The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) in the USA is issuing Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified developers interested in providing design, implementation, financing, operations and maintenance, and management of a street-level stops and amenities system and associated revenue-generating assets in Massachusetts. The Bus Shelter System is intended to serve street-level stops to make the experience of transit users consistent and pleasant across the municipalities. 

The objective of the Bus Shelter system will improve and expand the existing street-level stop amenities across the region including, but not limited to, updating and expanding the network of shelters, seating, real-time travel information, as well as other amenities as appropriate. It is anticipated that the amenities provided will have the ability to generate significant revenue through advertising and telecommunications, which can be applied to financing the operations and maintenance and management services of the system.

The deadline to submit the qualifications is September 26,2019.
