV records.

Step 6. Reference Check - Transdev verifies previous employment. We check information and contact references.

Step 7. Skills Testing /Training - Training is the final part of the hiring process, and trainees are conditional employees until they graduate from training. Trainees must demonstrate their ability to comprehend training material and verbalize and write their responses to specific questions and problems. Training also verifies an employee’s proficiency in English. During training, Operators must be able to demonstrate:
• Ability to speak and comprehend English
• Ability to safely operate a City vehicle on time
• A high level of customer care and service
• Proficiency in all materials presented in training
• Mastery of the defensive driving program
• Knowledge of the service area, routing, street numbering system, map reading, major trip generato r
loc
ations, etc.
• Kno
wledge of and ability to comply with all applicable DOT safety regulations • Understanding of accident and incident procedures and reports

Page 437 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 24 • Knowledge of proper fares and collection procedures • Proper use and procedures related to on-board communication equipment • Safe
operation of the vehicles, including bus maneuvers, familiarization, and pre-trip inspections • Security awareness
• Pass
enger sensitivity and assistance, lift procedures, and loading/ securing mobility devices Ongoing Background Checks
After hiring a safety-sensitive employee, we use a nationwide shared database called WebRisk to monitor compliance with our employment requirements. All safety-sensitive employees across the country are in this database, along with every type of permit with an expiration date. For each employee, this database tracks vital permits and licenses such as commercial Operator’s license dates, DOT physical dates, dates for the Operator’s annual road evaluation, annual motor vehicle records checks, and more.

When an employee’s permits, licenses, or evaluations approach an expiration date, an autogenerated email alert is sent to their Supervisor per the following schedule: Sixty days before any expiration of any permit, license, or evaluation, an automatic alert is sent via email to the Safety and Training Manager; Thirty days prior to expiration and within five days of expiration, an alert is sent to the Safety and Training Manager and the General/Program Manager.

Bilingual Preference
Transdev actively recruits and gives hiring preferences to individuals fluent in English and Spanish for passenger- facing positions, especially Operators and Dispatchers. Open positions are advertised in English and Spanish to assist in recruitment.

Safety and Training
Safety Program
At Transdev, safety is at the heart of everything we do. Our safety program has four pillars : Training, Reinforcement, Recognition, and Improvement.

Our Safety Policies and Procedures Manual provides the foundation of our safety program. We work diligently to create a safety culture by investing significant resources in training, employee development, and incentive programs, adhering to annual safety audit schedules, and complying with requirements and updates regulated by the FTA and FMCSA, along with ADA requirements for our passengers.

Maintaining a Safety Presence
Fostering a safe environment requires vigilance and attention, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. From the beginning, we have prioritized safety and adopted the mindset that it is a continual process of training, reminding, and following up multiple times a day in numerous ways. Our commitment to building a solid safety presence in every facility and among every group of Transdev employees sets us apart in the industry. We emphasize safety for our employees in the following three ways:

1. Facility-
and Policy-focused Safety – Safety begins on the first day of the job and is a constant thread ru
nning through training, communication, and employment policies.

Page 438 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 25 2. Safety Incentive Prog rams – We have developed several programs that reward employees for safe be
havior.

3. Safety T
echnology Solutions – Transdev’s safety technology solutions leverage onboard systems, real-time dat
a integration and alerts, and user-friendly dashboards to protect passengers, Operators, your fleet an d eq
uipment, and other travelers with whom we share our streets.

Facility and Policy Focused Safety
Safety Reminders
We keep visible safety reminders throughout all Transdev facilities, using every opportunity to underscore the importance of safety to our employees. Our initiatives include:

Messaging - We spread the message of safety verbally and in writing, across various mediums such as Dispatcher safety announcements, printed safety messages on floor mats, posters, flyers, and notices, bulletin boards, and a cloud-based digital messaging system.

Visuals - Our visual reminders of safety are easy to spot and include photographs, accident trend maps, safety slogans, and Perfect Safety Day counters.

Physical Reminders and Policies - We keep our spaces safe by incorporating highly visible stripes and safety chains for potentially unsafe areas, requiring PPE when applicable, using safety cones to mark off danger areas, and prohibiting the use of personal electronic devices. Transdev has a zero-tolerance policy for employees using cell phones while driving.

Safety Meetings
We hold regular, mandatory safety meetings to discuss concerns and address specific issues. Our short, focused safety meetings are helpful for explaining new safety initiatives and fostering safety discussions.

Mirror Check Stations
There are as many as 12 blind spots on a bus, and the best way to eliminate them is to adjust the vehicle’s mirrors correctly. We have mirror check stations in every Transdev facility, making it easy for Operators to check their mirrors daily. They use set reference points to line up their mirrors correctly before pulling out.

Identification of Hot Spots
Operators must know the danger spots to be prepared to slow down and react to them safely. We use Lytx DriveCam data to produce digital hot spot maps that identify road hazards, construction, low canopies, and intersections that are the most dangerous. We post photos of these areas to help Operators prepare for them and reduce accidents.

Transdev also uses Lytx DriveCam data to show problem-driving trends and teach Operators to change their actions, such as following too closely or hitting construction barrels.

Safety Incentive Programs
Transdev takes a creative approach to improving safety and looks for inventive methods to keep employees engaged and focused on safety. We have created several safety incentive programs to increase awareness and decrease unsafe behaviors.

Page 439 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 26 The Perfect Safety Day Initiative - Transdev’s Perfect Safety Day Initiative builds on daily achievements and promotes shared ownership of safety. A Perfect Safety Day is defined as: Zero preventable motor vehicle accidents; Zero passenger/pedestrian injuries requiring hospital transport; and Zero OSHA-recordable employee injuries.

Our Safety and Training Manager engages employees to actively contribute to these goals, tracked on scorecards at each location. The Perfect Safety Day program fosters a mindset that every day is a fresh start and every action an opportunity to improve, with successes recognized and celebrated.

Years of Safe Driving Program - Transdev created the Years of Safe Driving recognition program to honor Operators who have a full year without an accident or injury. For every year of driving without a preventable safety incident, Operators receive a pin and an accompanying certificate, and they are honored at quarterly safety meetings or semi-annual team meetings. The program shows appreciation for our Operators, celebrates their commitment to safety, and supports our Perfect Safety Day Initiative.

