The Seminole County Board of County Commissioners (“BCC”) seeks to improve its public transit services County-wide, excluding the rural boundary, through the addition of micro-transit services to replace portions of the current underutilized fixed-route bus services, while also providing connectivity to the LYNX fixed-route bus service and SunRail. The BCC seeks an all-inclusive service from a single provider to include the necessary technology, labor, and vehicles for complete operations management. It is intended that this service will provide a better quality of service to the residents of the County with on-demand micro-transit as a new public transportation option that is: • Convenient, safe, and reliable transit operation for all citizens of Seminole County and especially for marginalized community members experiencing barriers to opportunity; • Economical and efficient to operate and maintain; • Provided with optimal performance, comfort, and safety; • A replacement for fixed-route transit network routes and stops with low ridership; • A system that identifies and fill gaps to broaden the reach of the fixed-route transit network; • Capable of adapting and expanding to the changing transportation needs of our county through ongoing advertising and marketing that is inclusive community engagement; • Enhancing of perceptions and support for public transportation in our community; • Fully compliant with all applicable rules, regulations, standards, local, state and federal laws and regulations.
