From the meeting
DART reported that its new DART On Demand service was expanding and that staff were adjusting call-center staffing and adding new call center technology in late September 2026. The operating report also says DART and TPI Composites in Newton were working through enrollment, driver identification, and route development for Caravan, with service to begin once details are finalized. These are live implementation signals tied to current service rollout and partner coordination.

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 Des Moines Metropolitan Transit Authority issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Des Moines Metropolitan Transit Authority'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 Des Moines Metropolitan Transit Authority 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.
