Who We Are - Veolia Transportation

Before Veolia Transportation in North America, established in September 2005, the company had a rich history in the combined experiences of Connex North America and ATC.

ATC managed and operated public transportation services since 1935 and is a heavyweight in the US transportation industry. The privately owed company prided itself on its relationships within the community they served and it is this commitment that enabled ATC to grow to become one of the largest public transportation carriers in the US. In fact, some contracts have been in place for more than 50 years, evidencing a long-standing commitment to customer satisfaction. ATC grew in the fixed transit and paratransit industry, securing key contracts in 18 states. The company diversified into brokerage management, to successfully manage more paratransit brokerages than any other transportation management firm.
ATC was acquired by Connex North America from National Express in September 2005, with a strong commitment to growth and develop the company. ATC’s name may have changed, but its strong operational practices and commitment to the local community continue through Veolia Transportation.

Behind Veolia Transportation lies the strength and support of one of the world’s largest transportation providers. Known as Connex until 2005, the company first began operating buses in France over 150 years ago. Since then, the company has grown to operate a network of road, rail and maritime passenger services in 27 different countries, employing over 61,000 people from different backgrounds.

Being the largest is easy. Being the best takes more work. When our companies joined together to create Veolia Transportation, we combined more than 150 years of worldwide experience through Connex Transportation, one of the world leaders in operation and management of public transportation systems, and over 70 years of stable and focused USA experience from ATC.
Together we strengthen ATC’s already established commitment to customer service, driver training, safety and maintenance. Add Connex’s aim to bring to public authorities innovative solutions to their transportation problems, thanks to our experience developed around the world, and to our network of experts who travel the world to share and spread best practices, and we believe that as well as being the largest, we also stand out from the rest.

Whatever the size of the contract, we start with the basics. Motivate and empower our employees. Get the maintenance right. Get the performance right. And then we move on to more complex issues, like scheduling, marketing and transport integration. Transport is the only thing we do for a living, and we like to do it right.

If this sounds like the right fit for you, we'd like to hear from you!
