The Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority ("LYNX" or the "Authority") is an agency of the State of Florida, created by the Florida Legislature to own, operate, maintain, and manage a public transportation system in the areas of Orange, Osceola, and Seminole Counties. The Authority's enabling legislation (Florida Statutes
Section 343.64) has the express intention "that the Authority be authorized to plan, develop, own, purchase, lease, or otherwise acquire, demolish, relocate, equip, repair, maintain, operate, and manage a regional public transportation system and public transportation facilities; to establish and determine such policies as may be
necessary for the best interest of the operation and promotion of a public transportation system; and to adopt such rules as may be necessary to govern the operation of a public transportation system and public transportation facilities." In 1993, the Authority began doing business as "LYNX". LYNX serves approximately 2,500 square miles with a resident population of 2.1 million people. Fixed route bus service operates from 4:00 AM to 3:00 AM each weekday and provides more than 25 million unlinked passenger trips each year.
A five-member board of directors governs LYNX, which board consists of representatives from Orange, Osceola, and Seminole Counties, the City of Orlando, and the Florida Department of Transportation. LYNX provides an array of transportation services in the form of fixed route bus services, door-to-door Paratransit services, carpool/vanpool services, flex-route services, limited-stop bus route services, rapid bus circulators, and community shuttle service to special events. Deadline for Submission of Questions/clarifications: Wednesday, May 29, 2024 @ 2:00 Pm Est. There is no DBE goal established for this procurement. Proposers are encouraged to make every attempt to secure a level of DBE participation that contributes toward the achievement of LYNX's overall DBE goal of 7.6%.
