The National Transit Institute (NTI) is seeking proposals from qualified professionals to facilitate its existing Transit-Oriented Development course.  In addition, NTI may periodically request proposers to edit/update the existing course materials.

NTI’s Transit-Oriented Development two-day course is defined as compact, mixed-use development near transit that creates sustainable communities where people of all ages and incomes have transportation and housing choices where people can walk, bike, and take transit. The goal of this course is to help transportation and land use professionals effectively participate in the planning, funding, and implementation of transit-oriented projects that improve the environment, create a sense of community, and boost transit ridership.  Course participants include transit agency planners and development specialists, State DOT planners and engineering, MPO staff, Federal employees (FTA, FHWA, FRA, HUD, DOL, DOE and others), city and county engineers and planners and consultants.

To obtain a copy of the complete Request for Proposal, send a written request on your organization letterhead to [email protected] or fax a copy of your request to 732-932-4390, to the attention of Gail Schmidt.  Requests will be honored if received no later than Friday, August 20, 2010 by 3pm EST. The complete Request for Proposal will be sent to bidders by email, on or about August 20, 2010.
