From the meeting
Staff briefed RTAC on federal surface transportation reauthorization. The current authorization, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), expired on September 30, 2026, and Congress had passed a continuing resolution through December 11, 2026. The memo said future legislation would shape funding levels, program eligibility, and policy priorities for transportation projects.
The item was informational and focused on monitoring federal action.

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.
