Transportation company Transdev Inc. notified the state Department of Labor this month that it plans to lay off 34 employees based in Bridgeport.
The layoffs will be effective on Dec. 31, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notice dated Oct. 20.
The France-based company provides an array of transportation services, such as bus, medical and shuttle rides.
Sheila Talley, regional director human resources, indicated in the notice that the layoffs are necessary because the company’s client, Greater Bridgeport Transit Access, has canceled its contract.
“All Transdev routes currently operating in the Bridgeport area will be permanently shut down,” the notice states.
All of the impacted workers are based at 1 Cross St., Bridgeport. They have various positions, such as dispatchers, paratransit operators and reservationists.
The terminations are expected to be permanent, according to the notice.
