RFI for Equitable Transit Oriented Development Plan Services

The Cherriots transit authority in Salem, Oregon is seeking information to develop an equitable transit-oriented development plan. The agency is trying to encourage housing production, prevent the displacement of small businesses and residents, and prioritize compact, mixed-income housing development. The project aims to create safe opportunities for walking and biking while prioritizing housing with connectivity to existing frequent transit service and planned transit improvements. The scope of work covers planning and implementation actions for two primary components. These components consist of an Equitable Development Strategy and a transit-oriented development policy framework. The agency requires all performance of the work to occur offsite. Eligible respondents must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is accepting digital submissions of proposals via email or online. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish budget expectations, but the source document does not specify key dates or specific evaluation criteria.
