In 2009, Ride On introduced a new logo and blue-yellow-green paint scheme with the delivery of new Gillig Low Floor clean diesel and hybrid buses.

In the autumn of 2011, Ride On's 12 new 40-foot Gillig low-floor hybrid buses (5349-5360) and one clean diesel bus (5758) went into service. All 13 of these buses were purchased with funds from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. 7 additional 40' Gillig Low Floor hybrid buses (5361-5367), which were also purchased with stimulus funds from the ARRA, went into service in mid-2012.

In July 2012, Ride On retired all 62 of its 2007 Champion cutaway buses due to fires and replaced them with 30 1998 30-foot Orion V buses. All 30 of these units were from WMATA.
