Impaired Driving Reduction Ride Share Project

The City of Madison, Wisconsin, is soliciting proposals for the Impaired Driving Reduction Ride Share Project aimed at reducing incidents of driving under the influence through enhanced access to safe transportation alternatives. The solicitation, numbered 15015-0-2026-BP, was posted on July 13, 2026, with responses due by 2:00 PM on August 19, 2026. This effort is part of a broader public safety initiative led by the state-level agency under SLED classification, focusing on community-based solutions to curb alcohol-impaired driving. Proposals must detail strategies for deploying ride share services during high-risk hours and locations, with emphasis on collaboration with local law enforcement, bars, event venues, and transportation providers to ensure broad coverage and accessibility. The project will operate within Wisconsin and must demonstrate measurable outcomes, including reduced DUI arrests, increased ride share usage, and public awareness impact. The point of contact for this solicitation is Brian Pittelli, reachable via email at bpittelli@cityofmadison.com or by phone at 608-267-4969. All submissions must be made through the official vendor portal linked in the solicitation details. While no specific NAICS code or set-aside classification is indicated, applicants are expected to have experience in transportation logistics, public safety programs, or ride share operations within municipal or state contexts. The contract seeks innovative, scalable models that can be sustained beyond the initial project period, with a focus on data collection, evaluation metrics, and community engagement to ensure long-term effectiveness in reducing impaired driving incidents across the city.
