VTA is seeking proposals from qualified firms to develop real-time data services for the "Wheels on the Bus" project, which aims to provide occupancy information for front-mounted bicycle racks and internal priority seating areas on buses. The goal is to enable transit riders with bicycles or mobility devices to make informed decisions about boarding, thereby reducing denied boardings and improving customer experience. The project is a planning and prototyping effort, intended to evaluate various products, technologies, and operational considerations without implementing a systemwide solution. Funded by the US Department of Transportation through the SMART Grant Program, the initiative requires a comprehensive report on the prototyping process, challenges, and findings to be submitted by September 15, 2024, with project completion expected by March 15, 2025. The solicitation, titled "Wheels on the Bus - Real Time Data," was posted on January 22, 2024, with a response deadline of February 16, 2024. The project falls under NAICS code 423450 and is managed by VTA Professional Services in California. Interested proposers can contact Kelly Tran via email or phone for further information. The project emphasizes assessing multiple technological options without favoring any specific product, aiming to explore the feasibility and challenges of providing real-time occupancy data to enhance transit accessibility and operational responsiveness.

General work description:ABOUT RFP S23205: VTA seeks proposals (each, a “Proposal”) from qualified firms (each, a “Proposer”) to provide wheels on the bus - real time data services (“Services”). The Wheels on the Bus – Real Time Data Project explores whether occupancy information for front-mounted bicycle racks on buses and occupancy information for internal priority seating areas can be provided in real-time to riders.  If that information can be provided, transit riders who travel with bicycles or by use of wheelchairs or mobility devices may be able to make informed decisions about whether or when to use transit and avoid being denied boarding because there is no space for their wheels on the bus. A secondary goal is to use time and location-stamped occupancy data to assist VTA in reducing denied boardings and responding to customer concerns in real-time. The project is a planning/prototyping effort and would not implement any systemwide solutions.  Rather, it would explore the technological, operational, logistical, policy and cost challenges of implementing a systemwide solution. VTA seeks a consultant that can assess several different products and technologies. Proposers should not submit a proposal that has already identified one preferred product or technology. The project is funded by the US Department of Transportation (US DOT) through the SMART Grant Program, which has short deadlines for project deliverables.  A report documenting the prototyping experience and all issues, challenges or considerations that arose during the project must be submitted to US DOT by September 15, 2024.  The project must be closed out by March 15, 2025.