Safety Blitz Program – 24 Hours Devoted to Safety - Our regional and corporate safety managers developed the Safety Blitz program to address safety-related trends and challenges in underperforming locations. The Safety Blitz is a 24-hour, all-out safety onslaught. From the first trip out of the yard to the last, local, regional, and corporate safety team members coach, encourage, and motivate Operators to focus on safety. We theme our Safety Blitzes, such as “Stop in the Name of SAFETY”. This makes it fun for employees and reminds them of their role in keeping the roads safe. Locations serve food, play games, and offer prizes. Safety Blitzes are high energy. They get employees talking to one another, foster a sense of competitiveness, and most importantly, they work. We track performance pre- and post-Blitz, and safety improves following Blitzes.

Safety Basics
In addition to our monthly safety meetings and safety blitzes, we provide safety messaging and posters to all locations each month. Topics are specific and relevant to the current month. Examples include improving pedestrian safety during the holidays, keeping two hands on the wheel, and maintaining a safe following distance. 300:29:1 - American engineer William Heinrich created the 300:29:1 theory to demonstrate the relationship between unsafe behavior patterns, like backing without looking, and accidents.

Developed in 1931, this principle focuses on eliminating minor unsafe acts to prevent small accidents that could lead to major accidents. We educate employees to focus on every action because even trivial acts can accumulate and cause an accident. Transdev teaches our employees to identify the smallest unsafe acts, such as occasionally following too close, using signals a moment too late, and taking a turn too quickly. Our employees identify these acts and correct them to prevent accidents.

Zero Tolerance Policy – Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices - Transdev prohibits cell phones and other communication devices, such as Nextel devices, iPads, electronic tablets, pagers, and text messaging devices, with or without hands-free capability when operating a company or client vehicle. Failure to comply with this policy is cause for discipline up to and including termination of employment.

Safety Technology Solutions
Lytx DriveCam
Transdev installs Lytx DriveCam onboard surveillance and eco-driving systems in all dedicated fleet vehicles and non-revenue vehicles we manage. These interior and

Page 440 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 27 exterior view dashboard cameras record continual video and save recordings to the cloud to eliminate the risk of loss of footage. They also include artificial intelligence that analyzes data. The system supports accident investigations, and detects risks on the road in real time. This environmentally sound solution provides cost savings, creates a smoother ride, and improves the passenger experience.Lytx DriveCam data analysis scores events based on a risk index to identify and prioritize unsafe driving behaviors that are most likely to result in serious crashes. It also identifies Operators in need of coaching and retraining.

Lytx DriveCam Features
• 4G video event
• 100 hours of continuous recording, remote access to video, ability to view live feeds, and Multiple browsing speeds • Tracks Operator behavior and miles per gallon
• Provides clearer view from dashboard
• Identifies over 60 root-cause behaviors
• Triggers videos when Operators exceed posted speeds, perform rolling stops, and change lanes • Automatically batches coaching clips for individual Operators • Identifies top five Operators and behaviors and performance trends • Reports on individual behaviors
• Creates audible alerts for speeding, lane departures, and to improve following distance Lytx DriveCam Data
Transdev uses video clips and performance data to build comprehensive Operator profiles and review this information with Operators to improve their driving. We decrease the frequency and severity of collisions and related injuries by modifying inconsistent driving behavior and highlighting bad habits. Recordings provide unbiased evidence to determine fault and expose fraudulent insurance claims, reducing claims and litigation costs.

Q-Time Report
Transdev’s Q-Time Report was created to analyze the Operator vehicle inspection process. The report combines the ADP eTime system punch data with Geotab AVL data to provide insight into pre-trip and post-trip Operator processes. Data from Q-Time reports allows us to increase efficiency by streamlining steps within the process while ensuring consistency and quality.

Transdev operations facilities are geofenced in the Geotab system to record when vehicles enter and leave.

Operators also record the beginning and end of their pre-trip and post-trip inspections. When combined with punches from the timekeeping system, Transdev’s management teams can better understand what is happening before pullout and after Operators return to the yard. Managers can call up data points for an individual Operator on a specific day or observe averages across multiple months. We use the data to support our Lean processes and continuous improvements. Regional management analyzes operational and employee performance data to determine what projects and tasks should be addressed to eliminate waste and return value.

Geotab Pro Plus
Transdev is pleased to bring the highest level of Geotab technology available to the City fleet for advanced AVL and monitoring capabilities. Geotab is an industry leader in fleet telematics devices, with over 1.3 million devices in operation and 3 billion data points collected daily. This rugged device is highly reliable, cost-effective, and highly versatile. Geotab is much more than Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) technology. It offers advanced GPS technology, g-force monitoring, engine health, and battery charge levels. All Geotab reports offer real-time notifications, and Transdev uses the data to power our Lean initiatives and Q-Time reporting capabilities.

Page 441 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 28 Key Benefits and Features
Geotab’s GPS vehicle tracking and telematics start recording as soon as the vehicle is in motion, even if the vehicle is parked indoors or underground. Because of its speed, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness, we can use this device to do: See real-time vehicle positions with a five-second refresh rate; Support dispatch systems; Drive mobile applications and websites for passengers; Provide alerts on electric bus battery charge levels; Communicate diagnostic information; and Create custom reports.

Integration and Customization
Transdev is increasing our integrations between Geotab and Lytx DriveCam and has completed three successful integrations.
• Single Sign On: Operators can access the Lytx webs
ite
through Geotab – no need to
switch systems or remember
mu
ltiple passwords.
• L
ytx Video Browsing: In Geotab, screenshots or live video from th
e care may be viewed at any point during an
Oper
ator’s day.
• Automatic Drive Event Assignment: Lytx pulls the Operator to vehicle assignment from Geotab and aut
omatically assigns the Operator to any events created from that vehicle. This can save hours per day as an
employee would typically have to assign each event to an Operator manually.

WebRisk Safety Technology and Trend Analysis
Transdev uses a nationwide shared database called WebRisk, which includes all safety-sensitive employees nationwide, along with every type of license and permit with an expiration date, including commercial Operator’s license dates, DOT physical dates, dates for the Operator’s annual road evaluation, annual motor vehicle records checks, and more. WebRisk also allows all our locations to record all accident and injury data following prescribed procedures.

Embark Safety – Pu ll Notice Enrollment
Transdev uses Embark Safety to pull MVRs annually and monitor our Operators’ driving records. We also use Embark Safety’s continuous Operator monitoring software to provide automated alerts on violations, including speeding, suspensions, and DUIs. This ensures we always provide safe, qualified Operators for the City.

