4. MBTA is adopting an Innovation Proposal Policy, mirroring the policy framework already in place in Denver, LA, and Dallas

5. The policy is meant to encourage proposals that:
The Innovation Proposal Policy is aimed at increasing the number of inbound ideas from the transit industry, augmenting the MBTA’s internal process
The policy is meant to encourage proposals that:
Offer direct or anticipated benefits to the MBTA, its passengers and the community
Can be reasonably accommodated in the MBTA’s annual capital and operating budgets
Have potential to significantly reduce MBTA operating and/or capital expenses
Suggest a new, innovative service that the MBTA could provide
Be independently originated and developed by the proposer
Contain sufficient details regarding the benefits for the MBTA’s mission and responsibilities for initial due diligence

6. MBTA plans to run competitive, public process for proposals
All proposals presented would trigger a public review and an evaluation based on potential benefits to the MBTA and its riders
MBTA plans to run competitive, public process for proposals
Publicize receipt of proposal by posting online and advertising when appropriate
Adequately describe nature of proposal
Publicize interest in acquiring the services or property in the proposal
Provide adequate opportunity to compete for business and contract based on best proposal offered to the MBTA
In limited cases, the MBTA may elect to award on a sole source basis
The Innovation Proposal Policy is not meant to replace the usual procurement process but augment the MBTA’s ability to engage with the transit industry and the Greater Boston Region’s world class academic, non-profit and technology sectors in new ways
