Imperial County Transportation Commission (ICTC) is seeking proposals from qualified and
experienced consulting firms to develop a Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA). The goal
of this project is to evaluate and enhance the efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability of ICTC’s
transit services. ICTC is looking for an experienced consultant/firm to assess its current operations,
identify areas for improvement, and develop recommendations for optimizing service delivery.
The selected consultant will be responsible for:
• Assessing Current Operations: Conduct a thorough analysis of our existing transit
operations to identify inefficiencies, gaps, and opportunities for improvement
• Developing Recommendations: Provide actionable recommendations to enhance service
delivery, maximize ridership with existing financial constraints and ensure long-term
sustainability. Recommendations may include adjustments/removal of exiting
routes/stops/trips and implementation of new routes/stops/trips.
• Community Engagement: Develop a comprehensive plan that includes innovative methods
for soliciting broad community input and addressing resident goals and objectives
• Future Planning: Evaluate future options such as electrification and consolidation, and
provide recommendations for service improvements spanning from immediate to longterm
(1 to 10 years)
• Feasibility of Passenger Rail: Assess the feasibility and potential implementation of adding
passenger rail services within the Imperial County. Assessment should include the
possibility of building new passenger rail corridor or perhaps utilizing existing Union
Pacific rail corridor.
• Feasibility of Signal Prioritization: Evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of
implementing signal prioritization to optimize transit operations, reduce travel times, and
enhance schedule adherence.
