The Rhode Island Public Transportation Authority (RIPTA) seeks a qualified vendor to provide paratransit eligibility assessment services and transportation coordination for its RIde program, including “RIde Anywhere” extended‑area trips. The contractor must manage applicant transportation to assessment sites, interface with RIPTA’s scheduling system (potentially via custom API integration), and comply with ADA‑related regulations (49 CFR Part 37 Subpart F). Proposals are limited to 20 pages, with a bid deadline of August 24 2026. • Provide transportation coordination and, if granted, direct access to RIPTA’s scheduling portal or daily manifest submission. • Ensure all paratransit applicants meet ADA eligibility criteria and integrate data with RIPTA’s third‑party scheduling software and MTM‑Reveal data warehouse. • Submit a concise 20‑page technical proposal, including cost estimates for a base year plus up to four optional renewal years.