Power BI
Transdev uses Microsoft’s Power BI to analyze data captured through WebRisk. It creates actionable dashboards so each location can see its performance versus its peers. Power BI also provides a monthly report for managers to identify Operators who have repeated accident issues, monitor claims status, and identify and evaluate risks. Risk management software is a powerful tool for understanding system safety trends and employee progress. Power BI creates visual data analytics to share critical information about accidents and incidents, including location, time of day, day of week, employee identification, seniority of the employee, the root cause of the accident, the number of safety incidents the employee has been involved in, etc. Power BI dashboards help us identify trends and develop action plans to prevent future incidents. Through Power BI, we track our overall safety performance and drill down to capture detailed information regarding each accident or incident.

Every operating environment is unique, and we customize the PODP to meet our clients’ training requirements. We can add additional training modules, such as electric vehicles or child seat use.

Detailed Operator Classroom Training
Operators begin their training in a classroom setting with our TSI-certified Transdev trainer. This interactive setting allows Trainees to learn about the company and the City’s expectations, interact with fellow Trainees and Trainers in small groups, and get hands-on experience with various equipment and tools used in daily operations. Each Trainee receives their own workbook and training manual, doubling as a reference guide. Our classroom training is based on adult learning principles and includes:
• Introduction to the Vehicle – Trainees learn about the equipment they will be driving and receive an overview of the significant systems, including steering, electrical, air, brakes, power train, lift or ramp ,

Passenger Sensitivity Trai ning and ADA Compliance
Transdev meets all Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements. We train our Operators on the policies and procedures related to interacting with individuals with disabilities and accommodating service animals. We designed our Passenger Sensitivity Training to help Operators understand situations from the passenger’s point of view, determine how best to provide customer service to the passenger and recognize how their behavior impacts customers. Tenets we teach include: Passengers want to feel safe, valued, respected, and heard; Operators and staff must make the travel experience safe, respectful of passengers’ time, and pleasant and comfortable; Operators must understand that they are integral to customer satisfaction and how passengers perceive their trips; and Operators learn that passengers have diverse needs and concerns. The training teaches employees how their response can help or frustrate a passenger and improve or worsen a situation. We prepare our employees to assess the problem from a customer’s viewpoint and then reassure or help them to make the experience positive, even if it did not begin that way. Our ultimate goal is to meet our passengers’ needs.

Training on Transporting Medi cally Fragile Passengers
Transdev trains Operators to transport medically fragile passengers safely with care, patience, and extra assistance.

They learn to carefully help these passengers in and out of doors and to and from entrances to minimize tripping hazards, fall risks, and other injuries associated with bumping into doorways or hidden dangers. Operators also learn about risks that make passengers frail. We also teach Operators how to recognize and report elder abuse.

Detailed Road Training
The classroom work gives trainees the knowledge to become good Operators. To put this knowledge into practice, we provide hands-on training, including closed courses and BTW training.

Closed Course Training
We combine pre-driving and closed-course training with classroom training so that Trainees test what they learned from classroom materials and improve their skills on each type of vehicle in the fleet. Operators work on skills including backing, turning, and judgment stops. Our skills course training meets all federal requirements.

Page 445 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 32 Behind-The-Wheel (BTW) Training
After Trainees complete skill area maneuvers, we take them onto the streets to practice more complex maneuvers.

This one-on-one instruction includes training on roadways throughout the service area. We include additional behind- the-wheel instruction for night operations, covering typical detours we use during significant events. This training stresses managing unexpected events, including accidents, sudden road closures, and re-routings.

Cadetting In-Service Training
During the latter portion of training, Trainees drive actual service routes under the immediate supervision of a Trainer.

During this one-on-one training, Operators experience customers, maintain a schedule or follow a manifest, and collect fares with an experienced Operator on board to assist and evaluate. We evaluate Trainees’ knowledge of operational policies and procedures. To graduate from the program and be retained as a probationary employee, Trainees must: Demonstrate mastery in all operational policies, procedures, safe and defensive driving, and technical driving skills; Demonstrate a positive attitude regarding courtesy, customer relations, and sensitivity awareness; and Display professionalism through punctuality, class participation, and homework completion.

Ongoing Training and Evaluation
Operator training does not stop after graduation. We create a culture of support and accountability through regular monitoring, evaluations, and refresher training to help employees succeed and keep passengers safe.The Safety Department monitors DriveCam daily for triggers, including hard braking, distracted driving, following too closely, and rolling through stop signs. We coach Operators on how to change unsafe behaviors.

Training Documentation
Our Safety and Training staff properly document each employee’s training and note when the employee completes each module. Transdev uses the training log to record Trainee attendance, hours of instruction, and coursework completion. We present a training certificate to each successful Trainee and place a copy of the certificate into the employee’s record. All training documentation is compiled and maintained in Operator training files, which show the date completed, hours, and instructor initials on each page. The Trainee, Instructor, and Manager all sign off on the documentation to certify that each part of the training has been completed.

Trainees must demonstrate proficiency with each module. They receive review questions summarizing the coursework and take a test covering their knowledge of system rules and procedures. They are tested on: Transdev defensive driving techniques; Wheelchair boarding and securement; Paperwork and accident reporting; Pre- and post-trip inspections; Emergency procedures; General vehicle operations; Radio procedures; and Fare structure and fare collection.

The Trainer rides with the Trainee and evaluates their performance in every aspect of operations. The Trainee follows an Operator’s route to demonstrate their ability to drive safely and follow instructions. We record the Trainee’s final evaluation in the employee’s file.Transdev retains training records and other pertinent information in the employee’s file. We maintain the file throughout the employee’s employment with Transdev. File contents include assessments and evaluations, accidents, annual and mandated training, supplemental training, and certifications.

Ongoing Training and Evaluations

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 40 Weekly Lean Management Checklist Walks
On a weekly basis, our Maintenance Manager walks through the shop with a Lean Management checklist. This simple but powerful activity promotes continuous improvement. On their walks, the Maintenance Manager observes employees, discusses their tasks, and identifies opportunities for problem-solving and productivity gains. The Weekly Lean Management Walks allow managers to listen, observe, recognize, coach, and solve problems.

Preventive Maintenance (PM) Program
Every Transdev-maintained vehicle undergoes thorough PM inspections to be in top condition. Routine inspections and necessary repairs follow all OEM specifications, and we conduct PMs as follows:

The PM Process
Transdev encourages all employees who have contact with vehicles to be a part of our preventive maintenance process. Utility Workers and other workers with daily contact with vehicles check for potential maintenance needs. By finding issues during service inspections, Transdev ends last-minute repairs that can delay service.

