From the meeting
CATA reported discussions with Centre County Transportation about taking over some Medical Assistance Transportation Program (MATP) trips that start and end inside CATA's service area. The County was reviewing trip data, and both sides were exploring a reverse-contracting model where CATA would operate trips and be paid while the County kept backend administration. The memo said this could cut CATA Ride costs by an estimated 10% to 28%, but the arrangement still needed data analysis and agreement updates.
This is a concrete follow-on opportunity around paratransit service capacity and regional contracting.

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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Centre Area Transportation Authority's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
