To: All Interested Vendors

Re: Advanced Traffic Management Systems

This is a Request for Information. The State of Minnesota’s Department of Transportation (MnDOT) requests information regarding Traffic Signal Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMSs). The State of Minnesota invites all interested parties to submit a written response to this Request for Information (RFI).

This RFI is being released strictly for the purpose of gaining information about ATMSs, with an interest in product specifications and shaping the State’s requirements for a new system. This information may be used to assist in drafting a future Request for Proposal. Participation may include an opportunity for an up to two-hour meeting and to provide written suggestions for the specifications. This RFI should not be construed as an intent, commitment, or promise to acquire services, supplies, or solutions offered. No contract will result from any response to this RFI.

Your insights are valuable in shaping the requirements for a new ATMS. At a high level, MnDOT anticipates the following requirements for a new system:

1. Capable of interfacing with all existing traffic signal controller hardware--approximately 1,400 signals statewide in total.
2. MnDOT will not accept a solution that requires the state to change away from existing controller hardware.

Information submitted in response to this RFI will become property of the State of Minnesota. The State of Minnesota will not pay for any information herein requested, nor is it liable for any cost incurred by the vendor in preparing a response to this RFI.

RFI responses must be received on or before 3:00 PM CT May 1, 2026, at the following address:
