Company Overview
MV Transportation, Inc. and all subsidiaries, joint ventures, partnerships and affiliates, (or “MV”) is a privately held corporation that provides passenger transportation management, operations, and related services to jurisdictional and private entities around the world. ..
Company History
Founded in 1975, MV Transportation, Inc. was incorporated in the state of California in 1978 as California MediVan. In the years following, the company’s founders, Feysan Lodde and Alex Lodde made the strategic decision to grow the company beyond the bay area. In 1990, the company's name was changed to MV Transportation, Inc., to reflect the diversity of the services now offered.
Shortly thereafter, the passenger transportation industry experienced a growing number of mergers and acquisitions; leaving MV facing the then-Goliaths of public transit: international publicly-held corporations with significant market share, but increasing debt.
Unwilling to sell, the Loddes knew this was the time to grow and achieve their American dream. They recruited a number of top-line industry professionals who – under their guidance – developed and expanded the company. Nearly two decades later, MV is now the largest American-owned, privately-held transportation firm, and holds the longest tenure of consistent ownership of any of its competitors.
