MPO programs software purchase, transit asset and active-transportation updates in FY27 budget
Summary
The committee programmed funds in FY27 for data-management software ($40,000/year for a three-year license), a $75,000 transit asset management plan update, and an active-transportation plan update among other small task allocations.
As part of the FY27 UPWP presentation, S4 identified a proposed $40,000 annual cost for a new transportation data-management software with a three-year license and said the program is necessary before entering vendor agreements. S4 itemized smaller task allocations: $10,000 for general data administration, $10,000 for short-range planning, and $5,000 for MTP monitoring/model updates.
S4 also said the MPO programmed $75,000 to complete a transit asset management plan update and noted an active transportation plan update and a potential regional transit hub study requested by Metro. The presenter framed these expenditures as part of a strategy to improve project delivery, data capability and transit operations in the MPO area.
Committee members did not object to the software or transit-program items during the UPWP vote; procurement and scope of work details will be handled by MPO staff in forthcoming contract solicitations.
