ODOT is executing Supplement 1 to design contract CI‑2389 with Poe & Associates for an additional 2,440,903 in engineering services for I‑35 from the I‑40/I‑35 junction south to SE 89th Street in Oklahoma County. The project (JP 35123(04)) will add capacity and reconstruct/rehabilitate the existing interstate facility over about 6 miles. The construction phase is programmed in the 8‑Year Construction Work Plan with a scheduled letting in FFY 2031 and an estimated construction value of 7,000,000. While design is underway with Poe as incumbent, the long lead time and defined scope create planning opportunities for contractors, ITS providers, and traffic management vendors to position for future bidding, staging solutions, and construction support technologies on this high‑impact urban corridor.

Public Updates

The document is a MetroWest Regional Transit Authority (MWRTA) public schedule card announcing the Marlborough Commuter Shuttle timetable effective July 13, 2026. It details weekday-only service between the Southborough MBTA commuter rail station, key Marlborough employment sites (Apex Entertainment, 200 Forest St./Hilton, Campus Drive, Forest/Ames), and the MWRTA Blandin Hub, including guidance on transfers and holiday service. There is no mention of procurements, contracts, new funding, or planning studies; this appears to be an operational update to an existing route. While the schedule change may reflect internal planning or past contracting (vehicles, operators, mobile app), the document itself does not identify any active or pending purchasing decisions. Vendors might treat this as contextual information about service patterns rather than as a direct sales opportunity.

During the February 9, 2026 Planning Commission meeting, Mayor Noel Foster discussed a proposed residential planned unit development on Shepherd Drive and reported that the city engineer had evaluated traffic impacts. The analysis showed peak congestion at the Shepherd and Robin Street intersection in the morning and late afternoon, leading the Mayor to state that the city will need to consider widening Robin Street and White Hall Road in the future. While no specific design or construction contract has been authorized, the Mayor indicated that the city will explore funding options for these roadway widening projects. This points to future transportation engineering and construction work to increase capacity and manage congestion in the growing corridor. A productive next conversation would be around helping the city refine traffic modeling, corridor concepts, cost estimates, and grant or funding strategies in preparation for a formal capital project.

The need arises from traffic impacts associated with the approved Shepherd Drive residential planned...

Ben Franklin Transit (BFT) is preparing to adopt its 2026–2032 Transit Development Plan (TDP), which lays out multi‑year operational and capital initiatives across Benton and Franklin counties. The plan covers fleet replacement and expansion with a focus on zero‑emission vehicles, facility upgrades for maintenance and passenger amenities, technology modernization (CAD/AVL, passenger information, fare technology), and ongoing planning such as long‑range plan updates and corridor studies. The TDP is funded through FTA formula grants, WSDOT grants, and local sales tax, and is scheduled for Board adoption on July 9, 2026, making this a forward-looking capital program rather than a single project or RFP. While no specific procurements or vendors are named yet, the document signals that BFT will need vehicles, charging or fueling infrastructure, facility work, IT systems, consulting, and planning support through 2032. Vendors can engage early by aligning offerings to the zero‑emission transition, technology roadmap, regional connection priorities, and equity/accessibility goals articulated in the plan.

The TDP is developed per WSDOT guidelines and FTA requirements; federally funded items will appear a...
