Procurement research for NYSDOT leads to successful award with ICF

NYSDOT solicited the help of Dr. Chow and the BUILT Lab at C2SMART in 2020 to conduct research in preparing first a Request for Information (RFI) and then an RFP. The goal of the RFP was to upgrade the current 511NYRideshare program into a next generation statewide program that would encompass more advanced technological capabilities and allow for emerging mobility options like micromobility, microtransit, carshare, mobility hubs, etc., making way for Mobility-as-a-Service.

Through the RFP process, NYSDOT successfully awarded a $29 million contract to global consulting and technology services provider ICF (NASDAQ: ICFI) to evolve this program. The press release for the award can be found on ICF’s page: https://www.icf.com/news/2023/02/new-york-state-awards-icf-29-million-transportation-contract.
