Overview
Summary
Through this Request for Qualififaction (RFQ), SACOG is seeking a consultanteam to analyze and recommend strategies for developing a more robust public transportation and mobility system in the SACOG region, given changes in service demand, financial challenges, and advances in technology.
The contract for the Next Generation Transit Strategy will be an agreement between SACOG and the consultant, with funding and contract administration to be provided by SACOG. The consultant will invoice SACOG for services rendered and SACOG will compensate the consultant for these services as set forth in the agreement.
Based on the transit challenges that are specific and unique to our six-county region, we are seeking a consultant team that can help us articulate a vision for next generation transit and a road-map to help us get there.
