Request for Proposals: Behavioral Science – Cash Payment of Transit Friends
Posted: 8/28/2019 (Conference)
King County Metro Transit has released a Request for Proposals seeking behavioral science expertise. The primary deliverable for this RFP is development, implementation, and analysis of a set of experimental designs for applying behavioral science to decrease onboard cash payment of transit fares. Consistent with King County’s strong commitment to advancing equity, we seek to reduce onboard cash payment in a manner that maintains or enhances access to transportation for specific populations such as people with low or no income.
A secondary objective of the RFP is for King County to gain experience working with behavioral science, so that we may identify additional areas where this expertise can be applied to help us achieve results.
Please help us spread the word about this RFP by forwarding, posting, or getting it into the right hands at organizations at which you are affiliated. Or, if this opportunity is of interest to you, please submit a proposal! Bidding closes September 19 at 2PM Seattle time.

This is an exciting opportunity for us at King County and, I believe, for a research partner. King County Metro Transit is one of the largest transit agencies in the country, and one of the few that is growing. We were recently named the best large transit system in North America, recognizing our achievements in innovation, equity, and sustainability. Our leadership is eager to build and use evidence to support our decision making.
