Innovate Memphis seeks to retain the services of a consultant team to provide professional services for the development of a Transit Vision as part of the City's Memphis 3.0 Comprehensive Plan. The Transit Vision will provide a 20-year look ahead to the type of transit system that will be required to meet the City of Memphis and region's transit needs through 2040. The Transit Vision will address transit expansion needs for the short-term and long-term from 2020 through 2040. The Transit Vision will address many critical issues to Memphis:

• Review of the city's most important transit corridors that carry high ridership today, as well as potential new ridership markets that may emerge as growth in jobs and residents occurs
• Selection of transit modes such as bus rapid transit, light rail, or street car that would work best in those corridors
• Integration of transit capital facilities and services with walking and biking infrastructure, and using transit to make great places
• Enhancement of bus transit performance through roadway recommendations such as bus bulbs and traffic signal priority
• Coordination with other agencies and private providers to create a seamless, fully integrated, and user friendly network of mobility services.
• Review of a set of guiding principles and policies for improving transit
