Committee approves RFLI to explore on‑demand water mobility

The sponsor introduced OB1 to evaluate on‑demand water mobility as a tool to reduce roadway congestion on high‑impact weekends. Transportation Director Jose Gonzalez said staff had contacted multiple vendors and recommended issuing a request for letters of interest (RFLI) to collect vendor approaches and vessel types that would inform a subsequent solicitation (RFP or RFQ). He said the service could be implemented at no direct cost to the city and might include revenue‑share or private investment in infrastructure.
