The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO), in partnership with the City of Raleigh, NCDOT, and eastern Wake County jurisdictions (the towns of Garner, Knightdale, Wake Forest, and Rolesville), is soliciting proposals for the Eastern Wake Traffic Signal System Integration Study. This study builds upon CAMPO's previous Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Traffic Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) initiatives. The purpose is to evaluate feasibility, provide technical guidance, and outline implementation steps for integrating traffic signal systems across jurisdictional boundaries while aligning with Raleigh's Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) standards.

Expected outcomes include:

• Development of a tailored integration guidebook for Raleigh and eastern municipalities, leveraging national best practices and lessons from the Western Wake Study.
• Comprehensive infrastructure evaluation and mapping of existing/planned signal systems, ownership, maintenance responsibilities, and traffic management center needs.
• Review of funding opportunities, including ITS TIP projects, and identification of local, state, federal, and partnership-based sources.
• Peer reviews of national signal system integrations to identify best practices relevant to eastern Wake County.
• Draft agreements and template language for data-sharing, maintenance, access, and liability frameworks.
• Regular coordination with a Technical Steering Committee (CAMPO, NCDOT, Raleigh, Garner, Knightdale, Wake Forest, Rolesville).
• Targeted stakeholder outreach to build consensus and promote participation.

The consultant is expected to provide recommendations and final deliverables to the client and deliver final project presentations to local governing boards no later than anticipated completion date of June 30, 2027. Completed Proposals are due no later than 3:00 p.m. on Friday, January 9, 2026, with a Notice to Proceed anticipated to be issued in late February 2026.
