Greater Portland Transit District
Organization overview and procurement intelligence available on paid plans.
A public agency in Maine is seeking a vendor to supply microtransit software and related staff support under a five-year contract. The selected vendor must provide favorable pricing suitable for a small-to-mid-sized microtransit network, with capabilities ranging from roughly 3 to 20 on-demand vehicles and scalable expansion options.
Key requirements include a smooth transition from the existing platform to the new software, integration of trip planning for on-demand, fixed-route bus, and multimodal journeys, and an open API for connectivity with CAD/AVL and ITS products. The software must feature a user-friendly dispatching function and mobile applications accessible to operators and customers, preferably compatible with the Mobility app.
The vendor will collaborate with the agency to develop and refine mobile and web interfaces for passengers to request rides, using algorithms that maximize service area coverage, integrate with the fixed-route network, and optimize wait and travel times. All questions regarding the project must be submitted by April 22, 2026.
