UAlbany RFI Transit Services

The State University of New York, University at Albany, has issued Request for Information 2139471 to gather market research from qualified transit service providers. This RFI is intended solely for informational and planning purposes to help the university evaluate service models, operational approaches, and vendor capabilities for future campus transit procurements. It is not a formal solicitation, and no contract award or procurement commitment will result directly from the responses. The university is specifically seeking data on integrated fixed-route and on-demand systems, fleet management, zero-emission vehicle sustainability, and technology platforms such as real-time tracking and rider-facing mobile applications. The anticipated future service term is expected to run from July 1, 2027, through June 30, 2032. The operational scope includes fixed-route services for approximately 32 weeks of the academic year, on-demand services for 20 weeks during break periods, and supplemental support for special events like Commencement and athletic games. Interested vendors are asked to provide information regarding their experience with higher education clients, ADA compliance, safety management programs, and typical pricing structures. Responses must be submitted via email to Colin Fadden by 2:30 pm EST on October 22, 2026.
