From the meeting
During new business, the commissioners said they support the microtransit system but need to find a way to fund it and seek outside funds because of a $17 million to $19 million county deficit. They said input would be gathered over the next few weeks before deciding how to move forward on funding. This is an open planning signal tied to transit operations and possible vendor or operator needs.

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