RFI for Equitable Transit Oriented Development Plan Services

The Cherriots transit authority in Salem, Oregon is seeking equitable transit-oriented development plan services to guide its future growth. The agency is trying to solve the dual challenges of encouraging housing production while preventing and mitigating the displacement of small businesses and residents. To address these issues, the project requires planning and implementation actions for an Equitable Development Strategy and a transit-oriented development policy framework. The scope of work covers prioritizing compact, mixed-income housing development with strong connectivity to existing frequent transit service and planned transit improvements. The agency also requires the plan to create safe opportunities for walking and biking within the transit corridors. Performance of all requested work will take place offsite. Eligibility for this opportunity is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is looking for proposals to establish the budget for these services. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or through the online portal.
