The selected consultant will function as an extension of agency staff, ensuring vendor accountability, supporting organizational readiness, and facilitating a coordinated and orderly system launch.

The overarching goal of this engagement is to support a seamless implementation that minimizes service disruption, ensures system integrity, prepares staff, and delivers a positive rider experience at go-live
