Request for Proposals (RFP) — More Information
A Request for Proposals (RFP) provides information on an available property or location, explains how to prepare a proposal, and outlines terms of prospective leases or licenses.

The MTA seeks proposals from as many potential proposers as possible, evaluates all of the proposals submitted, negotiates terms and conditions, and concludes the transaction.
MTA invites all interested parties to submit a proposal in response to an announcement of an RFP. The specific requirements of any RFP and the documents required in support of any proposal will be detailed in the RFP information packet which is available on-line via the links shown above.