PM Tasks
Our Technicians ensure all systems are in safe operating condition before a vehicle enters service. The PM process includes inspecting any necessary repairs to the following systems:
• Air Conditioning and Heating: The entire system undergoes detailed inspection and cleaning to ensure performance prior to peak air conditioning and heating seasons. • Brake Systems: Any defects or other safety-related system issues are corrected and tested prior to service. •
Tires : The PM process for tires includes tire mounting and dismounting, wheel inspection, wheel and ti re inst
allation, in-shop tire and wheel installation, and tire tread depth inspections. • Wheelchair Ramps and Lifts: Technicians lube the lifts and perform comprehensive inspections of the entir
e system, including the platform, sensors, barrier, securement devices, and controls. Technicians also pay attention to structural deficiencies and hydraulic leaks. Operators cycle all lifts and ramps daily before vehicles enter service.
• Fluid Replacement and Lubrication: We perform all lubrication, oil, and filter change intervals per OEM an
d the City and Transdev specifications. Additionally, we regularly check engine oil, transmission fluid, co
olant, and differential fluid levels.

Engine services, including engine oil filter change and comprehensive vehicle inspection
A - 3,000 miles
A-inspection plus transmission fluid changes and other checks B - 24,000 miles
A and B-inspections plus a comprehensive vehicle inspection of all systems, including wheelchair lifts, A/C system, and a fire risk assessment C - 48,000 miles

Page 454 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 41 • Communication Systems: Any vehicle with an inoperable communication unit, including radios and MDTs, is rem
oved from service immediately. We arrange for the repair of defective units under warranty by a man
ufacturer-approved shop to adhere to warranty requirements. Qualified vendors or employees repa ir items
no longer under the manufacturer’s warranty.

After the PM inspection is complete, Technicians receive assignments for any necessary follow-up repairs. Vehicles return to revenue service after a Technician completes all follow-up repairs and they are approved by a Supervisor or Manager.

Driver Vehicle Inspections and Reports
Daily vehicle inspections conducted by our Operators are critical to achieving and maintaining Transdev and the City’s standards of excellence. We emphasize the importance of the Operator’s role within the maintenance process during training. After Operators check-in, they perform a pre-trip inspection on their assigned vehicles using a Daily Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) form. The form consists of a checklist that covers key areas and items for inspection on the vehicle's interior and exterior. The DVIR also provides processes specific to each inspection point.

The Operator completes the DVIR form, which includes their name, vehicle number, date, odometer reading, and other relevant information. The Operator then records any deficiencies discovered during the inspection, including notes regarding what was heard or seen. The inspection checkpoints follow the order of the Operator’s progression around the vehicle, which reduces the potential for injury and increases efficiency. If a vehicle fails its pre-trip inspection, Maintenance staff quickly assess the vehicle prior to pull-out. Maintenance notifies Dispatch if the repair will take longer than a few minutes. If so, another pre-tripped bus goes into service.

Fueling and Cleaning
Fueling
Transdev fuels the vehicles daily and washes the vehicles weekly. The Operations and Maintenance teams coordinate a vehicle parking plan, so the morning Dispatch team knows the location of each vehicle.

Cleaning
The City takes pride in its professional image in the community, and we understand our role in protecting that image. Transdev represents the City brand in how our fleet appears, both inside and out. We also realize that the passengers’ impressions of the bus can lead to other assumptions about safety and performance. Our team ensures that those impressions are good ones.

Vehicle interiors will be cleaned out daily and washed weekly, and vehicle exteriors will be cleaned at least once a week, or more frequently as needed.

The Maintenance Manager or Supervisor randomly spot-check the vehicles daily, and all members of the management team regularly spot-checks the vehicles. Transdev inspects, monitors, and replaces, as necessary, original equipment supplied with the vehicles, including wheelchair securement items, fire extinguishers, reflectors, and first aid kits. During their pre-trip vehicle inspection, the Operator ensures all equipment is on board and in good working condition. Items such as fire extinguishers are examined and serviced at manufacturer-suggested intervals.

Major Component Repair
Our comprehensive PM program extends the useful life of each vehicle’s major components. We closely monitor performance indicators to identify component wear through oil sampling, gathering of fault codes, and testing for blow-by and oil consumption to determine when a unit needs a new engine or transmission. Transdev’s maintenance

Page 455 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 42 team rebuilds engines and transmissions as needed, and we also use qualified local vendors to rebuild engines and transmissions.

Road Calls and Accident Repair
Road Calls - In the event of an accident or incident while the vehicle is in service, the Maintenance Manager is notified of the location of the accident and the bus involved. The Manager or a Supervisor inspects the vehicle to determine the extent of the damage, and a decision is made to return the bus to service (if the damage is negligible) or remove the bus from service if there is extensive damage or a major repair is needed.

Accident Repair - Accident repairs are closely supervised and may be conducted by qualified local body shops. All bodywork and painting meet industry best standards and the City graphic standards, regardless of who performs the work. No vehicles are placed into service with noticeable body damage to the vehicle.

Inventory Control
Transdev meets our commitment to exceed your on-time performance and productivity standards by ensuring the fleet is safe and ready for service each day. Having the right parts for preventive maintenance and unscheduled repairs is critical. We use the Hexagon maintenance management system to monitor inventory levels and ensure the right parts are available to keep fleets moving. Transdev uses OEM parts or approved equivalents. We follow these principles to manage our parts inventory most efficiently: Proactive management of stocking, levels, Organized parts storage, and Data-driven decisions
Managing Inventory with Hexagon
Our Hexagon software allows us to manage parts inventory proactively. We enter every part into Hexagon with a preferred vendor, a backup vendor, alternative part numbers, reorder points, and restocking levels. All parts receive a label for the corresponding part and bin to ensure organization and accuracy in our parts room. Maintenance staff stores parts in bins and arranges the bins according to the code order in Hexagon.

Within Hexagon, we set minimum and maximum inventory levels and choose a preferred vendor. Several times a week, our Manager runs a requisition function in Hexagon for any part in the inventory that has fallen below the set minimum. Hexagon orders the parts from the preferred vendor to bring the inventory to the maximum level. As an added method of control, our shops perform physical inventory four times a year, along with outside auditing firms randomly certifying the physical counts. Maintenance staff also perform cycle counts every week, counting a percentage of our inventory to verify quantities.

Air Conditioning and Wheelcha ir Lift Parts and Materials Given the critical nature of both the air conditioning and wheelchair lifts, we keep the most commonly used parts in stock, which are readily available for use.

