Veolia Transportation is a contractor providing bus services in areas of the Valley. Currently, there are labor negotiations taking place between the contractor and members of the Almagamated Transit Union who represent operators of the buses.

We apologize for any inconvenience and suggest that you be prepared should a work stoppage occur on Valley Metro buses.  The bus operator will provide some level of service should a bus strike occur.
