DESCRIPTION

The organization seeks a vendor to provide a cloud-based, next generation Transit Signal Priority (TSP) solution designed to ingest and process real-time vehicle location data, generating priority requests for transmission to jurisdictional traffic signal control systems. The solution must support a scalable, interoperable, and secure TSP platform that delivers measurable improvements in bus travel times and service reliability across the region.

The project encompasses the provision of all software, cloud-hosted services, and supporting infrastructure required for the TSP subsystem to receive location data, produce priority requests, and enable robust monitoring and reporting functions. The proposed solution should be data-driven, asset-light, and optimized for multi-jurisdictional deployments with capacity for future system expansion.

Integration must occur through approved mechanisms, including API calls or other ATMS-supported protocols. The scope also covers the development, hosting, and integration of the TSP software and associated applications with existing Transit and Traffic Signal Subsystems. All vendor questions are required to be submitted by May 20, 2026, and a pre-proposal conference is scheduled for May 6, 2026. The contract will span one year.
