Planning, Design, and Policy Development Services for Transit Operations and Transit Facilities

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) is soliciting technical proposals to provide a wide range of transit operations, planning, engineering, and policy development support services for their transit capital and operating projects. It is the expectation of the County to enter into contracts with experienced and qualified firms to provide a wide range of these services.

Public transportation is seen as a key component of MCDOT’s strategy for providing multimodal transportation solutions to the residents, businesses, and visitors of Montgomery County. MCDOT is advancing this vision with Flash, the County’s planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network. More information can be found at Flash Bus Rapid Transit System Project - Home - Montgomery County, MD . FLASH corridors are currently in operations, planning, design, or construction stages in support of the Montgomery County Transit Corridors Functional Master Plan, which identifies over 100 miles of FLASH service. In addition to these FLASH corridor projects, MCDOT’s transit work also includes changes to regular Ride On fixed-route service, services such as Ride On Extra and Flex, enhancements to the associated Information Technology (IT) systems and other capital infrastructure, such as Transit Centers and Operations and Maintenance Facilities. This solicitation seeks to identify firms to provide the necessary services to help MCDOT advance the Flash BRT program as well as transit more broadly.
