LYNX is seeking authorization to exercise the second option year of Contract 22‑C87 with Trapeze Software Group and approve additional software licenses and maintenance, increasing the contract not‑to‑exceed amount to $3,922,631. Trapeze has been LYNX’s core fixed‑route operations system since 2008, supporting scheduling, dispatch, communications, operations management, payroll, asset tracking, maintenance, and real‑time data; the latest modification adds licenses for vehicle maintenance personnel and transportation supervisors to improve attendance tracking, discipline management, and overall operational efficiency. The FY2026 operating budget includes $644,167 for maintenance and the capital budget includes $575,456 for new licenses, reflecting a funded expansion of the existing ecosystem.While Trapeze remains the incumbent and competitive replacement is unlikely in the near term, this indicates ongoing implementation and integration needs, making it a relevant lead for firms that provide Trapeze configuration, data integration, training, reporting, or complementary tools such as real‑time passenger information and workforce management analytics.

Contract modifications add FX, OPS, OPS-SIT, OPS Yard, OPS Web, and OPS‑MON licenses plus expanded maintenance; notice of Trapeze as a sole source is also referenced elsewhere in the packet.
