Request for Discussion

SRTA #26-000

Connected Vehicle Solutions and Technologies

Requested by

State Road and Tollway Authority

November 18th, 2025

Written Response Due: December 3rd, 2025

Request for Discussion (RFD)

Connected Vehicle Solutions and Technologies

1. Purpose and Need

Page 1 of 6

The State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA) is seeking to engage in informative discussions regarding

Connected Vehicle (CV) or V2X solutions and technologies that have the potential to enhance the overall

customer experience along the Northwest Corridor Express Lanes (I-75/I-575) in the Atlanta metropolitan

area. These solution-focused discussions are intended to explore innovative, technology-driven ideas that

can improve mobility, increase roadway safety, and/or deliver real-time information concerning roadway

and traffic conditions to all travelers – including motorists, freight and transit operators, emergency

responders, and more.

Potential solutions will be required to operate independent of the existing SRTA back-office systems and

the Authority is currently not interested in potential CV applications related to tolling.

The insights gained from these engagements may inform and shape future SRTA initiatives.

Interested vendors are expected to adhere strictly to the response procedures outlined in this document

when submitting their response.

2. Background

SRTA, in partnership with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), operates and maintains

Georgia’s Express Lane network. SRTA is responsible for the tolling roadside O&M, setting toll rates,

monitoring and collecting tolls, and managing the Peach Pass Customer Service Center. GDOT is

responsible for Traffic Management Center and the roadway O&M of each Express Lane facility. The SRTA

and GDOT operations staff work closely together to ensure the express lanes operate seamlessly for the

motorists.

SRTA currently operates four Express Lane facilities in metro Atlanta: I-85 Express Lanes, I-85 Extension

Express Lanes, I-75 South Metro Express Lanes (reversible facility), and the Northwest Corridor Express

Lanes (reversible facility). These lanes are optional toll lanes that run alongside existing interstates in some

of the most congested corridors in the region. The facilities provide a choice for motorists and transit

riders who want a more reliable travel option during peak periods. Each lane is congestion-priced to

maintain reliable travel times during the peak periods.

The Northwest Corridor Express Lanes consist of a reversible, barrier-separated toll lane system that runs

29.7 miles along the I-75 corridor from Akers Mill Road to Hickory Grove Road and along I-575 from I-75

to Sixes Road. There are several entry and exit points along the corridor. Weekdays, the Express Lanes

generally operate southbound towards Atlanta in the AM and northbound in the PM.

Northwest Corridor Express Lanes are registered lanes – motorists are required to have a valid toll account

to drive on the Express Lanes. Trucks with more than six wheels or two axles are not permitted in the

Express Lanes. More information can be found at https://peachpass.com/travel-the-express-

lanes/northwest-corridor/. Below is a map of the Northwest Corridor Express Lanes.

3. Project Goals

Page 3 of 6

SRTA is seeking to broaden its understanding of available CV solutions and technologies currently offered

by industry vendors. SRTA is particularly interested in exploring innovative approaches that can deliver

meaningful benefits to both the agency and the users of its transportation infrastructure.

Key areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Enhanced Mobility – Solutions that facilitate smoother and more efficient travel across the

Express Lane with applications and use-cases supporting multiple modes and users.

2. Congestion Reduction – Technologies aimed at eliminating traffic queues, minimizing

bottlenecks, and improving overall traffic flow – including peak hour conditions.

3. Improved Safety – Systems that contribute to reduced primary and secondary incidents resulting

in safer travel conditions for all road users.

4. Real-time Information Delivery – Tools that provide timely, relevant, and accurate data to

support informed decision-making and increased contextual awareness for the traveling public.

Vendors are encouraged to present additional capabilities or applications beyond those listed above

where solutions will provide Express Lane customers with benefits. Vendors should demonstrate the user

interface or user experience (UX/UI) for their solution (e.g. mobile app).

All proposed solutions should align with SRTA’s strategic goals of enhancing transportation efficiency,

safety, and customer experience.

4. Process to Participate

Step 1: Review the RFD

Review the Request for Discussion (RFD) document in its entirety. Identify technical solution(s) that

address one or more of the key areas of interest of the Authority and will provide meaningful benefits to

the transportation network.

Step 2: Provide Written Response

Vendors will be required to provide a brief written response with the requested information. Each vendor

will submit an electronic copy one-page Portable Document Format (PDF) response formatted with single

line spacing, 12-point standard font. The RFD responses are not scored; all submissions will be reviewed

and those that align with SRTA’s interests will be invited to participate in a one-on-one virtual

discussion.

Additional attachments to responses are prohibited. All responses are due by (2:00 PM, EST) on

Wednesday, 12/3/25. Late responses will not be accepted or reviewed.

Send all written responses via e-mail to procurement@srta.ga.gov - Subject line of email: RFD for

Connected Vehicle [vendor name].

Step 3: Set-up On-Line Meeting for Vendors

Invited vendors will be notified by e-mail by close of business Wednesday, December 10th if SRTA is

interested in participating in further conversations related to the proposed solution. E-mails to vendors

will provide the necessary information for a virtual meeting (i.e., Microsoft Teams). Each meeting will be

limited to one (1) hour and will be organized in the following format:

1. Introduction (5 minutes)

2. Vendor Solution (40 minutes)

a. Company Background (5 minutes)

b. SRTA questions (35 minutes)

i. Where has your solution been deployed and for how long?

ii. What iteration are you on?

iii. How could this benefit Express Lane users?

iv. How does your solution interact with road users?

v. Does your solution require any physical infrastructure, if so what components?

vi. Describe your system architecture and concept of operations.

vii. What is your business model as well as expected deployment, operational, and

maintenance costs of your solution?

3. Questions and Answers (15 minutes)

Meetings may include SRTA staff representing various divisions of the agency including Engineering and

Operations as well as representatives from GDOT.

The intent of the meeting is for the vendor to educate and inform SRTA and GDOT staff of potential CV

solutions and technologies for consideration for future deployment.

Information, ideas, and concepts presented by each vendor during these meetings may be incorporated

into an Executive presentation with a recommendation for next steps; therefore, vendors should refrain

from providing information, ideas, and concepts considered to be proprietary, confidential, or trade

secrets.
