The Halifax Regional Municipality issued Request for Information HRM-2026-0406 to gather market research for a Microtransit Service Proof of Concept, specifically targeting the Lucasville community. The goal is to evaluate service delivery options for areas not currently served by conventional transit, including turnkey solutions, technology platforms for booking and dispatch, and various vehicle options ranging from vans to mid-size buses. The municipality is exploring in-house, vendor-operated, or hybrid models, with a focus on sustainability, safety, and accessibility standards defined by Accessibility Standards Canada. Key performance indicators for the eventual proof of concept include maintaining a trip denial rate under 25 percent, a same-time reservation wait time under 60 minutes, and more than two boardings per vehicle hour. Technology solutions must support GTFS and integrate with systems such as Trapeze FX, On-Route, Pass, and SAP. The response deadline was extended via Addendum 02 to September 23, 2026. As this is an RFI, it is intended for information gathering and does not constitute a legally binding contract or a formal solicitation for award.
