With the passage of the New York City Public Works Investment Act in 2019, the Department began planning the launch of the Design Build program. During this planning phase NYC DOT has held several discussions with industry partners to gain valuable insights into aspects of successful design build projects as well as the concerns of the industry from previous experiences. The event will include an overview of NYC DOT’s current Design Build program approach for bridge projects, anticipated projects and general timeline. We hope this will provide the industry with information necessary to inform its resourcing and planning efforts moving forward. There will be a Q&A portion after the presentation is completed.

Zoom: http://bit.ly/3qVxsc8 (passcode 698097) is provided for participation to the event. However RSVP via email at ACCO@dot.nyc.gov is strongly recommended. Email should have Design Build soft launch in the subject line along with name, firm/organization affiliation, title, email and telephone contact information prior to the event.

The purpose of this memorandum is to lift the temporary moratorium on typical transportation data collection implemented by the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) in March, 2020, as well as to provide guidelines for future data collection.

Notice: NYC DOT to Hold E-Scooter Share Industry Day on Tuesday October 6

The New York City Department of Transportation invites interested e-scooter (electric scooter) share providers, companies that assist local governments in managing and overseeing micromobility providers, and related entities to participate in an “E-Scooter Share Industry Day” to be held virtually on Tuesday October 6, 2020 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM ET. The feedback from this event will help inform the Department’s approach to developing an e-scooter share pilot program, as required by Local Law 74 of 2020, during a period of significant fiscal challenges.

NYC DOT believes that to be safe, equitable, and sustainable, an e-scooter share pilot program in New York City needs to include robust participation and oversight by the Department. Given the current fiscal climate, NYC DOT is seeking to engage the e-scooter share industry in a conversation around the following topics:

1. innovative partnership and funding models to support NYC DOT oversight of e-scooter share providers;
2. the industry’s perspective on what a safe, equitable, and sustainable e-scooter pilot program would look like in New York City;
3. innovative approaches and technologies to make e-scooter share systems more accessible to people with disabilities; and
4. innovative approaches and technologies to improve e-scooter share safety, reduce sidewalk obstruction, and increase user compliance with operating rules.

In addition to e-scooter share providers, NYC DOT is seeking to engage companies that assist local governments in managing and overseeing micromobility providers and related entities to better understand the services they offer in the areas of micromobility data aggregation and analysis, automated oversight tools, and other support services. The Department is particularly interested in technologies or approaches that companies in this space have deployed to assist other cities in successfully overseeing micromobility providers.

To receive a formal invitation, interested parties should contact Gail Hatchett at NYC DOT’s office of the Agency Chief Contracting Officer (ACCO) at (646) 565-5131 or via email at ACCO@dot.nyc.gov.
