2026-2030 TDP RFP

As part of the regional transportation planning process, the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments (Metro COG), in coordination with Metro Area Transit (MATBUS), is seeking proposals from qualified consultant teams with expertise in developing a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) compliant, five-year Transit Development Plan (TDP). As the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area, Metro COG is responsible under federal law for maintaining a continuous, comprehensive, and coordinated transportation planning process. A component to this process is the development of the TDP which is intended to identify strategies and recommendations to improve transit service in the FM Area. It is essential that the TDP be updated to provide adequate guidance to make operational adjustments, address capital needs, note changes in fixed-route and paratransit operations, and reevaluate local, state, and federal funding level changes that have occurred over the subsequent five-year planning period. It is also necessary to provide adequate guidance in the development and execution of coordinated transit services in the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area.
