SUMMARY


A Rhode Island government authority seeks a transit planning consultant to support service improvements and development of bus, rail, and ferry transit initiatives. Work includes planning and policy review, conceptual design, cost estimating, and phased implementation planning.

DESCRIPTION


A government authority in Rhode Island is seeking transit planning consultant services to support the enhancement of existing transit services, corridors, and transit hubs, as well as the development of new bus, rail, and ferry services. The selected consultant is expected to provide professional guidance across a range of transit planning and policy needs.

Scope of work includes plan and policy review, transit hub and corridor assessment, and transit-oriented development support. The consultant will also prepare conceptual design plans, including 3D renderings and mapping, for transit hubs and corridors, particularly high-capacity corridors, along with transit-supportive projects, track improvements, transit stations, first- and last-mile connections, and complete streets improvements.

Additional responsibilities include developing capital and operating cost estimates for alternatives associated with existing transit services, and preparing an implementation plan with schedule recommendations. The implementation approach should consider cost, funding options, and phased delivery of recommended service enhancements.
