Private Transportation Services

The Capital District Transportation Authority in Albany, New York is seeking a vendor to provide private transportation services for school children. The agency requires safe, compliant, and timely transit to ensure pupils arrive at school no more than ten minutes before the daily session begins and depart no more than fifteen minutes after school closes. This service solves the agency's need for reliable student transportation that adheres strictly to academic schedules and safety standards. The scope of work covers daily student transportation operations using motor vehicles that comply with all applicable rules, regulations, and requirements. Every driver or operator must be of good moral character and possess the physical and mental fitness necessary to transport school children safely. Before any contract is executed, the agency requires the vendor to make all buses available for inspection by the Board and designated officials. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency will permit the performance of the administrative and operational work offsite, though the physical transportation must occur in the Albany, New York area. The agency is looking for budget proposals within the submitted bids, and specific evaluation criteria and key dates will be determined through the proposal review process.
