Fleet Video & Telematics Infrastructure Modernization
Fleet Management · Transit Safety
High Priority
About this project
Obsolete onboard video systems and gaps in fleet telematics create measurable safety and compliance risk for this transit agency, which has budgeted $298,600 for replacement. High vehicle insurance costs and Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan obligations further underscore the urgency of modernizing fleet monitoring infrastructure.
The opportunity
Over $2.2 million in allocated federal and state transit funding—including capital equipment and surveillance categories—creates a defined FY 2026 spending window for this procurement. Acting within this cycle ensures compliance continuity, reduces operational risk, and maximizes use of available grant-backed capital before the window closes.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan Modernization for Transit Safety
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current Emergency Operations Plan is over 12 years old with no replacement initiative underway, and documented technology failures during recent flooding events have exposed critical gaps in emergency response capability. Active compliance mandates and a dedicated emergency management technology budget signal organizational awareness, but the operational risk to riders, staff, and the public remains unaddressed.
The opportunity
A defined annual technology budget and an active strategic planning cycle create a timely window to close preparedness gaps before the next incident. Modernizing the EOP now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens public safety outcomes, and positions the agency to leverage eligible state and federal emergency management funding in the current fiscal cycle.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
SWART lacks a dedicated mass-notification platform, leaving staff and the public without reliable emergency communication. Documented technology failures during recent flooding events and an emergency operations plan that is over 12 years old compound this critical preparedness gap.
The opportunity
A dedicated emergency management budget is in place, and recent incidents create urgency for a near-term procurement decision. Addressing this greenfield gap now improves public safety outcomes, supports compliance with emergency preparedness mandates, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital properties have identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, creating legal and equity risk for residents who rely on accessible services. A mandated compliance deadline of 2028 requires structured remediation, and partial infrastructure already in place indicates an expansion or gap-fill need rather than a full rebuild.
The opportunity
The 2028 WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate provides a defined regulatory forcing function, reducing the burden of building an internal business case. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows for phased remediation, aligns with existing software investments, and supports equitable public access ahead of enforcement risk.
IT Infrastructure Modernization & Strategic Technology Planning
IT Modernization · Transit Operations
High Priority
About this project
SWART has proposed $212,000 for IT upgrades—including servers, AI tools, and satellite connectivity—as the agency transitions to urbanized transit status under new regional governance. A comprehensive Strategic Technology Plan is in development and expected by end of FY 2026, making current decisions critical to long-term operational alignment.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 technology plan completion creates a defined window to shape procurement priorities before recommendations are finalized. Substantial federal and state transit funding is already in place, and acting ahead of plan adoption positions the agency to align investments with compliance requirements and regional service expansion goals.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Protection and Credential Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The agency currently lacks a defined endpoint management solution and a credential/password management tool, leaving critical systems exposed to unauthorized access and cyber threats. As the agency expands into an urbanized transit role with broader regional operations, these unaddressed gaps increase risk to operational continuity and public trust.
The opportunity
A strategic technology planning process and $106,275 in annual IT and software spend create a timely opening to address these cybersecurity gaps within the current fiscal cycle. Closing these vulnerabilities now reduces operational risk, supports compliance with evolving cybersecurity mandates, and positions the agency for secure, scalable growth.
