The contract’s scope includes ambulatory and wheelchair‑accessible trips, with flexibility on vehicle types (buses, sedans, SUVs, etc.) provided safety standards are met. No mileage data is tracked, and incumbents must be identified via public‑records requests. The final proposal is due April 30, 2026, 4:00 PM CST.
