Orange County (“County”) seeks proposals from qualified transit professionals to assist with program management for its Federal and New York State (“State”) funded transit programs, including regulatory oversight of transit operators and vehicles.
The County provides transit coordination services and administers Federal and State transit funding programs. This work is accomplished through the County’s Department of Planning. The County is a direct recipient of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding which it uses to support the operational and capital needs of over a dozen transit operators, including the purchase of transit vehicles that the County leases to the operators. The County also administers State Transit Operating Assistance program which provides assistance to the operators in the County. The County also, from time to time, receives other State transit capital grants in support of the transit operations in the County. The consultant awarded a contract (“Contract”) pursuant to this RFP process (“Consultant”) will assist the County in managing these programs, visiting operators, helping to ensure that all Federal and State transit program requirements are met, and other related transit tasks as they arise.
