The Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) is seeking qualified design‑build (DB) entities to pre‑qualify for the Hemet Mobility Hub project, a turn‑key transit facility that will include passenger amenities, EV charging, bike‑share support, and “kiss‑and‑ride” zones. Qualified firms must hold an active California Class A or B contractor’s license, possess a California‑licensed professional design firm, and demonstrate experience on comparable $1 M+ transit or mobility‑hub projects.
