Paratransit runs on trust built over years: with the agencies that assign your trips, the riders who depend on you, and the drivers who know each route by heart. That is not something a public listing protects.
TMA95 is a direct buyer of paratransit and accessible transport companies. We are not a broker. There is no public listing, no fee or commission owed by you, and your inquiry goes to a principal, not a call center. We sign an NDA before any financials change hands, and we do not contact your agencies, your riders, or your drivers during the process.
Demand-Response and ADA Accessible Transport
Paratransit covers a wide range of work: demand-response trips, ADA complementary paratransit tied to a fixed-route transit system, and accessible transport contracted through a regional agency or a broker network. Whatever mix you run, the underlying value comes from the same places.
Agency and broker contracts. Most paratransit revenue flows through transit agency contracts or broker-assigned trips. We want to understand how long you have held these relationships, how trips are assigned to you, and how the contracts have renewed over time. A steady renewal history says more about your company's value than last year's revenue alone.
Wheelchair-accessible fleet. Wheelchair vans and lift-equipped vehicles cost more to buy and maintain than standard vehicles. A newer, well-maintained accessible fleet adds real value. An aging fleet with deferred maintenance subtracts from it, so keep your maintenance records current and ready to share.
Drivers and dispatch. Paratransit depends on trained drivers who know how to assist riders safely, and a dispatch team that can route efficiently around pickup windows. This staff is hard to rebuild from scratch, and retention and turnover history matter to a buyer evaluating whether the business runs without you in the room.
Whether an agency or broker contract transfers to a new owner depends on the contract terms and state rules; we walk through what applies to your situation before any deal is structured.
Why Owners Sell Direct
A broker listing puts your company in front of anyone who signs up on a marketplace site, and that includes competitors bidding for the same agency work. Once a listing goes live, word tends to travel fast among drivers and dispatchers, and agencies can get nervous about a rumor before anything is signed.
A direct sale skips that risk. You sign an NDA, you talk to one buyer, and nothing moves until you decide it should. There is no fee or commission taken from your proceeds, because we are the buyer, not a middleman charging for the introduction.
What We Look For
Our buy-box for paratransit and accessible transport operations generally falls in this range:
- Annual revenue in the $5M-$25M range
- EBITDA in the $1M-$5M+ range
- Fleet size of roughly 50-150+ vehicles
- Agency or broker contracts with a real renewal history
- Fleet maintenance records that show consistent upkeep
If your company sits outside these numbers, reach out anyway. We review every inquiry on its own merits, and this range describes what we typically see, not a strict cutoff.
We also ask what you want out of a sale. Some owners want a clean exit. Some care most about what happens to their drivers, their dispatch team, and the company name. Some want to keep running the operation with more capital and back-office support behind them. Tell us which one fits, and we will build the conversation around it.
How the Sale Works
The process is straightforward:
- Confidential inquiry. Reach out with as much or as little detail as you want. No company name required to start.
- NDA first. We sign a mutual NDA before any financials or contract details change hands.
- Review and conversation. We review your agency contracts, fleet, and driver retention, and we ask what matters most to you.
- Straight answer, fast. Days, not months: once we have reviewed your financials, you get a straight answer fast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy small paratransit companies? Yes. Operations that a broker would pass on because the commission is too small are often a strong fit for us. If you are not sure your company qualifies, reach out. It costs nothing to ask.
Will my agency or broker contract transfer to a new owner? It depends on the contract terms and state rules. Some agreements allow assignment with notice, others require a new bid or agency approval. We walk through what applies to your specific contracts before any deal is structured.
What happens to my drivers and dispatch staff after the sale? Continuity for your team is part of the conversation from the first call, not something worked out after the fact. Tell us what matters to you and we plan around it.
How is my paratransit company valued? Valuation depends on your contract mix, renewal history, fleet condition, and driver retention, not just top-line revenue. For a straight answer specific to your business, request a confidential valuation.
