From the meeting
1% of the proposed sales tax would fund Tempe transit and multimodal projects. It specifically named operating and maintaining bus, streetcar, Orbit, and light rail service; pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure; bus shelters; transit area improvements; and the Tempe Streetcar extension east of Mill Avenue to Tempe Marketplace and into Mesa along Rio Salado Parkway to Dobson Road and Main Street. It also named funding for the Town Lake Pedestrian Bridge west of McClintock Drive.
The measure was tied to the November 3, 2026 election and would start January 1, 2027 if approved.

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 City of Tempe's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
