Specifications include, but are not limited to: First phase (addressed as Project A) is to consist of Architectural Design, Development, and Implementation of a new website running on a Content Management System. The vendor will be responsible for designing a new architecture to the website and working with Triangle Transit website committee to decide upon a design. Once the design has been approved, the vendor will need to build a website that meets the best practices of user experience requirements. The vendor will need to work closely with our current hosting company to implement, test, and troubleshoot functionality. The second phase of the project (addressed as Project B) would include the creation a stand-alone mobile application (to work on iOS, Blackberry and Android platforms). The mobile component would pull in stop level information (i.e. what stop is closest to the rider, what routes come near you, etc.), via geolocation, broader transit information (schedules, maps, detours and alerts, etc.) integrate regional realtime information, and translation services for the website. Visual development and content development will come from the Triangle Transit marketing team. The marketing team is open to collaboration to include best practices for usability and newer internet technology. The selected firm in collaboration with the Triangle Transit IT staff will handle technical development, testing, and implementation of both phases.
