Johnson County is seeking a qualified turnkey transportation operator to lead door-to-door on-demand and pre-scheduled trips through a new potential program.

According to a release from the County, the Trip Connect pilot aims to address the transportation needs of Johnson County residents seeking access to employment and education in Coralville and North Liberty during periods when conventional public transportation is unavailable.

The program is scheduled to begin this July and run for two years. Those that apply must be equipped with a minimum of two passenger vehicles, including one ADA-accessible vehicle, and hold appropriate vehicle and liability insurances.

The operators must have drivers who have passed drug and alcohol testing and had background checks completed.

Full details of the program and its requirements are available by going to https://johnsoncountyiowa.gov/bids-and-proposals.
Submissions are due no later than April 19, 2024.
