Price County to host radio‑system study; stakeholders from schools to hospitals invited

Price County Traffic Safety Committee · September 9, 2026

Summary

County officials said TUSA Consulting will visit the week of the 28th to gather stakeholders and evaluate whether a shared radio system for agencies and schools is feasible; findings are expected by year end with potential RFP and build steps to follow.

A county representative told the committee that a radio‑system study by TUSA Consulting will begin the week of the 28th. The study team will meet stakeholders — including school transportation, police departments, the sheriff's office, highway department, fire, EMS and the hospital — to inventory current radio use and explore whether one shared system with separate channels could meet local needs.

The presenter said stakeholders should discuss what works, what doesn't and whether a shared system could reduce duplicate costs for agencies that otherwise deploy separate million‑dollar radio systems. The consultant aims to complete research and contacts by the end of December; if the county board supports the findings, an RFP could follow taking three to six months, and a potential system build could target a 2028 go‑live date.