Page 456 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 43 Warranty Program
Transdev uses Hexagon to easily track warranties, recall campaigns, and related parts data through Hexagon. The process of a warranty claim in Hexagon is as follows:

Corporate Purchasing Agreements
Transdev reduces maintenance costs through our corporate buying power. We have built relationships with parts vendors and can buy quality parts at a lower cost. Transdev has Corporate Purchasing Agreements with a number of vendors that represent 120,000 unique parts. These relationships ensure we receive quality parts, the best service, and competitive pricing, which we pass on to our partners like the City. Our agreements with major parts suppliers include Ford, Chrysler, General Motors, Cummins, Bridgestone, Firestone, Goodyear, Michelin, AutoZone, and NAPA. The majority of the national vendors we use offer parts and services through their network of local dealers.

Transdev may also use other local vendors to provide parts and services.

Maintenan
ce Quality Control Process
Four Step QA Process
We monitor vehicle maintenance quality through a four-step process:

1. Scheduled PMI
Dur
ing the scheduled PMI, the Technician thoroughly inspects the vehicles and facilities for all defects, no matter how minor they may seem, and notes them on the PMI defect form. A Supervisor either assigns for repair or releases the vehicle (the Supervisor or Maintenance Manager are the only representatives authorized to release it).

2. V
ehicle Quality Assurance Audits
A
Maintenance Supervisor or the Maintenance Manager performs a series of QA audits, including: PMI Quality Assurance Inspections, Vehicle Readiness and Cleanliness Inspections, and Vehicle History Files and Records Audit Log.

The PMI Quality Assurance Inspection and Vehicle Readiness and Cleanliness Inspection sections contain 90 days of records. The Vehicle History Files and Records section contains 12 months of records. Records are filed in chronological order.

A Technician submits a
claim in Hexagon,
which cycles through
the OEM or parts
system.

The Warranty Center
generates the claim and
reviews the 110 and 160
claim statuses,
proceeds to either
“reimbursement” or
“denied,” and updates
the status in Hexagon.

Hexagon tracks the
reimbursement (if
applicable) and moves
the claim to a “closed”
status.

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 44 PMI Quality Assura nce Inspections
We perform PM quality assurance checks on at least 25% of all PM inspections. These inspections are essential for quality control and also help us train our Technicians to improve inspections. We take a team approach to inspections:
• First, the auditor (a Technician) checks for objective evidence that PM procedures are co mpleted following
all r
egulatory and contractual requirements.
• The S
upervisor visually inspects the vehicle and counsels the Technician on any items not identified during the original PM inspection.
• The M
aintenance Manager reviews each of these audit forms and makes changes as necessary to corr ect any not
ed deficiencies.
• The R
egional Director of Maintenance also reviews these forms during routine site visits.

Readiness and Cleanliness Quality Audit – Transdev has a comprehensive fleet cleaning program to keep the vehicles clean and ready for service. The Readiness and Cleanliness Quality Audits are internal audits that function as self-checks to ensure we adhere to the plan. We document these inspections using the Service Readiness and Cleanliness Inspection Form. The form uses a weighted system, assigning double the points to key areas. The scoring scale is:
• 0 – 75 Unsatisfactory
• 76 – 85 Needs Improvemen
t
• 86
– 95 Meets Expectations
• 96 –100 Excellence
We mandate that all locations perform these audits each week. When the Maintenance Manager receives the audits, they must make changes. The Maintenance Manager (or their designee) is the only person who can identify vehicles as ready for revenue service.

Vehicle History File and Maintenance Records Audit – We take compliance with regulatory agencies seriously and allocate appropriate resources to this process. Keeping these records ensures that we: Are held accountable to our established internal standards; Comply with our client's standards; Comply with all applicable regulatory agencies; and Track the individual vehicle’s performance and the performance of the vehicle type.

To ensure our record-keeping is the best, we perform periodic Vehicle History File, and We perform periodic Vehicle History File and Maintenance Record Audits to ensure our record-keeping is the best. Each month, we audit at least 5% of the fleet files. Our audits go back three months, and the Maintenance Manager oversees the audit results.

We inspect vehicle records and verify the following criteria: All required records (repair orders, DVIRs, and other audit records) are present; Each record and repair order accurately reflects the maintenance we performed; Paper files are accurately recorded and documented in Hexagon; All maintenance forms are completed properly; and Lubrication analysis program records are filed and documented properly, and lab results are maintained chronologically.

Page 458 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 45 Taking a closer look at the records helps us make modifications for the better, including examining our maintenance approach, adjusting our inventory levels, and anticipating major component failures before they occur.

3. Site V
isit Review
T
ransdev builds in Site Visit Reviews because nothing can replace having physical eyes on an operation. These period reviews help us improve efficiency, analyze trends, and implement new best management practices. When the Senior National Maintenance Director or National Director of Maintenance visits a maintenance operation, it triggers one of these reviews. The Maintenance Manager performs the review, which looks at several areas, including vehicle inspection, vehicle records inspection, and whether the local operation follows the QA audit process.

4. Annual Performance Review
Every st
ep of our Maintenance QA Program builds on the one before, and the last step is the Annual Performance Review. The Senior National Maintenance Director or National Director of Maintenance conducts the review, which covers 145 individual items. It examines the local operation’s self-audit program, particularly whether the team made the corrections called out in the Site Visit Review. We communicate this audit's results with our client’s executive management and Transdev’s Chief Operating Officer.

Hexagon and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Hexagon is a valuable quality assurance tool for Key Performance Indicator (KPI) reporting to ensure the City fleet is well-maintained and safe for your passengers. Our database allows for continuous trend analysis of target benchmarks for maintenance activities. KPIs analyzed through Hexagon include: Data validation checks at data input; Status reporting of work orders; Delays and reasons for delays; Tailored reporting and exception reports; Preventive maintenance and parts inventory; Technician productivity; Vendors for outside repair; Fuel and oil consumption and efficiency; Overhead costs; and Training records.

