Fleet Telematics & Real-Time Passenger Tracking Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Transit Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority lacks documented telematics and dash-camera deployment while facing regulatory audits from drug & alcohol and FMCSA oversight bodies. New bus procurement funded by a $972,000 FTA vehicle award creates an immediate window to integrate real-time tracking and compliance tools across the fleet.
The opportunity
A proposed millage renewal generating $4.6M in its first year, combined with active FTA-funded procurement, aligns this project with current budget capacity and cooperative purchasing pathways that can accelerate acquisition. Acting within this procurement cycle reduces audit exposure and strengthens rider safety and service accountability.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority lacks a published agency-level Emergency Operations Plan and has limited, fragmented mass notification capability across platforms, leaving riders and staff underserved during incidents. Recent flooding declarations and the absence of documented HSEEP-style exercises elevate both operational and compliance risk under NIMS, SAFECOM, and FEMA EHP mandates.
The opportunity
Two active grant opportunities with near-term deadlines align directly with emergency preparedness and mass notification investments, with potential for limited local match. Consolidating a split notification ecosystem and formalizing the EOP now positions the authority to meet compliance mandates, reduce incident response risk, and steward available public safety funding before the current grant window closes.
Modernize Identity Access Management and Close Audit Gaps
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recent audit surfaced 33 policy-related findings, signaling systemic gaps in security controls and access governance. An active identity and access management replacement initiative underscores the urgency to modernize before additional compliance exposure accumulates.
The opportunity
Audit findings are scheduled for formal presentation in July 2026, creating a defined window to demonstrate remediation progress. ARPA funds available through end of 2026 offer a viable, time-limited budget pathway to advance this work within the current fiscal cycle.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority carries $260,000 in annual IT and software spend with active procurement underway, yet lacks a documented cybersecurity stack and has 33 outstanding audit findings tied to policy gaps. These deficiencies create measurable risk in endpoint visibility, access management, and regulatory compliance.
The opportunity
ARPA funds must be obligated by end of 2026, providing a time-bounded window to address IT infrastructure and compliance gaps with available federal dollars. A July 2026 audit presentation is likely to surface additional findings, making proactive remediation both fiscally and operationally urgent.

Discuss this project →Facility and Fleet Energy Consumption Optimization
Energy Management · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The authority has identified an active need to monitor and optimize energy consumption across its facilities and fleet operations, with procurement activity already underway. Without centralized energy management, operational costs remain difficult to control and reporting visibility is limited.
The opportunity
ARPA funds must be obligated by end of 2026, creating a near-term budget pathway for this investment. Acting within the current fiscal window enables the authority to reduce energy costs, improve operational efficiency, and demonstrate responsible stewardship of public funds.
