Request for Proposals for Coordinated Public Transit - Human Services Transportation Plan

Dec 19, 2023

The Rapid City Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (RCMPO) is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to revise/update the Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan. The previously adopted 2019 Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan can be viewed or downloaded at https://mail.rapidcityareampo.org/application/files/2715/5804/4045/RAPID_CITY_CHSTP_Final_Report_03-28-2019.pdf The update will be prepared with the active involvement of, and consultation with, public, private, and non-profit transportation providers, transportation users, and stakeholders throughout the Rapid City Metropolitan Planning Area.

Federal transit law requires that projects selected for funding under the Enhanced Mobility for Individuals and Individuals with Disabilities (Section 5310) Program be “included in a locally developed, coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan.” The plan identifies transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with low incomes, provides strategies for meeting those local needs, prioritizes funding, and identifies strategies to improve coordination between transportation providers.
