NEW TRANSIT MARKETS FOR COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT

THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN UNPRECEDENTED PUBLIC SECTOR/PRIVATE SECTOR BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP AMONG PRIVATE BUS OPERATORS, VISITOR AND CONVENTION BUREAUS (C&VB) AND PUBLIC TRANSIT AGENCIES TO MEET THE GROWING TRANSPORTATION NEEDS OF THE MEETING MARKET (E.G., CONVENTIONS AND CORPORATE MEETINGS). THIS WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A FIXED-ROUTE SHUTTLE SERVICE BETWEEN HOTELS AND CONVENTION FACILITIES WHICH CAN BE AUGMENTED TO MEET THE PEAK AND OFF-PEAK DEMANDS OF CONVENTIONS. THIS WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY CONTRACTED TO PRIVATE BUS OPERATORS.
