NABSA Opens Requests For Proposals
Formed in 2014, NABSA is a 501(c)(3), membership-based industry association made up of bikeshare and shared micromobility system owners, managers, operators, vendors, and technology providers. The purpose of NABSA is to provide an organized forum for collaboration, sharing of experiences and best practices, enhanced communications, and guidance to the rapidly growing micromobility industry. As our name suggests, NABSA began with a focus on bikeshare, but as the industry has expanded into new micromobility modes, so too has NABSA. The organization has recently widened its scope to include scooters and new shared micromobility devices.
NABSA Requests Proposals for the following two projects:
Data Specialist: NABSA seeks to retain a data specialist or firm on an ongoing basis to be NABSA’s data expert. This includes ongoing management of NABSA’s GBFS standard, involvement with the City of Los Angeles Mobility Data Specification (MDS) as-needed, and data privacy conversations (definitions of terms below).
Industry Metrics Report: NABSA seeks to produce an industry metrics report for the bikeshare and shared micromobility industry across North America (US, Canada, and Mexico). The audience will primarily be industry stakeholders and policy-makers. This will entail both the development of the metrics themselves, data collection, and production of the final report deliverables. We aim to produce this report annually, and thus view the metrics as important ongoing benchmarks. This scope is for the development of metrics and production of the first report.
Deadline: March 29th, 2019
