To establish a mechanism to allow grantees to work together to purchase rolling stock, FTA created an online tool to support current and potential joint procurement participants. The Joint Procurement Clearinghouse was developed with input from the transit industry and is available to transit agency procurement staff through the TrIAD platform.
Transit procurement staff from throughout the country can use the site to post information about potential opportunities for joint procurement of rolling stock, including buses, railcars and ferries. The tool is useful to both large and small transit providers looking to pool purchases and create economies of scale.
The Clearinghouse includes fields for procurement officers to list information such as bus size, engine type, and other features. The tool includes filters and search fields to help users explore and find specific joint procurements to fit their agency’s needs.
