MassDOT RFI Roadway Safety Request for Ideas and Information

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking ideas and solutions related to roadway safety. The RFI covers three key areas: speed safety cameras, telematics-based solutions to address unsafe driving behaviors and roadway conditions, and non-digital tools and ideas. MassDOT is interested in receiving responses that analyze and demonstrate how telematics data can be used to address specific roadway safety-related questions, such as the geographic correlation between different types of poor driving behavior. Respondents are asked to select at least one of the provided civic research questions to answer, and they are encouraged to provide additional analysis and insights that may be of interest to MassDOT. The RFI is not a procurement document, and no contracts will be awarded based on the responses received. The purpose of the RFI is to assist MassDOT in understanding the current state of the marketplace and to inform the potential development of future solicitations related to roadway safety initiatives.

This RFI is open to all interested parties, including early-stage companies. MassDOT is unable to sign non-disclosure agreements. Respondents may also propose ideas related to road pricing, provided they can make a clear connection to roadway safety. The RFI does not obligate MassDOT to take any action, but they may request additional meetings to discuss ideas in more detail. MassDOT will not pay for the preparation of any information submitted, and respondents are not guaranteed any advantage in future solicitations.
