The Rapid City Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (RCMPO) in conjunction with the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), seeks proposals from qualified consultants to prepare optimized traffic signal timings on signalized corridors and to produce before and after measures of effectiveness to quantify the changes in traffic operations.

The corridors selected are: • Omaha Street (SD Hwy 44) from Cambell Street to Deadwood Avenue • Mountain View Road (SD Hwy 44) from Omaha Street to Jackson Boulevard • La Crosse Street from Mall Drive to Omaha Street • East North Street (East Boulevard) from Mall Drive to Omaha Street Deadline for submission is April 14, 2026 at 4p.m. MST
