Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $20,000,000

No contract value is disclosed, but a university‑wide transit operation typically involves fleet maintenance, driver payroll, fuel, and administrative overhead. Based on comparable campus transit contracts, annual expenditures often range from $5 million for smaller campuses to $20 million for larger systems. Assuming a multi‑year contract (e.g., 3‑5 years), total budget could fall between $15 million and $100 million. The estimate here reflects the lower‑end annual spend, recognizing that actual figures will depend on fleet size, service frequency, and sustainability requirements.
