Comprehensive Public Transportation Training Program Development and Management

The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation is issuing a Request for Information under solicitation number RFI-129604 to identify qualified consultants or entities capable of developing, managing, and executing a comprehensive training program and communities of practice. This initiative is designed to enhance workforce skills and competencies for public transportation providers across urban and rural contexts within the Commonwealth of Virginia. The program aims to establish learning paths for career progression, program management, skill development, and federal compliance, utilizing a mix of in-person, virtual, and hybrid delivery methods to ensure accessibility for both technical and non-technical audiences. Key requirements for the potential program include the creation of lasting reference materials, the issuance of meaningful certifications, and the implementation of an online learning platform. As this is a sources-sought RFI for information-gathering purposes, it will not result in a direct contract but will inform a future Request for Proposal. Interested parties must submit their responses via the eVA platform by November 30, 2026, including an organization profile, proposed approach, high-level cost estimates, and a conceptual timeline. All inquiries and submissions are managed by procurement officer Melissa Myers.
