At NATA, part of our mission is to provide resources and educational materials on contracting as an option for public transit service. There are numerous options for contracting and each agency customizes their contract for their community’s and agency’s needs. However, the fundamentals of what makes a successful contract and contracting relationship are the same. At NATA we know that an open, transparent, and results-driven partnership between a private contractor and transit agency fosters the ability for both parties to deliver a better experience for passengers and the broader community. This guide serves as a starting point for how to contract an existing service or a new mode of transit.