Measurement of Program Effectiveness
Hexagon also tracks KPIs to identify and analyze trends, including those listed on the following page:

Trend Measurement
Preventive Maintenance Compliance Percent of PM inspections performed on time Technician Overtime Percent of payroll paid for overtime Road Call Performance Miles between road calls
Scheduled/ Unscheduled Work Percent of work that is scheduled work (PM, PM follow-up) compared to unscheduled work (DVIRs, road calls)

Transdev is proud of our maintenance safety record, and we follow the procedures below to maintain safety in our maintenance operations:

Page 459 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 46 • Each Technician is responsible for working safely and avoiding unsafe situations that might occur. This includes reporting any concerns regarding safety or knowledge of hazardous conditions or acts. • T
ransdev requires all maintenance personnel to wear the proper PPE at all times and uniforms with built-in hi
gh-visibility bands.
• Mai
ntenance personnel keep work areas clean and free of clutter. Each shift performs general cleaning of their
work areas at the end of each scheduled shift.
• Whe
n operating any fleet vehicle, Technicians restrict the vehicle’s speed on all facilities and other off-street a
reas to the posted speed limits.
• All d
epot and garage traffic are designed to operate the vehicle in a drive-through direction to reduce or eliminate the need to reverse and to keep everything running smoothly. • Unauthorized personnel, including relatives, visitors, and passengers, are not permitted in the shop or veh
icle parking areas without prior approval of local management. All non-Transdev visitors to the garage must wear safety glasses and a high visibility vest and must be accompanied by a staff member at all times. • Improper use of maintenance equipment is prohibited. No maintenance employee is permitted to operate a veh
icle or equipment on which they are not licensed and/or certified. • All maintenance employees are trained in: Proper bending/lifting techniques; Right-to-know; Tag-out/lock- out; Blood-borne pathogens; Spill control and countermeasures; Material safety data sheets (MSDS); Fi re
sup
pression and emergency evacuation; Proper use of PPE; and Hazmat control and handling .

Quality Control
Service Monitoring
Transdev emphasizes comprehensive service monitoring and quality control to deliver an exceptional passenger experience. Local Managers and Supervisors oversee daily performance, address trends, and take immediate corrective action as needed. Supervisors also support Operators during incidents and ensure passengers’ needs are prioritized.

Quality Control Program
Our Quality Control (QC) Program integrates safety, operations, maintenance, training, customer satisfaction, and productivity. The Transdev Performance Team focuses on key areas of improvement, supported by advanced tools like Transdev Vision, Command Console, WebRisk, and Lytx DriveCam. Transdev’s QC Program identifies performance levels and trends, ensuring continuous improvement through actionable insights.

Recognizing on-time performance as a top priority for customers, Transdev addresses factors like traffic, vehicle breakdowns, and schedule accuracy. Supervisors and Dispatchers monitor adherence to schedules, provide training or support, and develop contingencies for delays. Managers identify and resolve performance challenges and implement solutions to improve reliability.

Monthly reports are a cornerstone of monitoring service quality. We provide detailed data on metrics such as on- time performance, passenger complaints, and maintenance. Reports are generated from automated systems, supplemented with manual entries when necessary, and shared with clients in their preferred format. These reports, along with trend analyses, guide corrective actions and ensure alignment with client goals.

Page 460 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 47 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) track performance trends and help Managers measure progress and implement improvements. Transdev’s Vision Dashboard aggregates data into actionable metrics, providing real-time transparency to both internal teams and clients. Monthly reviews ensure that issues are addressed promptly and corrective actions are effective.

Maintenance Reports
Transdev will use the Hexagon EAM system to generate maintenance reports for Baldwin Park Transit Service. The system helps us improve the quality of maintenance services, enhance reliability, increase productivity, and minimize downtime. Hexagon allows us to be as efficient as possible while maintaining a high standard for fleet repairs. It is described in detail in the Vehicle Maintenance Program section of the proposal.

Quality Control for On-Street Operations
Quality control of on-street operations is the responsibility of our Road Supervisors. Safe, reliable, timely Baldwin Park services are accomplished by effectively managing supervisory resources, including resource deployment and performance management. Road calls are a form of customer interruption that Transdev strives to reduce. There are several mitigation efforts to curtail road calls and service failures out in the field: We follow our preventive maintenance program to ensure we service vehicles correctly at scheduled intervals; We use pre-and post-trip and daily service line inspections to identify and correct issues as Operators start or end their day; and Lastly, we review vehicle health to resolve issues before they occur proactively.

Response to Road Calls
In the case of a deficient vehicle, we always attempt to act as quickly and safely as possible. A Road Supervisor is generally the first responder, and their mission is to manage the care and safety of the passengers. They are directed to go immediately to the scene of the breakdown. In the case of a deficient vehicle, we always attempt to act as quickly and safely as possible. In the event an unavoidable service interruption happens, our team performs the following tasks:
• When a road call occurs, the Operator will contact the Dispatcher, who immediately notifies ou r
Ma
intenance department of a failure. To quicken the response time, our Lead Technicians always have a port
able radio with them.
• The Maintenance Manager or Supervisor on duty will decide how to handle the situation. This eliminat es the pos
sibility of vehicle damage. The Maintenance Manager can send a Technician, request the Operator to drive the vehicle back or send a tow truck after the disabled vehicle. Transdev then updates the vehicle status
board with the road call information for that vehicle.
• The Technician will make the mechanical call on Baldwin Park equipment, and the Dispatcher will make the pas
senger call. Transdev directs a replacement bus to the location if the vehicle cannot continue. • To limit any inconvenience to the passengers, every effort is made to detour another bus to arrive at the loc
ation as quickly as possible. A Road Supervisor will be sent to any down bus to facilitate the safe transfer of pa
ssengers.
• When the vehicle is returned to our facility, the Maintenance Department checks and repairs the vehicle and completes the
road call report, which is turned into the Maintenance Manager.

During regular meetings between the Operations and Maintenance departments, information about road calls is discussed to implement a common action plan to eliminate repetitive road calls. Monthly employee meetings reinforce these procedures.

Page 461 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 48 Supervisor Tablets
Road Supervisors will be equipped with tablets to help them support Operators from within the service area. Road Supervisors will use the GoCanvas app to track and monitor Operator performance, access electronic road observation forms and information on their tablets and respond to in-service incidents as they happen. They will also use the tablets to view Operators’ Lytx DriveCam scores in the field. This will allow them to remain in the field supporting operations instead of back at the office completing paperwork.

Monthly Business Review (MBR)
The local management team will meet monthly to conduct a comprehensive financial and operational performance review, including KPIs. This formal analysis is in addition to daily KPI reviews. The monthly business review (MBR) aims to identify underperforming areas and create corrective action plans to address them. The formal MBR document will contain the following information or more as appropriate: KPIs variance analysis (monthly and year-to- date actual KPIs vs. goals); Feedback provided by the local team; and Action plans, including task description, owner, deadline, and status updates for ongoing actions. Transdev’s regional leaders will review the MBR report and ensure all issues are identified and the appropriate action plans are put in place.

