Pre-RFPProfessional ServicesDetected Jun 4, 2026

The March and April 2026 OWP Monthly Reports note that PAG staff are facilitating discussions on strategies to better coordinate paratransit and human services transportation, including a proposed regional Transportation Referrals, Information, Providers and Support (TRIPS) Coordination Center in 2026 and a voucher program in 2027. PAG has also applied for specific mobility management projects under FTA Section 5310, one of which is the TRIPS Coordination Center. These initiatives are still in the planning and funding stage, but they signal an upcoming need to design, implement, and operate a centralized mobility management and information/referral platform, along with a voucher mechanism for specialized trips.Vendors offering call-center operations, mobility management software, one-call/one-click platforms, eligibility/voucher systems, and coordination consulting can position themselves to support PAG and local agencies as these concepts move toward procurement.

The coordinated plan update emphasizes accessibility for blind/low vision and deaf communities and potential partnerships with SAAVI, Catholic Community Services, and platforms like Aira, shaping functional requirements for TRIPS and the voucher program.

Contract Admin

The agenda includes a coordinator contract item for the Yellowstone County DUI Task Force. The document does not say whether this is a renewal, extension, or new agreement, but it is a named contract topic tied to task force operations. A vendor should watch for the specific scope, term, and whether the group is retaining or rebidding the coordinator role.

Public Updates

The agenda includes a summary of RFP projects from January-June 2026. The item appears to be a status review rather than a new solicitation, award, or contract action. It can still signal which service areas the task force has been sourcing and whether follow-on work may reappear later in the year.
