The Cost of Doing Business
10:15 - 11:45 a.m.
Seneca, Level 4
Cause and effect of procurement proposals.
Is responding to proposals costly or just the cost of doing
business? Hear from the supplier’s side what is involved
in responding to a request from a property and the cost
associated with it. Find out where that cost is absorbed
— usually in the cost to the property! Also, hear from the
property side why the various proposal requirements are
in place. Speakers will discuss the cost of requirements
contained in a proposal and ways to streamline and
lessen the financial burden on suppliers resulting in more
submissions and a lower cost solution for the agency.

Moving Mobility
Management Forward
10:15 - 11:45 a.m.
Willow B, Level 2
How to create and maintain a successful mobility
management program.
Mobility management is a strategic approach to managing
a coordinated community-wide transportation network
with multiple operating partners. With new technologies,
mobility management can offer a single point of customer
access to multiple travel modes while lowering the costs of
providing service.
Hear from mobility managers and other experts on new
and existing mobility management programs; and get the
latest information as APTA continues to advance its mobility
management strategic plan by providing information, training
opportunities, and technical resources to help implement
mobility management in your community.
