RFI User Data Information per HB430

The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) under House Bill 430 to gather market research on Transit Trip Data collection and analysis methodologies. This non-solicitation procurement seeks information from vendors capable of providing advanced geospatial data tracking and transportation system modeling solutions. The primary objective is to develop a comprehensive data collection approach for biennial tax revenue reporting across 77 municipalities, focusing on detailed rider travel patterns and residential tax district insights. Specific deliverables include capabilities for generating geospatial overlays, ensuring data precision, integrating with existing data warehouse systems, and meeting privacy and security standards. Key submission requirements include electronic responses through the Bonfire portal, with all questions to be submitted by July 10, 2025, and complete responses due by July 28, 2025. Evaluation criteria will likely emphasize vendors' technological capabilities, data integration potential, privacy protection mechanisms, and ability to generate actionable insights for strategic service planning.

While the RFI does not specify explicit set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, it appears targeted at technology firms specializing in transportation data analytics, geospatial tracking, and cell phone data integration. The procurement does not represent a guaranteed contract award but serves as a comprehensive market research initiative to understand potential solution approaches. No specific budget range or award value was explicitly stated in the documentation. The RFI encourages vendors to provide general cost estimates and discuss scalable, adaptable solutions that can address legislative reporting requirements. Vendors will need to demonstrate sophisticated data collection technologies, robust integration capabilities, and comprehensive approaches to analyzing transit rider travel behaviors while maintaining strict data privacy and security protocols. The ultimate goal is to develop a flexible, sophisticated data collection and analysis solution that can provide UTA with nuanced insights into transit ridership across multiple municipal jurisdictions.
