From the meeting
At its October 27, 2026 meeting, City Council received a MetroRapid update covering the Reading Rd. and Hamilton Ave. bus rapid transit (BRT) corridors.
The report said Reading Rd. is moving toward final construction plans, with construction anticipated to begin in spring 2027, while Hamilton Ave. design is still advancing for a late 2027 start.
The next visible steps are transit signal priority, station materials selection, a federal grant agreement, and construction prep.

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 City of Cincinnati issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Cincinnati'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 City of Cincinnati 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 sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more transportation government opportunities in Ohio?
