From the meeting
At its August 5, 2026 meeting, Yakima Transit said it hopes to receive three new buses after a grant submission. Staff said that if the grant is awarded, delivery would take 18 to 24 months because of manufacturing timelines. This is an active funding and fleet-replacement signal, with the next decision point being the grant award.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Yakima Transit issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Yakima Transit's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Yakima Transit before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account unlocks this pre-RFP's source document, forecasted RFP timing, and verified Yakima Transit decision-maker contacts.
