Working with the MPO
The MPO sometimes hires experts in their fields to help out with studies and reports, and in making recommendations for how to achieve our regional transportation vision. The MPO typically issues a request for qualifications (RFQ) for services at the beginning of each calendar year, but periodically additional RFQs will be issued as needs arise.
Check this page for future opportunities to work with the MPO, and sign up to be notified of future MPO RFQs.
Regional Activity Centers
The Indianapolis MPO seeks qualifications for firms to provide consultation on regional activity centers (areas with concentrations of population or employment or both). The selected firm will assist the MPO in identifying criteria for regional activity centers, consolidating (or eliminating) some of the 40 already-identified centers, refining the typologies to ensure they are distinct and can be used in the 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan update process, and potentially integrating them into a scoring matrix for project funding. Deadlines for questions and final submission are within the RFQ document and will be strictly adhered to.
