AI Contract Overview
The Southern California Association of Governments is soliciting proposals for the SPM Transportation Modernization for Emerging Futures project under solicitation number 26-053. This initiative aims to enhance the Scenario Planning Model program, which integrates transportation modeling with land use and policy evaluation to forecast travel demand and assess the impacts of growth and investment scenarios. The project is designed to address modern uncertainties in travel behavior, including post-pandemic telecommuting trends, the rise of electric vehicles, California's zero-emission vehicle mandates, and shifting population and employment dynamics through 2050. These updates will ensure regional strategies remain aligned with federal and state performance-based planning requirements and greenhouse gas reduction targets. The contract is structured as a lump sum agreement with milestone payments, with an estimated project value ranging between 130,000 and 150,000 dollars. The performance period for the project is 15 months. Proposals must be submitted via PlanetBids by the deadline of April 15, 2026. The solicitation was officially posted on March 25, 2026, and is managed by the Contracts Department of the Southern California Association of Governments in California.

Full Description
Within this framework, the Scenario Planning Model (SPM) program supports SCAG’s ability to conduct scenario-based analysis and inform decision-making.1 SPM integrates transportation modeling with land use and policy evaluation, providing a platform for planners to develop and compare alternative growth and investment scenarios. Through interactive tools and performance metrics, SPM helps evaluate outcomes related to travel behavior, including vehicle miles traveled (VMT), sustainability, economy, and health, while contributing to the development of SCAG’s long-range regional plan.
Travel demand modeling faces growing uncertainties driven by several factors. Post-pandemic trends, including widespread telecommuting and evolving commute patterns, have altered trip frequency, timing, and distance, while emerging technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs) and other innovations introduce additional complexity in forecasting mode choice and vehicle operating costs. Additionally, California’s zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandates and large-scale charging infrastructure investments will reshape fleet composition and travel behavior, creating new uncertainties in route choice, trip timing, and long-distance travel patterns. These dynamics, combined with shifts toward localized travel and changes in peak-period behavior, create significant challenges for accurately predicting future travel demand. The slow decline of population and static employment growth forecasted through the year 2050 for the SCAG region presents additional uncertainties in analyzing future travel behaviors.
