Tucson Transportation & Mobility is dedicated to enhancing the safety, equity, and efficiency of the city’s multimodal transportation network through strategic infrastructure investment and design innovation. Its core mission centers on modernizing roadways, bridges, and pedestrian-cyclist corridors to support sustainable mobility and community connectivity. Key initiatives include highway and bridge construction, traffic signal modernization, and the development of bicycle boulevards and greenways, often in coordination with federal highway safety programs such as FHWA’s HSIP. The agency prioritizes projects that address systemic safety gaps, improve accessibility for vulnerable users, and integrate resilient design principles into public infrastructure.
The agency frequently procures construction services for highway, street, and bridge infrastructure, alongside architectural and engineering design services to support project planning and implementation. It also acquires specialized communications equipment for traffic control systems and contracts for construction administration to ensure quality assurance during project execution. Procurements are typically issued as competitive solicitations under standard federal and local contracting frameworks, with no set-asides currently in use.
Primary procurement activity targets NAICS 237310 (highway and bridge construction), 541310 (architectural services), and 334290 (communications equipment manufacturing), reflecting a focus on physical infrastructure, design expertise, and intelligent transportation systems. Vendor relationships are driven by technical capability in civil engineering, traffic signal integration, and public works construction, with no preference indicated for small, minority, or disadvantaged business set-asides.
Tucson Transportation & Mobility operates as a division of the City of Tucson, serving the entire municipal jurisdiction with responsibility for transportation planning, capital project delivery, and mobility infrastructure maintenance. It utilizes standard public procurement vehicles including design-build, construction management at-risk, and professional services contracts to deliver complex transportation initiatives.