Performance Team Contract Review
Our corporate Performance Team will meet with the local management team regularly to review our performance and ensure we meet or exceed Baldwin Park’s KPIs. They will help the local team identify additional improvements we can make to improve customer service, safety, and efficiency. Vice President of Performance Management Andrew Krueger oversees this team. They work to implement positive changes and improvements in specific contracts and throughout the entire organization. They also develop new tools and reporting dashboards to enhance operational performance.

Annual Audit
Senior Vice President Rich Rogers will perform an internal annual audit of our Baldwin Park Transit Service operation to identify any additional improvements we can make.

Marketing
Transdev’s corporate and regional team will work with the City on developing and designing the City’s website and printed materials regarding the transit services. Transdev has budgeted $10,000 annually for marketing as a not-to- exceed number. We are happy to discuss this with the City as you develop clarity on what is to be provided.

Technology
RideCo
Transdev will provide RideCo for Baldwin Park’s Dial-A-Ride and new microtransit service. RideCo is the leader in passenger-centric on-demand transit technology, with the most adopted cloud-based paratransit and microtransit solution among the 10 largest cities in the United States.

Additional information regarding RideCo, including a detailed implementation plan, have not been included due to page count limitations. This information is available upon request.

Passio
Transdev’s primary technology solution for the Baldwin Park fixed route system will be Passio. We have extensive experience using Passio technologies at various transit operations across the country and have a comprehensive understanding of its features and how to use the tools available in the system for maximum benefit. We have overviewed the major components of Passio in the following sections.

Vehicle Communications Systems
Passio’s routers quickly deploy and manage networks nationwide with the network management and application platform. The routers can help to improve productivity, reduce costs, and enhance the intelligence of the bus network and operations. The ability to manage devices across the organization is available through network management alerts and reporting.

Page 463 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 50 Passio Edge MDT
The Passio Mobile Data Terminal interface is designed to be safe and simple. Training is typically done in 10 minutes and provides the Operator with visibility into their routes, activities, and actions. The program is designed to work the way that the Operators work. The touch screen button actions are clear and straightforward, and the design is intuitive. The on-board hardware is one of the most crucial components for the successful implementation of the Passio Intelligent Technology Solution and provides Operators with the ability to send and receive messages, and to record information on incidents.

Automated Vehicle Locater (AVL) System
Passio GO
Transdev will use Passio GO for our Baldwin Park services. Passio GO provides real- time vehicle location tools for passengers and CAD/AVL management and reporting tools for system operators. Fully integrating the best visual tools, public viewers, and smartphone applications into the IncroMAXX platform provides the City with continued access to real-time updates for routes and stops while instantaneously evaluating the system’s performance from any computer, tablet, or cellphone. Transdev has extensive experience with the Passio system and ensures that our team maximizes the capabilities of this important tool.

Passio Navigator and Passio OpsView
Passio Navigator manages and controls dispatch, route and stop configuration, and reporting access. Dispatch and Messaging for CAD/AVL are managed from a single live map screen located within Passio Navigator™. The tool provides instant visibility into the status of all vehicles on route, current location, speed, stop, and service status. Our team can instantly reassign, adjust, or edit the vehicle status for operations and public viewing from a single screen.

Real-Time Passenger Information System
Passio GO Smartphone App
We will provide real-time passenger information through the Passio GO mobile app. This app is intuitive and user- friendly; no specific training is required for the end users. Once the application is downloaded to the smartphone, the application leads passengers to key features such as viewing specific routes, tracking buses in real-time, and identifying where they need to go simply by tapping on the home screen. For passengers wishing to take advantage of enhanced features such as “follow my bus” or destination planning, the application has straightforward embedded hints and guidance tools that make the app easy for everyone to use.

GPS data is updated in real-time, typically every second or less, on board the vehicle. Movement change in heading/direction and speed is reported in real-time and immediately uploaded via data connection to network servers for representation on public views, website maps, and smartphone applications.

Passenger Notifications: Al erts and Announcements
The system has two levels of communication within the application: 1) Alerts for immediate notification and highlighted viewing. Alerts scroll above the map and do not require any action by the user to view them. 2) Announcements for general information. Announcements are indicated by the red message button on the bottom right of the home screen. Users tap on the indicator to view the more detailed announcement information.

Additional information regarding Passio, including a detailed implementation plan, have not been included due to page count limitations. This information is available upon request.

Transition and Start-Up Plan
The keys to Transdev’s many successful transitions are a strong team, a robust plan, clear and uninterrupted lines of communication, accountability, flexibility, and extensive corporate resources. Our corporate and regional staff members have successfully managed the transition of many transit services and are well-versed in what is involved in a seamless, efficient start-up. To provide a smooth and effective transition, Transdev has developed a plan based on a service start date of January 1, 2026. This will provide time to acquire the DAR and Microtransit vehicles, set up the service technologies and hire and train operators and staff.

Performance Management Team
Transdev’s Performance Management team will work closely with local team to ensure the project is on track and on budget. Led by Vice President of Performance Management Andrew Krueger, the Performance Team will conduct quarterly reviews with the local team to identify methods to improve operations.

Transition Timeline
Please refer to the Appendix for a chart that details the transition tasks and timeline we have identified for Baldwin Park services. This detailed Gantt Chart timeline shows the activities to be performed, when they will be performed, and who will be responsible for completing them. This level of detail is essential for us as a management tool, and we are confident that it will give Baldwin Park the ability to effectively monitor our progress toward an on-time and effective start-up. Transdev will use the Power BI data analysis tool to track our overall performance and drill down to capture detailed information on all start-up activities.

Transition Communication
One of our first steps will be hosting “Meet Transdev” sessions to introduce our team, answer questions, and ease employee concerns about the transition. We will hold weekly meetings with the City of Baldwin Park and organize passenger outreach events. After contract award, Senior Vice President Rich Rogers and his team will meet with the City to finalize the transition plan and set a schedule for ongoing coordination. Key transition tasks include

Page 465 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 52 management placement, labor relations, recruitment, service software implementation, fleet inspection, training, and facility readiness. We will also conduct community outreach to educate the public about service changes and new technology. In addition to initial community outreach, we help our local teams plan events, such as stuff-a-bus food drives, and our local employees will represent Transdev in parades and fairs.

Transition Oversight
Our corporate and regional staff members have successfully managed the transition of many transit services and are well-versed in conducting a seamless, efficient start-up. So why is this important? Transitions proceed at a pace unlike any other period of a contract’s life. They require extensive coordination of diverse resources.

