Onboard Passenger Information System Pilot for Buses and Light Rail Vehicles

The government authority in St. Paul, MN needs a vendor to provide an onboard passenger information system pilot service featuring digital signage on approximately 20 buses and 12 light rail vehicles. The buyer seeks to demonstrate system capabilities, formulate a baseline for rider expectations, prioritize information needs, identify new business processes, and plan support resource needs for a full-scale implementation. Through this pilot, the buyer aims to improve digital delivery of dynamic data, provide a safe and welcoming rider experience, increase shareable data types, and deliver convenient, reliable, and environmentally sustainable service. Vendors will perform work offsite. To qualify, eligible vendors must be onshore USA organizations. The buyer is looking for proposals to establish the budget. Key project dates include a pre-bid meeting on September 28, 2026, and a deadline to submit all questions no later than October 8, 2026.
