How to bid on the Citywide Transit Needs and Mobility Survey for the City of Homestead
What the City of Homestead is buying
The City of Homestead is looking for qualified firms to conduct a comprehensive Citywide Transit Needs and Mobility Survey. This study will help the City understand current transit use, mobility needs, and potential future transportation options for its residents.
The survey may cover various aspects, including the number of residents using public transportation, their travel purposes and routes, existing service gaps, accessibility issues, and challenges with first- and last-mile connections. It will also explore interest in alternative services like circulators, shuttles, microtransit, and on-demand options. The results will be used to develop recommendations for regional transportation partners.
