New Jersey Transit has issued a request for expressions of interest (RFEI) to identify qualified and experienced firms capable of introducing innovative solutions for transportation services between the Frank R. Lautenberg Rail Station in Secaucus Junction and the Meadowlands complex.
The Meadowlands area poses unique challenges to mass transit, including sporting events and concerts held at MetLife Stadium; the new American Dream retail and entertainment complex that will have 20,000 employees and attract 40 million visitors annually; highly sensitive environmental features such as the Hackensack River; busy roads; and an existing rail line to the stadium from Secaucus Junction, NJ Transit officials said in a press release.
The agency is seeking partners that can provide end-to-end solutions for peak capacity service, including design, build, operations and management ideas, and ways to finance proposals.
"This is an opportunity for the most innovative and forward-thinking public and private-sector firms, nationally and internationally, to provide next-generation solutions," said NJ Transt President and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Corbett. "[It's] about finding the means and methods for the future of moving people throughout densely populated areas."
The RFEI solicitation follows the inaugural "innovation challenge" meeting of more than 140 interested parties that was held Nov. 7 in the Meadowlands. RFEI responses must be submitted to NJ Transit by Jan. 24, 2020.
