Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) in Florida has received 18 responses for its Request for Information (RFI) for the Ultimate Urban Circulator Program (U2C).

The purpose of the RFI was to obtain input from industry partners regarding program implementation for all components of the U2C Program including civil works, vehicles, supervisory system, operations and maintenance and security and cybersecurity. JTA is also seeking input regarding procurement considerations, including procurement strategy, form of contract, Transit Oriented Development (TOD) interest, and opportunities for public-private partnerships (PPP). Information from the responses may be used to better define the path forward including the scope of work, technical requirements, and procurement strategy for inclusion in an RFP to be issued by the JTA.

JTA is also holding the Industry Forum to discuss the Ultimate Urban Circulator Program before the official Request for Proposals. The Forum will take place on 18-20 of February.
