Goodyear signs 7-year contract with New York City Transit

Akron, Ohio -- Goodyear has signed a seven-year contract to continue supplying tyres and business solutions to New York City Transit, the largest transit bus fleet in the US.

Akron-based Goodyear, which has provided tires to the agency since 1987, will continue to supply its fleet of more than 5900 vehicles with a range of bus tires and tyre services.

“This is an important contract for Goodyear, retaining the largest transit bus fleet in North America,” said Joseph Copeland, vice president of commercial tyre systems for Goodyear. “Moreover, it is a tremendous vote of confidence in our products and the service provided by our Goodyear associates in the depots every day.”

The New York City Transit is an agency of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of the state of New York.
