Budget estimate

$200,000 – $2,000,000

No contract value is disclosed. Based on typical municipal transit operations contracts of similar scope, the annual budget could range from a few hundred thousand dollars for a modest service to several million dollars for a full‑scale citywide system. Assuming a multi‑year agreement (e.g., 3‑5 years), the total contract value might be roughly $600,000 to $5,000,000, depending on fleet size, service frequency, and ancillary management services.
