Abstract:

This project focused on two main areas of analysis: (1) the extent to which federal policy barriers limit the use of innovative practices in federally-assisted procurements and (2) the influence of procurement practices on transit agency ability to adopt new technologies and advances in rolling stock. For the purposes of this project, creative or innovative procurements include a broad range of approaches that deviate in some way from the typical Request for Proposal (RFP) process. This report summarizes the current state of transit procurement, determines transit agency utilization of innovative practices, determines how (and to what degree) FTA procurement rules are impeding the adoption of newer vehicles and new technologies, and identifies other issues or barriers that may be present. Key topics within the research scope include several types of innovative procurement methods for rolling stock and other transit investments. Research highlights include procurement of electric vehicles, automation technologies, and intelligent transportation systems onboard technology. The analysis consisted of a literature review and six case studies.
