UPCOMING -- RFP for Regional Safety Operations Program Development and Capacity Building

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission is soliciting consultant support under RFP-29258 to enhance the operational capacity of the Bay Area Incident Management Task Force, a collaborative initiative with the California Highway Patrol, Caltrans, and regional partners aimed at improving transportation safety, mobility, and incident response across the Bay Area. The consultant will be tasked with strengthening organizational systems, refining performance management practices, fostering leadership development, and deepening stakeholder engagement to reduce administrative burdens and build sustainable infrastructure that enables MTC staff to focus on strategic priorities. This effort is designed to create a scalable, long-term framework that supports consistent, region-wide coordination and operational excellence in managing transportation incidents. The request for proposal was posted on August 3, 2026, with a submission deadline of January 1, 2027, and is open to qualified firms seeking to support public sector efficiency and collaboration. The contract will be managed by MTC in California, with primary point of contact Jerry Finer available at jfiner@bayaremetro.gov for inquiries. While the place of performance is state-wide, the work will center on advancing regional systems and partnerships that align with broader transportation goals, ensuring that incident management remains adaptive, data-informed, and integrated across jurisdictions.
