Fleet Telematics & Onboard Video Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Transit Safety & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority currently lacks documented onboard video and telematics systems, creating significant liability exposure and limiting evidence collection in demand-response operations. Federal transit funding compliance (Section 5311) and a recent service-contract termination are compounding operational and procurement pressure.
The opportunity
A nearly $5.88 million increase in grant-funded capital expenditures and a $65 million state infrastructure funding opportunity provide strong near-term budget alignment for this investment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance, reduces liability risk, and can leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles to accelerate procurement.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
This transit authority lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has no formal mass-notification platform, relying on social media and phone calls for incident alerts. These gaps represent a significant preparedness and compliance risk, leaving staff, riders, and the public without reliable, coordinated emergency communications.
The opportunity
Named federal grant programs—including HSGP, BRIC, and JAG—offer viable funding paths for emergency management improvements, and hazard mitigation planning efforts already underway signal organizational readiness to act. Addressing these gaps now aligns with the current grant cycle, reduces operational and compliance exposure, and strengthens public safety outcomes for the communities this authority serves.
Mass Notification Platform Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority currently lacks a formal mass-notification platform, relying on social media and phone trees to reach staff and riders during emergencies. This gap creates significant risk to service continuity, rider safety, and preparedness compliance under federal transit funding obligations.
The opportunity
Federal emergency preparedness grant programs, including HSGP and BRIC, are applicable funding sources that can offset modernization costs with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant cycle strengthens compliance posture, closes a documented preparedness gap, and improves reliable communication at scale.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
ADA Compliance · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The authority faces identified ADA/WCAG compliance gaps across public-facing digital properties, creating legal and operational exposure. A broader digital services initiative—driven by on-demand booking and compliance publishing needs—underscores the urgency of addressing accessibility alongside web modernization.
The opportunity
ADA/WCAG mandates create non-discretionary urgency, and active digital services planning signals budget alignment for near-term action. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal risk, improves equitable public access, and positions the authority to consolidate modernization efforts within the current fiscal cycle.
IT Modernization and Endpoint Security Planning
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A $500,000 ERP study signals active IT infrastructure modernization, surfacing downstream gaps in endpoint management and identity security. Without addressing these vulnerabilities, the organization faces elevated operational and cybersecurity risk during a period of active system transition.
The opportunity
JAG grant eligibility for computer technology and a favorable operating budget create a near-term funding pathway to act within the current or upcoming fiscal cycle. Advancing endpoint and credential security now reduces risk exposure and aligns IT investments with broader modernization goals.
