Charlottesville Area Transit (CAT) is soliciting proposals under RFP 27-17 for a fully hosted, cloud-based Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) to enhance its public transportation services for the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County.

Key technical requirements include GTFS/GTFS-Realtime integration, ADA compliance for public-facing platforms and announcements, and the ability to store three days of data during connectivity losses. The system must integrate with existing AngelTrax surveillance cameras and public address systems, which are designated to remain in place. Evaluation is based on the technical approach, qualifications and experience, the implementation plan, and total proposed price. As the project is partially funded by the Federal Transit Administration, the contractor must adhere to mandatory FTA clauses, including Build America, Buy America (BABA) requirements and strict nondiscrimination standards. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by November 9, 2026.
