Among the
more than 130 national and international divisions operated by MV
Transportation, Grand Valley Transit (GVT) has been named 2014 “Best of the
Best” in the small division category.
From 2013 to
2014, GVT had a:
- 17 percent improvement in Total Accident Frequency
Rate
- 61 percent reduction in Preventable Accident
Frequency Rate
- 72.5 percent improvement in preventable claims
- 72 percent improvement in Injury Frequency Rate
“This award
is a great accomplishment for GVT but more importantly for our drivers and
staff,” said Todd Hollenbeck, Mesa County Regional Transportation Planning
Director. “Without their continuous
dedication, improvement and commitment to safety, we would not have the great
transit system that we have.”
