THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Replacement of existing transit service software and hardware with a new software-as-a-service platform from Spare Labs Inc. and consumer-grade Android tablets.
The new system uses Google Maps for mapping data, which will automate updates and reduce manual tasks. It also includes automated scheduling and ride shuffling capabilities. The current system is over 20 years old and lacks feature updates. The new system is expected to be cheaper on an ongoing basis and avoids expensive proprietary hardware.

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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Whatcom 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.
