 Sometime later in the fall of 2019, MV Transportation decided not to accept and sign the contract, so in November 2019, the MBTA awarded 50% to VTS and 50% to NEXT.As of January 2020, all three vendors (GLSS, VTS, NEXT) are still in operation, and GLSS paratransit operators have been notified of a preliminary layoff schedule.Late in 2019, NEXT and VTS started looking for satellite locations to accommodate the anticipated extra vehicles and personnel needed for the increased percentage of RIDE trips.