Transition of Employees
A transition's success or failure depends on having enough well-trained employees with a positive attitude ready for deployment. We will have our key management staff on-site as soon as possible following contract award. Regional and corporate functional teams will supplement them to help train and develop existing staff and establish systems to track service performance to maintain continuity in the short term and improve services as the contract progresses.

Hiring Incumbent Employees
Transdev aims to make employment attractive by offering competitive wages, benefits, and open communication. We will work closely with the current provider, offer flexible training, and host open houses for employee questions.

Based on past experience, we expect many incumbent staff to transition with the program to continue to serve the Baldwin Park community. Recruitment and onboarding will be supported by our regional and corporate HR and training teams.

Projecting Our Need – We began our efforts by building a staffing plan centered on our expectations and needs based on the service requirements and our historical experience.

Attracting Incumbent Contractor Employees – Transdev expects to fill a majority of open hourly and supervisory positions with qualified incumbent employees. We will establish a recruitment center to accommodate the application process for existing and new employees and schedule job fairs when Operators and other employees are available.

We will have staff on hand to accept applications, review submitted applications for completeness, and answer questions.

Attracting New Employees – Transdev has spent considerable effort developing a compensation and benefits package to attract and retain the right employees. Our methods for generating a quality pool of candidates include referrals from current employees, recommendations, veterans’ outreach, job fairs, and targeted outreach online and through social media.

Intake – Once an individual has submitted an employment application, Transdev will review the application for completeness and compliance. All employees must meet the qualifications required for safety-sensitive positions.

When an applicant meets the minimum criteria and is considered a good hiring choice, we will offer employment contingent on the applicant’s ability to pass a pre-employment drug screen and a DOT physical.

Tracking and Compliance – Transdev uses JobVite talent management and recruiting software to track applicant status through the screening process. JobVite tracks applicants, stores critical information, and monitors progress.

This tool helps us complete essential onboarding steps, automatically produces our EEOC reports, and ensures our compliance.

Page 466 of 520 ends

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 53 Operator Training – Transition training for Operators will run along two tracks: training for employees of the outgoing contractor who accept employment from Transdev and training for new employees. New hire employees will follow the training program outlined in the Training section of this proposal. Incumbent employees will receive recertification training on key aspects of the operation.

Transdev will work with the outgoing contractor to schedule training sessions. We will not require large numbers of employees to attend training simultaneously and, instead, will deliver training in small groups on different days at multiple times. Transdev will not hire any employee who fails to remain with the incumbent contractor until the transition date for the project.

Maintenance Training – New maintenance personnel without prior experience with the current fleet will receive Transdev’s full maintenance training curriculum. Maintenance employees who transfer to Transdev from the incumbent will receive company orientation and job-specific training (as needed) in the following areas: overview of the Transdev Maintenance Program, overview of Transdev Environmental Compliance and Sustainability Program, mandatory use of personal protective equipment, spill prevention, containment, and notification procedures, emergency procedures, Hexagon EAM Maintenance Software, and Transdev quality control, quality assurance, and audit procedures.

Office/Administrative/Support Staff – Transdev administrative and support personnel will receive job-specific training before the service transition and on an as-needed basis. Depending on the need or the topic, Transdev’s local or corporate staff members will provide the necessary training for these employees. If any of these employees transfer from the incumbent contractor, Transdev will assess their skills and job knowledge and arrange for appropriate training, which will be completed within six months of the service transition.

Transition of the Fleet
Transdev has proven vehicle inspection processes for transitions, including mutual fleet inspection. It includes records, visual, and turnover inspections.

Records Inspection - We will request the opportunity to review the vehicle servicing history and the fleet's repair before the next step of the process. It will be Transdev’s responsibility to review these records to determine if potential deficiencies have occurred or if there appears to be a pattern of failures that may need to be reviewed during the inspection process.

Visual Inspection - Transdev maintenance staff and their current contractor counterparts will inspect each City- provided vehicle. We suggest a meeting among all parties to review the Vehicle Acceptance Checklist to concur and avoid potential disagreements once the inspection process has begun. The Acceptance Checklist must reflect the current contractor's turnover standards and how Transdev will be expected to maintain the fleet. Transdev has developed a tablet-based electronic inspection process to facilitate the process. The tablet can be built on the agreed-upon inspection form by all parties. The tablet allows documentation of follow-up inspections and final acceptance. The fleet inspection will occur during the first 30 days of the transition period.

Turnover Inspection - Upon completion of the first inspection, both parties will sign that agreed-upon repairs have occurred. We will visually inspect the fleet on the evening of the turnover to ensure no new damage has occurred. All parties agree that the fleet’s condition is consistent with the RFP and that maintenance is now Transdev’s responsibility. Should additional repairs be required, Transdev will either reserve a maintenance bay for the current contractor to complete the repairs or perform the repairs and invoice the current contractor for our work.

Proposal to Provide Operation of Baldwin Park Transit Service 54 Post-Transition Follow-Up and Support
Transdev views the start-up period as being much longer than the time it takes to launch a new service. In our experience, start-up and transitional issues occur for several weeks, so we define the start-up period as encompassing the first 120 days of operation. Here is what Baldwin Park can expect from Transdev during this time:
• Program Manager Zack Deukmajian and all regional support staff involved in the start-up will be on-sit e dur
ing the first week of service delivery to provide immediate assistance to Baldwin Park staff as needed . • Dur
ing the first week of service (and more frequently if necessary), Zack will have at least daily contact with the C
ity to assess service performance and resolve questions or issues. • Senior Vice President Rich Rogers will be on-site as needed to assist in the transition.

Vehicle Plan
Transdev will provide a reliable, fully equipped fleet to support Baldwin Park’s Dial-A-Ride and new microtransit services. We will introduce four Ford Starlight vehicles, as shown in the photos below. Using the same vehicle type for both Dial-A-Ride and microtransit provides operational flexibility and consistent rider experience.

These vehicles have space for seven ambulatory passengers and two passengers with mobility devices. They include a Braun Century wheelchair lift, Q’Straint securement systems, wide entryways with grab rails, and ADA-compliant double wheelchair doors for safe and efficient boarding. The vehicles will deliver a safe, comfortable, and reliable ride while meeting the City’s operational needs and performance standards. We will also provide basic Diamond fareboxes for the new vehicles.

Transdev already has a 2017 Ford F250 shop truck in place to further support our Baldwin Park operation.
