For Massachusetts companies that want to improve employee access to the worksite while addressing parking and traffic issues, we provide transportation solutions that are reliable, safe and cost-effective. We do this by using our expertise to analyze existing needs and implementing the highest quality service feasible. The result is employees arrive to work on time and less stressed. Unlike larger transportation companies, we work with our clients through a planning and service preparation process that yields effective operational results.

TransAction created its Corporate Shuttle Division in 1995 to fill the need for reliable transportation using smaller vans and buses. Since then, the company has provided quality shuttle service to various companies, municipalities, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We are licensed through the Commonwealth’s Department of Telecommunications and Energy (DTE) to provide charter service in Massachusetts (License #48452) and by the U.S. Department of Transportation (License #1366324). In 2005, TransAction implemented its Executive Sedan Service for airport and other travel.

TransAction provides cost-effective, reliable transportation to client employees.  Our company has 21 years of experience in designing, implementing, and managing shuttle services. In addition to operating our own fleet of vehicles, TransAction has designed and managed the operation of shuttles for a number of municipalities including Framingham’s electric bus service, Westwood and Norwood’s commuter rail connector buses, the Northeast Shuttle for the City of Marlborough, the Town of Canton’s Railink shuttles, and most recently the Town of Acton's rail and Dial-a-Ride shuttles. TransAction not only provides reliable service, but has extensive experience in marketing transit options to increase participation, as well as developing schedules that coincide with arriving/departing subway systems or trains.

Listed below is a sampling of our current or past shuttle customers:

Staples Home Office (November 2010 -Ongoing)

TransAction was originally hired to provide transportation using a 25-passenger bus to an off-site during the planning phase for a new garage. The company then developed the plan for Staples to relocate approximately 400 associates to two off-site lots during the construction of a new garage and is providing transportation using two 33-passenger buses and two 15-passenger minibuses until the completion of the garage.

The MathWorks, Inc.

TransAction was hired in 2009 to assist MathWorks with the transportation of up to 850 employees during the construction of a new office building and garage.  In addition, TransAction assisted in the development of a comprehensive plan to establish carpools, promote transit, and coordinate a rotating on-site parking program.

Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance (2001–Ongoing)

TransAction was hired to establish an emergency transportation program for homeless families. This program continues to provide a dispatcher and 12-18 hours of shuttle service each day transporting families and their belongings to shelters and scattered sites using two 14-passenger vans. The dispatcher also coordinates transportation by public transit, other private carriers, or taxis when demand exceeds capacity.

University of Massachusetts Biologics Laboratory (2005–Ongoing)

TransAction operates a continuous-loop shuttle for 11.5-hours per day between facilities in Mattapan and Jamaica Plain using a 15-passenger Starcraft minibus. In addition, TransAction provides 14- to 33-passenger vehicles on various occasions to transport dignitaries and/or employees to and from special events.

Alewife Shuttle Service (2003–Ongoing)

Originally under contract with Genuity Solutions in 2003, TransAction provided peak-hour van service from its facility in Cambridge to the Alewife Red Line station. This service eventually expanded to include four other companies as a cost-savings measure. TransAction approached other large businesses in the area on behalf of Genuity, negotiated the terms of service, and developed a schedule that met all participants’ needs. This service has remained in effect for the consortium, which now uses a 15-passenger Van Terra minibus and consists of BBN, Adaptive Optics Associates, New Boston Management, Abt Associates, and West Cambridge Science Park.

Central Square and Harvard Square Shuttle Service (2003-Ongoing)

TransAction worked with the developers of the former Polaroid site on Memorial Drive in Cambridge in 2000 to design the traffic mitigation plan during the planning stages. After construction and occupancy in 2003, TransAction was hired by Alexandria Real Estate Equities to implement the plan, which includes an extensitve Commuter Options Program and a peak-hour and lunch time shuttle service using a 25-passenger bus for tenants between the site and the Central Square Red Line station.

City of Manchester, New Hampshire (August 2007-2010)

TransAction was hired by the Parking Division of the City of Manchester to operate a peak-period, 25-passenger shuttle service for the Seacoast Career Schools between a parking facility in downtown Manchester to the Millyard.  The service was ultimately taken over by the Manchester Transit Authority after receiving a CMAQ grant.

Teradyne Shuttle Service (2006–2008)

TransAction was hired to implement a shuttle system between Teradyne’s facility in North Reading and two transit stations during a transitional period when the company moved out of South Boston to North Reading. Using three 25- and 33-passenger buses, TransAction provided 30-minute headways between North Reading and South Station in Boston, while two 15-passenger minibuses provided 30-minute service to Wellington Station in Medford.
