The public-facing system must provide real-time bus locations, schedules, service alerts, and links to related service information through a desktop website and mobile application. The website must support major web browsers, while the mobile application and alert system must allow users to subscribe to notifications for specific routes, stops, or trips. The system must be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with uptime exceeding 99.5%, offer dark and light modes, support user-configurable environments, and provide unlimited platform and CAD software licenses.

The vendor must submit a detailed maintenance plan with per-vehicle and system-wide costs, annual pricing, support procedures, emergency response capabilities, and a timeline for future software, hardware, and feature updates. Proposals must identify the manufacturer and model of the GPS tracking unit and antenna, provide examples of CAD map displays, and demonstrate support for multiple CAD users without data conflicts.
